Is there anyone you feel protective of?

I don't know about possessive... I don't feel indignant when someone harms my sister, as if they've affronted me, specifically- my heart just breaks to see her saddened. I don't know, maybe you're right- I don't think I can argue that it isn't somewhat selfish.

...Sorry, you were directing that to someone else, but your comment just made me think.

It's a forum, dude. No apologies necessary.
Conversation is the idea.

Anyway, I would address that in a sufficiently prolix as fuck manner but I am in so much pain it is kind of hard to think properly.
So I guess I'll just remind you that just about everything people do is selfish in nature. Even the act of mourning a person is selfish. You're not upset they're gone. You're upset you lost them.
I think most people would agree, though, if you didn't mourn, you likely never really cared about them at all. So... wherever I was going with this.

God damn my everything hurts.

I have children.

 

[geekRAGE]

no one for me whats the point

 

[Betancore]

My sister. Even though we're pretty close in age, I've always been the older sister to her, and I can't see that changing. I just feel protective of her in a way that I don't feel about anyone else. She's starting to grow up properly now, and she's going to have to live her own life, but it's pretty tough to just let go and let her live and get hurt.

 

[Rarhnor]

Everyone

After all, that's what heroes do.

 

[Glamorgan]

The few friends I have I feel very close to, and will defend at all costs.

 

[Cazza]

I don't feel like anyone I know who needs protection. I would defend my family & friends if needed but unlikily to be needed.

 

[Iznat]

My dog. And Tom, but he's all big and can take care of himself.

I'd say my sister, but not really.

 

[Matt-the-twat]

I don't know. There are things I'd stick up for if they were taking an unnecessary beating (verbal, physical, and this even applies to inanimate objects or ideas). That said there's nothing I consciously set out to protect, I'm another one that doesn't understand the 'no-one's touching my sister approach', it doesn't make any sense, I'm not going to mollycoddle someone throughout their lives. People only live once, we make our own mistakes and learn by them, it's pretty pretentious and self-righteous of yourself if you take it upon yourself to make sure that everything around you is going according to what you think is the correct order of things.

 

[Fidelias]

Any of my friends or family. I tend to have a small circle of trusted friends and family, so yeah.
I mean, I don't know if I'd take a bullet for them, no one knows what they'd do in a situation like that, but I love them. You know, in a manly sort of way...

 

[Elemental]

My family and my friends.

 

[feeback06]

well I have two little sisters, a wife, a grandmother, a mother, and a ton of other female friends who continue to tell me about these "ass hole" guys there with. So...too many to count.

 

[Kingshadow6]

I have 2 good friends that I would protect with my life, and vice verse.

 

[jultub]

My family obviously. The rest are the people who might want to take care of it themselves. If my closest friends ask for it though, I'd willingly get into a fight for them (how far that fight goes depends entirely on the circumstances).

 

[mageroel]

My girlfriend! Also, my best friends.

 

[David_G]

My little sister, if anyone did something to her I'd be fucking mad.

Also, any of my girl friends, whom (is this right? Whom, I mean) I treat like sisters.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

You'll find out if you ever fuck with them.

 

[Infernai]

My family, including my pet dogs.

 

[Oilerfan92]

My friends. I actually think I care more about some things in their lives than they do. Like, if I see a friend dating someone who obviously is an asshole or whatever to them its just whatever. But I'm all "what are you thinking ? Look at them."

 

[Lieju]

My cat.
And well, my family as well. Depends on what kind of things they are threatened by and if they can defend themselves.

I'm probably a bit over-protective of my pets, but they are my responsibility, after all. Humans can make their own mistakes and can defend themselves.
