sa and aggression

[Pookah]

It's quite fun to discuss the latter if you can beat your opponent(s) with scientific data. The infamous "capitalism vs. socialism" debate is my personal favourite.

I just say...neither...its all bull....OMG LEAVE ME ALONE! (aka freak out and run when they are brought up)

Then I watch Hetalia because that's as good as politics gets for me.

yes, social anxiety can make me feel angry. Possibly not so much these days, but definately a few years ago there were a lot of angry thoughts on my mind. Now I have other things to distract my thoughts. Lately its been more fearful thoughts.

I try not to get angry when anyone may misunderstand my anxiety, no one can be expected to understand.

I've been on plenty of boards with much more aggression than this board. Most notable are boards about game consoles, politics or cars.

I've been on usenet, with no moderators or closed/deleted threads. They'll eviscerate you and dance upon your steaming innards on there. Makes places like SPW look like a kindergarten.

Stereotypical displaced aggression and using the internet to live out fantasies... it's not unique to us, but we certainly have our own special flavour of it

GRAWWWRRRRRRRLLLLL

Hmn, yeah, sometime. People so easily misunderstand me all the time. Even, i try to apologize or explain... they will just ignore me. I always try to be nice with other people because i like to be treated the same way as i treated other. People just love to be rude and disregard of other people feeling and it's get on my nerve. There are time i just want to get a ........ and ......... all those who treat me like ****. So much anger. Is this you called aggressive behaviour?

 

[Richey]

i only become aggressive if people condescend to me which sort of happens with people of authority, these sorts of people think they belong on a higher plane then everyone else, and can be aggorant. the other day i was talking with someone who is like this and it irked me up so much i had to go outside and kick the wall a few times, i never do this but i was so angry i felt i needed to kick a wall until my foot blead. its the first time that has ever happened but i'm surprised because i've had this sort of treatment since i was a kid so considering i think i've managed to control myself very calmly so far. but this person can be unbearably controlling and arrogant so i'm not surprised i reacted like that.

I used to be very aggressive as a result of my anxiety and depression, I would go off the hook for no reason at all, in fact in a way that is the way I chose to try to hide my anxiety from others or to keep people from getting too close to me.

However, I then started to mellow a bit and found myself with heaps of guilt and depression regarding how I had treated some of the people closest to me. This in turn began to once again heighten my anxiety.

It was only after I started with a very effective meditation exercise that I began to get this all under control. Today I am probably one of the calmest people you will meet and I refuse to damage another persons life due to my own anxiety.

Well... perhaps that's something all of humanity and even non-humans can agree on. Something we all share in common from the single celled amoebas to world leaders. mrb for world peace!

Many of us have a great fear of being judged.

We assume that we are under the scrutiny of everyone we encounter - that they are all judging us.

Why is this?

Could it be that we are the judgmental ones - and so we assume that everyone else is, too?

Like dishonest people assume that everyone is dishonest, or thieves assume that everyone would steal if given the chance.

I wonder....if we were able to lessen our own judgmental tendencies - to become more accepting of other people, and of ourselves - would we be more apt to assume that other people are accepting of us, too.

Would this lessen our anxiety?

 

[Luke1993]

I don't think I am aggressive at all, if someone were to argue with me here (Or in real life actually) I would just say that they're right and I'm wrong cuz I know I'd probably lose and make a fool out of myself lol

I don't think I've ever got angry at someone here, jealousy maybe but not anger.

[mrb]

I don't think my sa makes me aggressive. I don't mind if someone disagrees with me. Everyone has their own opinion. But I do get really irritated and defensive if someone personally attacks me for something.

I think this is a very good observation. I know that I can be judgmental, even though I try not to be. I am sometimes quick to make assumptions about people. It happens almost on a subconscious level, and I try to counterbalance it on a conscious level by really looking at the person (their behaviour, actions, etc. as I get to know them better) and asking myself whether my intial reaction to them was justified or not.
