I think we can all, in some way, have our problems with this. We all sometimes are triggered by something that causes us to get angry. And, it may not be the same for another person. They may become angry at something that we can handle peacefully. This is why Matthew 7:3-4 is so important to keep in mind. We may thing we can handle it, but what about the other person.

As for me, I think I have a combination of both. There are things that I can deal with patiently and there are other things, though few, that I tend to have less patience in dealing with that thing. I do my best to own up to the times that I do overreact, and I also ask God for help. It usually takes me getting worked up or a gradual series of events that causes me to become angry.

With that being said, Paul tells us to ‘work out our salvation with fear and trembling’, meaning that we must continually work on ourselves and how we react to other people. When we look out for others and help them, especially in their faults, we are building the body of Christ.
