There's also another option. Cobra, you'll like this one.

I grew up in an alcoholic home. Strong emotions meant that an explosion was just around the corner. When I left home, one of my personal goals was to have a peaceful home. I even get uncomfortable at department stores when a customer starts getting loud and obnoxious to the poor minimum wage cashier.

People start expressing strong emotions, I immediately move into peacemaker mode.
