I Am Difficult

I'm impossible to live with.
At some point, we're going to argue.
I eventually will yell at you.
You'll yell back.
Some people have tried just walking away...(I may or may not have chased them, still yelling).
I don't like any of that (most of the time). I hate to actually upset people. (Oldest adopted can't handle yelling even when it's not at her, even when it's just at the screen so I try really [i]really[/i] hard to tone things down)
If I'm driving and you can't handle the yelling, you're going to have to take the bus or a cab. Because people piss me off too much on the road.

Youngest biological and I seem to have worked this out so that we can still talk after an argument and it doesn't escalate. There was a time we lived together and had to share a room. Nighttime conversations went something like: "I hate you...night." and "I told mom that if the only way I could get the room to myself was to kill you, I'd do it. She thought I was joking but I wasn't..."
We laugh about it now, but that feeling still applies today so we know we can't ever live together even as adults.

My mom and I are very much alike, I even look like her! But as a kid, our similarities caused much strife. She'd yell at me, and I'd yell right back. Now that we've both gotten older, our tempers have mellowed out significantly, but I know I couldn't live with her again. She's a good mom, but we're much too similar to get along.
