Are you violent?

[SirDeadly]

Well, are you? Do you snap and get angry as easily as a twig or are you calmer and need a lot to make you angry? Do you often get into fights or do you control yourself?

I myself have never been in a fight (other than with my brother which you can't really count). All of my friends think I'm weak but I prefer to keep it that way, no one needs to know what I am really capable of. I can't even remember a time when they have seen me overly angry.

Is anyone like me or am I just too calm for my own good?

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I actually can't tell whether I'm calmer or less so than I was in the past.

 

[iFail69]

Nope. Simply, I do not get overtly angry, let alone violent.

I'm good at self-control, I'd only ever fight back, but would never strike the first blow, nor would I be likely to start yelling in anger. Yelling accomplishes nothing, being calm accomplishes a lot.

 

[Davidm4]

Never! what on earth are you insinuating!? I ought to hit you

OT: I've been violent in self defence and once with peer pressure, but I'm really calm. If someone can't listen to reason then violence won't change the situation either. I do have dreams of badly harming theives and armed people. I'm not sure whether I should be worried about that, as i'm sure i'd be afraid if it actually happened. People who know me say that they've never seen me mad before, but I know i'll rant if I think something is stupid.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I only get overly pissed during games or when I'm out of peanut butter.

People on the other hand will generally have a hard time getting a rise out of me.

 

[steeple]

I'm aggressive, never violent...

what I mean is, I have no problem standing up for myself, but I just cant force myself to hit a person for the intent of hurting him...

 

[Dutch 924]

I wouldn't attack someone unless they went for me first. Then I can call it self-defence

 

[Wuggy]

Well, I do get annoyed rather easily, but no, I'm far from violent. If the situation actually becomes 'hot', my adrealine-animal instinct is actually to become extremely cool-headed and I get +5 to diplomacy. I've gotten myself out of a lot of dangerous situations because of this, the "opposition" usually ends up calming down as I make them rationalize what's going on.

That being said, I can defend myself if I need to, IE. I know how to neutralize someone who is agressive. But I rather resolve the situation peacefully or simply run.

 

[Sonicron]

I'm a moody fellow, so my anger threshold varies from day to day... and yes, when I do get angry I really want to bring the pain. However, even if I feel like I'm close to rupturing a blood vessel, I don't start fights; if it's unavoidable I'll defend myself, but I've learned a long time ago it's better to turn your rage towards something productive (like physical labour, for example).

 

[StrixMaxima]

I am forceful and opinionated. Sometimes, even obnoxious.

Violent? Never was pushed that far. I loathe violence, but I will dispense it under the right circumstances (like most sane people in the world).

 

[nightcoil]

Yeah I'm pretty hard to anger, at least I've noticed that I am in comparison to the people around me. And I'm certainly not violent.
In fact, I occasionally consider what i would do in a fight, the conclusion I arrive at is that i will either run away or get beaten up.
Having said that I don't believe myself to be a passive pushover, I enjoy verbal sparring very much.

 

[iLikeHippos]

Well, I've got several accounts called 'Violently', you tell me.

But on a serious note, I am rather calm in general, and would probably not have fisticuffs as a main priority of settling debates, although I shan't stand down from a fight, and I rage quite often.
I am also rather easy to annoy. If you were to bump into me, I'd probably get out of my way to bump back.

 

[legion431]

Yep, and most times I can't help it. I guess it's just my nature.

 

[JoJo]

Not normally, I'm usually a peaceful person and I even find films based mainly on combat or action boring unless it includes something else interesting.

 

[Craorach]

I give people the impression that I am violent... even to the extent that a former employer and coworkers of my wife thought I was abusing her.. and I do tend to growl and snap at people who aren't behaving in public as I believe they should, or working as hard as I think they do.

But I've been in a total of two physical altercations in my thirty years, both as a heavily bullied teenager.

I just don't like people.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

It takes quite a bit to get me angry. Hasn't always been that way though. I've been in 18 fights and lost 1, but those were all when I was younger. Oddly enough, it wasn't the fight that I lost that made me rethink how I was, but one that I won. I easily could have broken a guy's neck because I had lost my temper when I saw him hit a female friend of mine. My vision went red and before I knew it, I had him by the jaw and he was bent almost backwards. When I realized what I was doing, I let him go. Of course, by the time I let him go, the people that were trying to stop me got there and tackled me.

I realized that I could have really hurt him, possibly even killed him, and ultimately for no reason. My female friend wasn't hurt that bad, only a minor bruise. Not that I would let something like that fly nowadays, but I wouldn't go apeshit over it either. I realized then that getting angry never really solves anything, so I just stopped getting angry. Sure, some things still annoy me, but it takes a lot to push me over into being angry.

Although I have lost my temper once since then, and if it hadn't been for four of my friends holding me back, I probably would have murdered my best friend at the time. Turns out that he had sexually assaulting my ex gf (when we were dating) and my best female friend (who I had a huge crush on) and another girl who I didn't know at the time (but would be my gf the next year). He had walked by me not two minutes before I found out, and I fully intended to go to the parking lot and kill him. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and I'm not in jail for murder.

I say violent sounding things, but more out of in-joking than actually being violent. I don't actually get into fights either, since the appearance of a massive hairy bloke tends to diffuse the situation quite quickly. I could probably get violent if I needed to defend myself or my friends, but I hope not to test that theory anytime soon.
