I used to get angry when I was a kid, but maybe I just always expressed it the wrong way, because I was a bully to my younger siblings. Then when I hit teen years I decided I didn't want to be violent anymore, so I stopped beating them up, and in order to do that, I had to stop feeling anger. So now, at best I just get extremely annoyed with *******s or anyone who frustrates me. I guess in my mind anger=beating someone up, so I just don't go there.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I love losing it on someone's ass, especially when its someone I hate. It hasn't happened in a really long time though. The thing that sets me off more than anything in the world is when people raise their voice at me...I just explode immediately.

Hey,

Let's be friends!

hmmm....i dont think im that badly damaged (mentally).

oddly, it will take ALOT and i mean ALOT to make me angry, you would have to kick me in the balls to get me to stike back but by god it is a reserved blow. i have never EVA hit someone in full anger or hate, disincluding when i was 11.

but hitting somone with a justified motive? i truly think there is none, the result would be me hitting them, they hit me back, probably kicking (dishonorable bastards, fight with some god dam honour) and i would probably hit them back, and it would go on, or i would hit them, it would do nothing and i would get utterly crushed, im very untrustworthy of myself.

tell me if its jsut me but

when ever you hit somone has it ever been in the face? if so (never in my case) did u not feel how utterly wrong it feels?



the best motive you have for hitting someone, mind you not with full strength or with a fist, is simply just to show them they cant walk over you.

when someone is an ******* to me sometimes I give them a taste of their own medicine except maybe worse and I dont like to think of myself as an ******* just.. doing something to even things up.

The other thing you said though that *******s motivate you to do your best... perhaps it is fueled out of vengeance not necessarily a sense of justice, you have to be careful with that. If it is then more power to you.

Yes, but only after I took a hit to the face first. It felt amazingly satisfying because it was justified in my mind as defending someone & teaching a bully a lesson.

I've only been in 2 real fights in my whole life, and both were when I was 16-17. I've been blessed with the gift of speech, so 99% of the time I just physically intervene (to non-violently separate people) & then work my magic.

Dont get me wrong, I work out & am a good sized athletic guy... so when I split things up, intimidation mixed with my talking is almost always enough.

For the first part, thats how I see myself as well.
An "avenger" I guess...

For the second part, I think that may be part of my problem =/... Can you/anyone explain your 2nd paragraph more thoroughly? =]

I don't know if retaliating is wrong, but it sure gives satisfaction to the bully. It seems like the bully is trying to get the victim to totally lose it and then they know that they got what they wanted. I find that bullies have no fire to throw if I shrug off their nasty comments.

Sure_whynot

But that's no fun at all, I'd much rather drag their names through the mud. & Destroy their false scene of self-confidence.
