How do you refrain yourself from not lashing out on somebody

I can’t hold all the hurt and frustration built inside of me in any longer

It depends against whom and why I feel like lashing out. If I hope to have any future relationship, I do my best not to lash out but to explain my side and ask for theirs. If that can't happen, I try to just terminate the relationship in terms of intensity (I can't be your girlfriend, best friend, etc) anymore.

In the final analysis, lashing out rarely accomplishes anything except some temporary decompression and a worsening of tensions. It also sometimes results in the other person telling us some things that they see as truth that may be more painful than we anticipate.
