How difficult do you find it to resist when people invite force from you, /mental/? How strongly tempted are you to throw your most prized (and most heavy) possessions, to bite and to kick, to fight or to flee when faced with people who are bad? Do you ever consider yourself to be bad? How about non-persons; places, systems, institutions, etc?

 No.7745

>>7744
>non-persons; places, systems, institutions
The representatives thereof too, of course.

When others talk about negative influences - as well personal impacts had by negative influences, how do you feel?

 No.7747

>>7746
Fuck, sorry. My English is failing; let me rephrase that:

How do you feel when others talk about negative influences? How do you feel when others talk about personal examples and ideas of a negative influence?

 No.7748

How do you handle conflicting statements about your intellect, /mental/? How would you cope with a feeling that the first eighteen years of your life had been largely wasted?

 No.7749

>>7748
What would you do if you felt your personal development had been severely limited, /mental/?

 No.7750

Do you think you're a failure, /mental/?

 No.7753

>>7744
Easy, unfortunately. I'd like to be more violent, to stand against those who might wish harm upon me or my people, especially those whom are part of the state/large corporations.
>>7747
I feel pretty fine myself, too be honest. But I have always felt a strong emotional connection to everyone willing to open up to me in this way, so if they're depressed I'll try to do anything I can to change that.
>>7748
When people call me stupid, I try to understand their point of view from a purely logical standpoint, and if I cannot, I figure they're just being an asshole.
The first 18 years of my life were largely wasted. I'm largely wasting my current time, as well.
>>7749
I have felt that, and I've done a lot of introspective thinking to figure out HOW it was limited, and then did research/talked to friends about how to fix it.
>>7750
It's too early to say that…

It's pretty much instinctual for me to not lash out. I hate this though and would love to actually stand up for myself for a change. This goes for certain systems I agree with, as well.
>>7747
As much as a douchebag this makes me seem like, I simply don't care unless I can relate to the situation. However, even if I don't care, I still listen because that is all some people need; someone to be there and listen.
>>7748
The schooling system as a whole is ass backwards and broken. At least in burgerland it is. I failed 10th grade thrice because of math and, honestly, I don't see anything of value as being lost since I wasn't learning anything particularly valuable to me anyhow. Yeah, I am not very smart in some areas, but I consider myself far from stupid in others.
>>7749
I already know it was ruined. Being neglected(not necessarily abused, just largely ignored) as a child led to me becoming way too introverted and destroyed my ability to form, or want to form, any meaningful relationships with people. I now see interaction with them as a waste of time most of the time and more trouble than what it is worth. I have other, more efficient ways, of satisfying my emotional desires.
>>7750
Not really. I have accepted that I am who I am. If it were any other way, I wouldn't be the person I am today and, despite my obvious malfunctions, I have a few things about me that I really like. Failure? No. Not suited for average Joe society? Yes. Because of that, I plan to cut off myself from society rather than bring everyone else down with me. Better the sacrifice of one for the many than all sacrificing for one.

I suck it up to my own detriment, even when I'm blinded by rage and feel like I'm about to drop dead from a heart attack. There are few things I'd like more than to be able to stand up for myself.
>>7747
I start feeling bad. And then they wonder if they did/said something wrong. And then they feel worse, which makes me feel worse, lather, rinse, repeat.
>>7748
I've only come to terms recently that I'm actually smarter than the average person. Used to think I was rather stupid and anyone who complimented my intelligence was a spineless ass kisser.
>>7749
Wouldn't go so far as to say severely limited, but limited to a formidable degree nonetheless. Mostly when it comes to expressing my thoughts and relating to others. Also communication.
>>7750
A bit too early to say definitively, but I doubt I'd turn out to be a failure. I've made a lot of progress regarding my illnesses. Getting better at controlling my anger, can actually ask people for favors, make small talk. Had periodic breaks in my depression. Studying something I like in college.

 No.7812

I can only remember getting physical once since I was a small child, and all I did then was grab the aggressor's arm with the intent on forcing that person outside the room
As soon as I made the grab I regained control and let go, though
I also shouted, I think
Not a very violent guy, I suppose

>>7750
I definitely consider myself a failure of a human being
By my own standards I am doing alright though

 No.7849

>>7750
Yes, I think I was either born or became a failure to everyone around me, and the human race by proxy.

 No.7851

I generally consider myself to be intellectually gifted, but every now and then I stop and note that by many methods of judgement I was a failure of a young child. Sometimes I blame my parents for that rather than thinking of it as a sign of my actually being deficient.

 No.7852

>>7851
Apparently I was dropped on my head as a child.

 No.7947

I was gonna make an anger thread but this looks close.

Yesterday was a good day but that night was terrible. I spent the day with my new step dad just drinking beer and hanging out, but then that night when my mom came home with dinner I just flew off the handle about how she wants to mate like a stupid animal and I pushed her over. She's okay now. I think I am a bad person.

> just flew off the handle about how she wants to mate like a stupid animal
I have similar experiences. You are not alone bro.

 No.8022

I get a little scared of violence, but I think that's normal. When it comes down to the actual fight, I let go and enjoy myself.

 No.8777

>>7744
>people who are bad
That is, people who knowingly and willingly (as much as any one person ever can) do things that achieve nothing; make the world worse.

 No.8779

>>7947
Christ, I know that feeling. Both my parents have mental illnesses, but they tried to an extent. I'd fly off the handle all the time in my early adolescent years over their many fuck-ups. That'd start a pattern of abuse lasting until just before my eighteenth birthday. I'm scared to move out.
