How violent can you get?

Yeah, it wouldn't make so much sense to throw anything you can pick when you are angry. Though we humans, are very prone to temper hype and become so wild and violent if I may say, but we can also choose to be calm and talk things out. A matter of stress and temperament management. I am glad to hear such an improvement from you my friend, it's a great achievement, and well it's God's grace that you are calm now. :) How are you by the way? Got your galaxy? or you chose the ipad2?

I honestly don't know how to answer this question, as my morals and emotions conflict on many levels. Morally I think it is wrong to hurt and cause pain to someone else, unless of course they are attempting to harm you first. I am not a fighter, I am a lover and proud of such a fact. I do, however, suffer from depression and anger issues which cause me to have various mood swings from time to time. The most violent I have ever been to date would have to be attacking an ex friend in elementary school who jumped me with his friends. I pinned him to the ground and began hitting him repeatedly, although this was the release of years of anger buildup so it was inevitable. I have an interesting, and often disturbing mind, yet my morals always seem to hold me back. So I guess my answer to this question would be that I don't want to personally ever find out how violent I could really become.

Hi toniganzon, People are different in their bearings and temperaments. One who could kill a person getting violent is the extreme. I often get irritated and angry on varied occasions. Have slapped my employee too hard. But beyond that I have not gone. Actually I have control on myself. If I am involved in a verbal tussle I would not give in so easily.

I'm not typically violent... but I can be when it comes to protecting my child or some other helpless person/being or my own personal space. I'd been abused in the past enough that anyone who wasn't my daughter got punched if they came into what I call my personal bubble... which I consider to be an arm's length in either direction.

I can't imagine myself throwing things when I'm angry. I just shout, or just close my eyes, breathe deeply and then listen to some music, though I always want to be alone when I'm angry, because if you try to talk to me, you'll hear a lot of hurtful words so it's better to leave me alone. I heard about the news about Ethel, and I can't believe she would try to burn down the whole unit! I mean how crazy is that!

I suppose too much suppressed anger can lead to violence. I do not believe I have ever allowed myself to be so angry that I physically hurt anyone and or broken anything. I do remember as a child being so mocked by so many in my grammar school that one day I could not take it and shoved someone, but that is as far as it has gone with me, lol.. Guess at the time I was more afraid of the beating at home if I had dared beat anyone up, even if it was to protect myself.

I don't know why, but I've been able to control my temper ever since I was a kid. It was how I was brought up probably. The only time I become a bit violent is when I get physically hurt. Someone punches me, I punch back harder :)

I was fired 2 times now because of being violent. Both times was because of having an issue with a co-worker.

Thankfully not to the point to physical violence. At least not as of late. There have been a time or two many years ago where I have nearly lost everything and felt sorely tempted to beat a person to a pulp, even though it was likely that either I would come off the worse or they would end up getting the better end. Let's just say that the situation can get ugly for me to think something like that and leave it at that. Now I have given a lot of people a good yelling when they have done something really bad. To the point where I am sure that fists were going to start swinging, so they tensed up. However, beyond that point, I think that they have really gotten to the point to say the very least. Still it can be scarier to get yelled at sometimes then to get a beating to say the very least. At least in my experience.

Oh, when I was a teenager, I would hit my dad with a baseball bat if I had the courage. Many times, I could just explode if I want to (although this may not be considered violence). Also, if I have courage, I would say any insult to anyone. I know I'm not the only one.

As human beings it is quite normal to express our pent up emotions in a very physical way. There are times when we control our anger towards something that our child had done. Sometimes we can be the victims of another person's whim that makes us so mad. I have this personality that I will just keep it all in me. Then it burst beyond my control. I often hit something that won't hit me back:). I saw in a TV episode this restaurant that offers you to buy plates to crash on the walls to vent out your frustration. Anyways, If properly channeled we release our enrage emotions without causing harm to others.

Whew. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Of course I'm getting better at it too but I definitely get upset and throw things or have a bad conversation on the phone and throw it. I don't try to be violent but I get upset the most when someone let me speak or some one isn't taking my point of view seriously. What has mad me calm down is the end result when I have to replace something that I broke because I was upset at the moment and now the moment is far over and I feel alot better. Its seem that your spouse knows what will press your buttons and make you boil over the top so I try to avoid the arguments with my boyfriend which I haven't been able to do so much lately. Other people in public make me upset when they are having a bad day and they bring the energy around you and or try to take it out on you. One time I got really upset with a cashier and a woman in line behind me and had violent thoughts. My total run up to $5.05 and I asked the woman in line behind me if she had five cent I could bum, True enough I did have $5 dollar bill and a $20 dollar bill but I didn't want to break the twenty for five cent and have loose bills and loose change on top of that I just figure the woman behind me would understand and be courtesy enough to give me five cent if she had it. I would have if I was her and she was me. She got upset that I asked her for the petty change and I understood because I did have it so I gave the cashier my 20 and she gave me back too much change. I could have been an A hole and walked out the store and let her register come up short at the end of her shift. But instead I told her that she didn't give me the correct change back. She thought I was saying that she didn't give me enough when I was saying she gave me too much. She screwed her face up with an attitude, So before I can say aloud that she gave me too much the woman behind me was like well you were borrowing change and you didn't even need it. So I turned around and snapped on her and was like this is the south and we are generous and carry southern hospitality I don't know where your from but I advise you too go back there. Then I gave her 5 cent Then I turned and snapped on the cashier who's face was still twisted and was like if you were paying attention to what was going on you would know that you gave me too much money and slammed the change that was extra on the counter, snatched up my bag and stomped out saying. I can't win for losing you try to do the right thing and people still treat you like you wrong. I seen the shame on both of their faces and I proceeded with my day. Even though I behaved one way in the store in my mind if I could of had it my way with out getting arrested I would have stepped all the way up in the woman's behind me face so that our chest were touching and been screaming so hard in her face she would have gotten a spit shower then I would have turned around and threw the Change at the cashiers chest and stormed out knocking over a rack or snack on my way out. Which I actually have in that store when another cashier made me upset not as upset but upset enough to knock over the doughnuts when I walked out. It had been numerous of occasions when I have gotten violent with someone or something and I know that its not healthy I havent really behaved that way lately I feel more mature and prone to let things go
