What makes you overreact and how often?

[aba1]

I hate being that guy who comes off all smug or who seems to act like nothing bothers him but I am actually fairly well known for not getting emotional over almost anything. I have been told by a good few people on a good few occasions that I can be a touch too mellow at times. I have actually had this get me into sticky situations cause I am so straight forward when I say things sometimes people take implications from it that I had no intention of implying.

I have a very over active imagination, so I tend to freak out over odd little things like:
- People not washing there hands after using the bathroom or touching smelly body parts.
- Raw eggs and meat. I have to wash my hands twice because I think I'll get sick.
- Centipede. They bite, sting, are venomous, and don't die.

I will swear and make a huge fuss over these three things. One time my boyfriend thought it would be funny to touch his butt, then tough me. I flipped out, he said he didn't touch his butt but I still wanted to see him wash his hands before he did anything else.

Christianity. I could go on for hours about every gripe I have with this organization, but I think I'll let google images depict my distaste.

Well, that makes two of us. Though I hate religion in general, don't know about you Bhaal.

OT: I personally rarely ever even get irritated, much less pissed off, but my father has a knack for driving me into rages, but I wouldn't necessarily say I overreact.

Other than that, NOBODY messes with my cats, ever. If you want to avoid a major ass beating don't even think about tormenting them, just don't. If you HURT them, well...

Needless to say, you're dead, just don't do it.

Casual bigotry (or just bigotry in general) really gets my goat, much more than it honestly should. I honestly just can't stand people thinking less of people over something stupid, it makes me fly off the handle whenever I see it. :\ Makes me wonder how I can stand posting on a video game forum for so long. XD

 

[lacktheknack]

Anti-theism REALLY gets my goat-



<------ mfw

...I'm gonna shove off now.

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

Everything. Every single thing.

I used to be really calm and quiet, but that was because I was miserable and had low self-esteem and relied too heavily on my mother's teachings that I should always keep my feelings to myself and be a good little martyr.

But then I got sick of it, and suddenly I had all these feelings and I didn't know what to do with them, and I still don't.

All these feels! What I do.

I feel like I'm going through my teenage years a decade too late.

A few random things in LoL make me overeact. First and foremost Nidalee Spears. They are so, so evil.

I was playing Shaco today and I just under half health and was chilling under a tower after a tower dive then suddenly BOOM max range spear coming right at me, I literally shouted OH SHIT! OH oh god, oh fuck i'm ok! i'm ok guys! 8HP!"

This happens every single time I play or get put against Nidalee. It's weird

I think playing against Jax is the worst though, I actually went full on RAGE mode earlier today when I was against him top... Almost, almost, almost ragequitted and still did a little rage scream. Seriously, i've never raged harder in that game before.

I was in a Skype call with people in the same game. It was pretty funny. We won anyway, fuck you Jax! Somehow Irelia outscales you lategame!

Jax has been added to my instaban list now though, along with Blitzcrank. I don't care about the standard bans, those two can fuck right off.

Oh I dislike random racism and sexism and shit but really who doesn't? I guess I don't like religion all the much but i'm not going to demand some guy to drop his faith because lol evolution. Even if The Bible does contradict itself every other page.

I don't care if some god exists or not just stop going on about it. Agnosticism is the real way forward. Failing that I can always start up some Haruhism, that's fun :3

 

[BarbaricGoose]

I got a few. I'm a pretty level-headed guy, but these things make me groan every time.

- When people combine all the titles of the various modern military FPS games. Call of Honor: Medal of Black Doorfighters. You know what kills me? They think they're being clever. It's as if they think billions of people have not made that joke before. You're not being clever--you're being a condescending dickhead. Not to say condescending dickheads can't be clever.

- People who use words like "Butthurt," "******" and "Retard." Louie C.K. can say ******, though. Totally okay with that--he's earned that right.

- Solo top Riven.

 

[ZephyriaSoul]

The only thing I really overreact to is being called a "he" by people that know me and what I am. I know it seems like a small thing, but...It really grates on my nerves. Especially since one of my "best friends" refuses to call me how I identify.

Also, hate for bronies, if they're not trying to convert you, let them do their own thing. They're not hurting you in any way.

Other than that, I'm a pretty chill person.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Inadvertently knocking over a glass of water.

That's really the only thing that can make me blow my top.

Christianity. I could go on for hours about every gripe I have with this organization, but I think I'll let google images depict my distaste.

I would be very careful about defining Christianity (or any religion) as an organisation.

1.people suporting Legion from Fallout:NV..will induce ranting

I think they are a really interesting faction and Caesar is a great character. Not good, but interesting.

I try not to get angry, but I really dislike people complaiming particuarly if you are in a situation where you can't do anything about it. I.E you are out on a long walk and someone is complaining about how much they want to watch something on TV, or how bad the weather is.

I supose..though I mean people who see them as the best hope for the wasteland...that actually scares me a little

I have these friends who hate the Beatles, but bizarrely know nothing about them or their songs.
I asked them why they hated them, and they said, "Because all their songs are just the same things repeated over and over."
I gave several examples of songs that didn't, and they hadn't heard any of them. Not even obscure song either. Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Eleanor Rigby, With a Little Help From My Friends, all basic stuff.
Then later, Here Comes the Sun came on their Pandora station, and they mentioned they liked it. I told them it was a Beatles song and they were really surprised. They didn't even recognize the band on the album cover.

This, to me, goes beyond a simple matter of taste. If they had heard the music and decided they did not like it. Fine. But this is willful ignorance, and outright disdain for something you know nothing about.
Examples of this downright shunning of knowledge and understanding always get me in tizzy. Not just with music, but with anything. Thankfully, I mostly kept my cool, and I will not talk to them about music. Ever.

the entertainment industry. i don't know why but in the last few year is seems to me that all the people who knew what they where doing has been replaced by inbred brainless shitmoneys who have no idea. and this happens alot

 

[Sandjube]

People hoo talk lik dis den fink dat i m dum 4 geting angry at u. Seriously, stop slaughtering the language I am paid to protect!

I'm an editor/proofreader, just FYI.

Christianity. I could go on for hours about every gripe I have with this organization, but I think I'll let google images depict my distaste.

Yeah, although I don't like any religion. And I don't really get angry anymore, I kind of just find it funny now.
I actually found out that one girl was religious in my class. She was all like "Yes, I do believe that God exists". When I heard that I slowly turn my head away from my laptop and was about to tell her my opinion on the matter, then I realized that if I did that I would be kind of an ass. But damn, I wanted to.

OT:
I CAN NOT handle small sounds that shouldn't be there when I'm about to sleep. Like a dripping water outside my window. GOD! I woke up in the middle of the night one day and went outside to find out where this diabolical sound came from. I couldn't find it and I looked for about 10 fucking minutes and I had fucking school the next day. FUCK!

This. Comments like this make me overreact. As a catholic it's hard not to take offense when people spew hatred like this all over my beliefs.
I don't want to start a flame war. I know it's something that comes with the internet, people are free to express opinions and all that jazz, but I just don't get it. How can someone despise something as broad as Christianity? In fact I don't care what religion it is. I've defended Islam before from people who seem to think all Muslims are secretly terrorists.

It's just not fair to take the worst examples of a people and use that as the standard to judge them by. We catholics believe in evolution, we support all forms of scientific advancement, we're not crazy, some of us even support abortion and other controversial medical issues.

 

[SoulSalmon]

A couple things actually

Things that get me mad include
Blind hatred (Especially on things the hater couldn't even know about, The WiiU seems to be causing a lot of it recently).
People who can never accept that anything that goes wrong could ever be their fault.
People who pretend to listen to older music to seem more sophisticated (Oh you're a huge Queen fan? name a song that isn't "We Will Rock You" or "Bohemian Rhapsody"... Yeah, thought not).
People who think medical problems like Autism, Tourrettes, Dyslexia and Epilepsy don't exist.
And Ziggs >.>

But there's one overreaction that isn't anger, if I'm left alone with my thoughts and they turn to death... I overthink it and give myself a panic attack at the thought of what true nothingness could be...

I catch myself getting worked up over these events once every few days.

Legion gives the wasteland tough love.

Just to answer one of your questions about the Legion being racist, they don't disriminate between different ethnicities, indeed that goes against their whole mission statement of absorbing everyone into the Legion. If you loot Legion bodies you will see different ethnicities. Ulyssess (who is ex-Legion) is a blsck legionnare.

However they do discriminate against Ghouls and Super Mutants, though it is more "don't bother us and we won't bother you" than "kill with fire"
