I fail at arguments.

When I argue I get angry, I get upset which means I cry, which means I get flustered, which means I forget what I'm saying and end up as a crumbled up, confused mess of me, on the floor. Not pretty. 

It must be frustrating to argue with me, perhaps even as frustrating as it is to be me. Luckily I met someone who is immune to tears, he stays solid as a rock amongst my snotty gurgles but when I inevitably lose my point/the plot line and begin to rattle out something ridiculously off-topic or incomprehensible, he gets pretty pissed off and rightly so.

Don't get me wrong though, I would never purposefully do this and yes I do realise that that's not much consolation since it still happens under my watch (even my own consciousness), however what exactly is the magic trick I'm missing here? How does everyone else manage to keep the bunny stuffed in the hat until the big reveal? 

Obviously the bipolar bears of us/me are more inclined to have our emotions jump on any and every possible roller-coaster ride they can muster but there must be some sort of technique that doesn't include counting to 10 backwards (my multitasking skills leave much to be desired) to calm the fuck down? 

Or am I forever destined to fail every argument due to the default emotional stroke-like symptoms that get me sent off for 'pulling a Hollywood' on the field during every match?
