Have you considered blackface? Those around you would just assume you were raised in an 'urban' environment.
But seriously, what I've worked out, when the beast started building was to ask myself: "Am I thinking? Or am I feeling?" (my perspective being, A Good Man will use reason while under duress while pussies blame their feelings, or circumstances, or a lack of fairness...) I'm not calling you a pussy, not saying there isn't a literal fuckton of evil in the world, just sharing what is for me, an effective pattern interrupt.
** I'm not saying men shouldn't have feelings, but at times of their choosing, and generally not (I think the word I want is -) reactively?
** of course, I may have just watched and read too many "Stiff upper lip" war stories as a kid. ;'p
