You cannot be responsible for the way other people react, but you can make an effort to ensure that you don't take the brunt of their negative emotions. Play things safe today. Avoid coming into contact with the hotheads in your life. Their tempers are likely to be even shorter than normal. The good news is that you have enough wonderful people in your life that it won't be too hard to skip out on the folks who test your patience and always take everything the wrong way.
