　　For as long as I can remember, I have been very bad at arguing with people．As soon as someone disagrees with me, I get angry because I feel attacked, like the other person is out to show that I am wrong．And for some reason, I hate being wrong!So my immediate reaction is to get very defensive, I raise my voice, and I end up saying something I later regret．Needless to say, the whole thing ends with me beating myself up, and the other person feeling alienated(疏远)from me．This bothers me especially because my mother does the exact same thing and I hate it!

　　I have noticed this tendency in me for a long time now, but I have never been able to stop．I did some anger management work with a therapist(治疗专家)a while ago, but because I moved and turned to an advisor at school who cannot see me regularly, I have not been able to continue this important work．They tell you to stop and count to 10, control your breathing, calm yourself down before you talk．But that's the whole problem, I could never think of stopping myself until it was too late!The hurtful things had already come out of my mouth, and I was stuck picking up the pieces．

　　Right now the problem is urgent because my relationship with a wonderful boyfriend is in danger because of my insecurity and hatred of being wrong．He is closing himself off to me because I have hurt him, and no doubt I am no longer attractive as a woman with no confidence in herself and a bad temper．How do I stop ruining my relationships and hating myself?How do I stop hating being wrong?
