Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easier way than just trying to be aware of how you're acting and thinking before you speak.

But also, think about if there are times when you can express what's bothering you directly. I have a problem sometimes of not admitting something bothers me, but passive-aggressively expressing it in my tone, which I try to watch. The way I try to think is, if a frustration is worth expressing, then I should be able to handle it maturely. And if it's not that important, I don't need to make it a big deal.

Being direct can also be good sometimes if you're frustrated about something not related to your parents. Saying, "Man, I'm tired. Work has been so hectic. I feel like I could scream" is better than snapping at people because you're stressed. And if you're honest about being stressed or needing some quiet time, your parents might be able to respect that.

You might be reverting to your teenage self a bit because you're not used to negotiating living with your parents as an adult. You might need time to decompress sometimes, but unless your parents are on the clingy side, you can probably negotiate that without too much drama. There's nothing wrong with saying, "Mom, Dad, I'm really tired so I think I'm going to chill out for a while" if you're feeling frustrated or claustrophobic.
