How do you deal with aggression?

[Brisco Bold]

doesn't throwing stuff just make you look and feel childish?

Yes.

I got pushed really, really, really far last summer and put a 14" hole in my family room wall with an Oxford. (It was the nearest throwable object.)

I haven't thrown anything or broken anything in a decade, so it sorta caught me off guard.

And how do I deal with agression?

Depends on the situation. I know I'll get mangled in a fight, so I'll back down. But if I know it's a battle of words, I'll fight back. If the situation is important to me (or someone I care about is being put at risk), I might do something stupid and risk a fight.

Not really, but if it looks childish, that's part of its charm.It just goes to show how passionate I am concerning certain things.

No it doesn't. Maybe if you cried too.

Usually, I take it out on some unsuspecting underclassmen.
Example: "Man, I sucked at that test." Idiot freshmen that refuses to bathe walks by "Hey, bitch. You afraid of showers?"
Ex. 2: "Damn, I forgot my line." Kid who wears Hollister shirts too often says something "Shut up, O.C."
It's that easy. It really takes a load off.

Murder.

I internalize, sublimate and then deny the anxiety, which I then release in other passive-aggressive forms on the internet. It's a great system, you should all try it.

You can tell the aggressive people in life because they're usually more upfront with you. I personally don't just do stuff just because it's retaliation, but I try to see what he situation is about. Maybe some guy just killed his puppy or something and he kicked over my sand castle in frustration, so I understand. If nobody kicked his puppy before he kicked the castle, then somebody's going to kick his puppy afterwards.

Shit, I just bought SF collection on the Xbox.

I completely forgot how angry I would get playing CvS2. I punch shit a lot and hurt myself. Sometimes I punch myself in the face. You don't understand, I hulk out when I play these online fighting games against strangers, especially if they drop on my ass.

I understand exactly what you mean, except without the self-face punching. It's like CvS2 is some Lovecraftian device designed to summon an elder deity of hate into this world. I mean, it's really like that's exactly what it is.

I have never had so many vivid, violent fantasies as I have had from that game. Wishing I could teleport into people's homes, smash their tvs with a hammer and then rig their Xbox to deliver painful electric shocks to their genitals if they ever drop again while inducing every attractive women they ever meet to mock their manhood until they've lost that single shred of self-esteem they had left after dropping...

...yep. That was pretty much Tuesday night with Blanka for me. And it was extra frustrating for me because I was like the only guy on there who actually played the game like a non-dickhead and didn't tick-throw, pre-program my controller, use lame-o game-destroying EX Grooves, drop or use the 3 characters who could beat everyone else.



Eventually, after smashing my dual shock into a thousand pieces I decided it was time to sell the game before I became consumed with hate and joined some kind of squid-demon cult. That would have been a pretty embarassing way to go out. Although, I guess I could've found out what really happened to Kidnemo...

I'm a lover not a fighter.

I use to break stuff.
