  There are a variety of biases and more general problems (e.g. I predict now for a future "I" that will be a different person). Best book I know on this is "Stumbling On Happiness"

  Its easy to say that we should control ourselves. But if its endless needling and then there is a limit. We either break or try to fight. Its never easy to keep in control always.
