Someone pushed my buttons

'Someone pushed my button and I let them have it'!

It has happened to all of us, even the most ‘altogether’ of us – someone does or says something to us and we transform into a monster.  People push our big red button.
​
The worst part of all – the best button-pushers are those we love the most – our family and close friends.  They’ve learnt our touchy spots. Others can push our buttons too.  They think we’re just the nicest person in their world, until wham! they push our button without even realising what they’re doing, and we’ve turned on them and bitten their heads right off!
It doesn’t matter how mature we are, how patient or if we have bags of self-control, we all have them and people will still touch our sensitive spots when we least expect it.
