What would cause your mind to snap ?

[Fijiman]

For me it'd be like asking a submarine captain how deep their sub can really go. It might be over something simple/asinine, it might be something extremely traumatic, it might never happen. I simply don't know.

Being forced to watch the Animated Titanic Movie ... you know, that one. Any of them actually.


I highly advise that you watch only the reviews... because at least you don't feel like you're the only one who's suffering when dealing with the series.... ugh. Sure it wouldn't make you snap in a dramatic way, but I would go insane if I had to watch ALL THREE of the animated movies...... no. NO. YOU CAN'T PAY ME TO SIT THROUGH THESE.

There's THREE of those abominations?! I thought there were only two, the one that clip is from being the worst offender for to many reasons to list.
EDIT: Turns out I had mixed to the two with mice in them together. You can't really blame me though, they're both terrible complete revolting garbage and have mice in them.

Spoiler: ouch ouch ow.

I...investigated that. The dog was rapping. He was rapping.

...And there is...more than one film...


OT: If Kim Kardashian or any of the cast of Jersey Shore were to win the Presidential Medal of Freedom, I think I'd probably fire lasers out of my eyes, I'd be so pissed off. Good thing it really isn't very likely.

Also Nicki Minaj, her voice, her face, anything.

Dat ass, tho.

I'm really not sure. I'm probably too laid back, as a number have said, so I think in that kind of situation I'd freeze up. Suggestions of animal abuse get me thinking, though, what would I do if I saw one of my animals being mistreated...I'd like to think that I'd go "rage mode", but I feel that's only really useful in fiction.

I'd probably snap and off myself if I went through any kind of severe public humiliation.

 

[Mithcha]

Snapped already, twice. Generally I turn stress into something random and/or productive (i.e. if somethings really stressing me I'll suddenly go get my hair cut, as an example, I don't even enjoy it, but it channels it into -something- so the stress is gone).

That said the two times I did truly snap were fairly horrific really. Was 13 or so the first time, guy repeatedly just kept pushing and pushing so I pushed back with a knife, nobody got hurt, just a lot of running and screaming. Though my friend could've got hurt as he was holding me back whilst I waved this very sharp dangerous object wildly like a bloody moron.

Second time I was 15, very last day of school, until exams anyway, so emotions running high ANYWAY, and this fucker says that my mate was a wimp for crying. I'm very protective of my mate, he saved my life, I'd be prison/drugs/dead if not for him. So yeah...it went all crazy fun knife time again. Much closer this time, pinned him to a wall with the thing to his throat. He was fine, again due to a mate talking me down. I suspect other factors were at play in both cases, but I can only remember the thing that me go *boom*.

Think it's notable both happened as a teenager to be honest. It doesn't take much to annoy me but to get me truly "snapped"... I've faced myself twice, not too sure it's possible anymore due to how I handle stress now.

If someone raped someone close to me and I caught them in the act or ran into them later (without a shadow of a doubt that it was them), I wouldn't be responsible for my actions.

I'm incredibly touchy about this subject, because it turns out my mother was raped by someone she worked with when she was younger, and by all accounts it completely changed who she is as a person. Basically, she's pretty messed up, and what she went through contributed massively to her being the frankly awful parent she was to me when I was growing up, which in turn contributed to some of my own problems. She never pressed charges because he threatened her and because she didn't think anyone would believe her about who the rapist was. Finding out about what happened was horrendous, but it also made so much sense. I've never felt rage like it. That man ruined my mother's life as well as my childhood, before I was even born. I'd be lying if I said I don't entertain some major vengeance fantasies, and if I ever ran into him in the future I honestly don't know if I'd be able to control myself, or if I'd care.

So... uh... yeah, that doesn't really fit with the tone of the last few answers. Needed to get it out, I guess :/

 

[McElroy]

I can only guesstimate (duh), but probably getting framed for something really nasty so convincingly that absolutely nobody would believe me claiming innocent. A practically impossible situation, sure, but that's the nightmare, folks. Stuff like loved ones getting hurt would indeed get me to do something violent, but likely nothing worse than a shitty BF3 match could bring about.

 

[moggett88]

Something mentioned in an Achievement Hunter video comes to mind;

Your mother and your girlfriend switch bodies. The only way to switch them back is to have sex with one of them. Which do you pick - mother in girlfriends body, or girlfriend in mothers body?

Mind = nnnnnnnnnnnnnggngngngngggggng nope *dead*.

 

[michael87cn]

Apparently, driving. The simple act of driving a car drives normal human beings absolutely insane. Get behind a wheel? You're suddenly King Shit of the World. Better rev your engine and honk at pedestrians trying to cross the street, can't have you waiting a couple seconds to continue your leisurely ride.

What's that? Someone is DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT?!?!?!!?!? RIDE RIGHT UP ON THEIR ASS AND TRY TO RUN THEM OFF THE ROAD! DOUBLE POINTS IF ITS SOMEONE ON A MOTORCYCLE!

Sorry. Tangent I did go off on.

I don't know what would drive me insane. I don't really want to think about it either. Something pretty darn bad.

 

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

I don't think I've "snapped" exactly. I'm too stubborn for that to actually happen. Though I have been through a process where it was a slow and painful change form the inside out. Almost went serial killer to be honest (Managed to get the right help before I went over that edge though). If i ever did something that would require most people to "snap" I'd probably just be adapt to it fairly well.

 

[karma9308]

Oh it already did. [Maniacal laughing]

About two years ago, after years of putting my life together again, I essentially lost everything I held dear to me. Friends, job, love. Eventually my health went with them, and I used any wealth to get them all back and failed to do it. So I already snapped. I kinda put some screws back in, but a mere breeze is enough to knock them loose. Or you know, a bottle of whiskey.

Edit: I just thought of something that gets me almost every day. Someone going 60 in a 70. GO THE SPEED LIMIT GAHHH.

 

[Flutterguy]

People who expect much, but who are never appreciative when you accomplish or exceed expectation. One small fuck up and they become condescending, aggressive jerkwads. This goes for friends, neighbors, coworkers, family, and of course the aggressive gamers who rage in voice-chat because of the simplest errors.

And the obligatory ones from my genes, like threatening/harming that which I hold important to my well being. Which includes myself, pets, family, and ofcourse.. computer

 

[Foolery]

Kinda already did years ago from being abused as a child. Beyond that, it greatly distresses me when someone intentionally hurts a pet. My cat went missing last year, I still suspect that my terrible neighbor took him somewhere and killed him. Makes me angry.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Not much. I'd say the two most likely events to cause me to snap completely would be the close sighting of an eldritch abomination or dinner with my ex-wife.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Unless it's actually happened to you, I don't know if any of us can actually truthfully answer that.

I'd say that this is likely accurate. It's like asking how far can you run until you drop from exhaustion - until you hit that point, you don't really know.

 

[blue heartless]

If I lost my son.

 

[username sucks]

I guess I have already, seeing that I attempted suicide before. Now I feel lucky that I never actually looked up how to tie a noose properly before I tried. The impulse came on rather sudden, from a buildup of stress from school, trying to find work, family members dying as well as many other family issues... That's what caused my mind to snap. Not a single sudden event. Luckily the knot came undone when I jumped off the chair and I just fell to the ground.

I came back from that state pretty slowly. I hardly remember any events in my life during that time, just feeling pain, anger, and all of that. I remember getting angry and breaking things, but I managed to restrain myself from hurting people, despite them just telling me to "stop fucking around". I also started writing a kind of journal a few weeks before, but when I look back at the first 3 or 4 months after that I just see madness. Pure fucking madness. I actually thought I had inherited some power from those of "infinite universes of the past and future".

I'm back to some semblance of normalcy now, I think. Sorry if I went off on a tangent, but I felt that how my mind snapped was also relevant to the question.
