But as I say, all that is quite manageable.

I am the exact opposite. People who know me at work would probably describe me as "intense". The thing is, I get all of my frustration out the moment I have it, and I don't save it up. I say what I think, and I move on. I might even be championing the thing I criticized in the next meeting. When it is not appropriate to get it out at the moment, I find another outlet, THAT DAY. I bike to a small town 25 miles away. I spend an hour at the range. I take a fast, winding drive around Lake Bloomington. I start an involved project at home. My "intense" exterior often hides a very calm, very at peace interior.
