‘Watch your attitude’

Charis: It becomes easier to acknowledge and challenge my own biases and prejudices when confronted by a third party instead of trying to identify them myself.

“STOP pulling a sour face. Watch your attitude!” my family would say when they became the subject of my anger issues.

I knew it was never fun to be on the receiving end of someone’s fury. Although I tried to rein in my temper, I often caught myself in the act, too late to take back what I had said.
