How do you deal with aggression?

How do you deal with aggression? Do you elevate the situation further, or do you give back what you get?

Typically I just give back. If I get cussed, I say a few choice words back. If someone punches me, they get punched back, ect. ect.


Some people feel they need to always one up whatever someone does to them. If you cuss them, they hit you, if you hit them, they break some of your stuff, and you break some of their stuff they shit in your fruit loops.

I just tend to let it go, i used to give into it but that just creats a situation where more aggression gets generated. so i let it slide if i can, if the situation gets too hostile, i leave the situation. I also dont suggest hitting things, thats just training yourself to lash out when provoked, which becomes a less healthy reaction, just let go.

So if I teabagged your keyboard, you wouldn't care?

Can I live with you?

I hit things.

...and complain.

...but, mostly I hit things. My walls look like Swiss cheese.
Thankfully I've been keeping that in check for the past few years, though.

not really though i would look to why you teabagged my keyboard and either cease the offending behavior, if that is reasonable, or find a more effieicent way to restrict your access to my keyboard, and no you cant live with me, you need a shower :p for me its about the causes of behavior, and the most effiective strategies for curbing undesireable behavior, rather than the immediate visceral responses, if anything the act of analysing the situation helps me restrict aggressive outbursts, because i am retaining control, as opposed to ceding control to the offending situation. Not to be a broken record, but you choose how to react to situations, i choose to look for the most efficent path to eliminate negative reactions and maximize pleaseurable ones.

I tuck my tail between my legs, run and _hide_...hmm...

Did you graduate from school with a Bachelors in Risk Managment?

Hard to say. I try to keep levelheaded and cool and all when shit goes down, but I do have my Irish temper. I try my best to find a balance but it doesn't always work. I'm a lot better now than I used to be, however.

I call the cops on anyone that makes fun of me
