Say for example you have an enemy in town: a thief who robbed you and who plans to ambush you in an alley later that night and silence you before you can point him out to the local sheriff.
You see the thief in town and get angry/scared and fail your self-control roll: and against your better judgment you breathe a jet of fire and incinerate the thief.
This removes the potential threat of getting stabbed in an alley later: but perhaps you could've handled that (you're an expert with Judo and have Danger Sense) compared to the new threat your power just created for you: dozens of people just saw you breathe fire and think you're some kind of alien/witch/demon and now the sheriff and all his men will be ordered by the mayor to execute you.
This swaps out the local thief (a danger you could've easily dispatched) with a greater danger of an entire town's garrison...
