How can I control my moods better?

Question

How can I keep my moods in check? I'll be happy one moment then I'll randomly turn all sad and sullen and I don't know why! It happens a lot when I'm talking to certain people and then I make them feel like c**p! How can I stop this?

Answer 1

One of the things that effect mode is perception.  So for example, if you were in college and you got F's all of the time and then one day you got a C, what kind of mood would you be in ?  You would be happy.  However, if you got A's all of the time and you got a C, what kind of mood would you be in ?  You would be upset.

Same C, 2 different reactions.  That's perception.

So you need to change how you perceive what is happening when you talk to those certain people.  There are always at least 2 ways to look at a situation.  It isn't random BTW, there is something that is happening that you are reacting to, you need to figure out what that is.
