How far is too far?

[Epic Reine]

How much teasing and hazing can one person take before they blow up?

 

Everyday I'm taken one step closer to my breaking point. For the past few weeks, everyone has been walking all over me: my friends, family, and co-workers.

 

The things that I do for people are greatly unappreciated, people continously pick fights with me and tell me to be quiet when I have something to say.

 

I really feel like I'm going to lash out at the next person who starts shit with me. I don't want to resort to violence because 1.) I don't want to physuically hurt my friends and family ans 2.) I don't want to get fired from my job.

 

I'm a pretty thick skinned personbut latley some of the things I've heard about me just aren't funny and really get to me. I can understand petty teasing now and then between friends because that's apart of friendship but the things I hear are something that should be said between bitter enemies and not good friends.

 

I haven't really mentioned this to anyone because I don't want to sound like a whiny 12 year old. I also don't wanna insult people back because I get really mean and really violent and I don't wanna be like an asshole because then I'll be in the wrong.

 

Anybody else have this problem? What would you do?

My advice is simply make new friends. Either that, or curse someone out. It's OK to blow up at people when they cross the line. Do whatever it takes so that you don't end up being a suicidal emo kid.

I'd buy a gun. Or possibly a large knife. Seriously, do it.

If you feel that you are being pushed to the point of an outlash, then you aren't exactly in the wrong. If other people think you are wrong, well fuck them, because they put you in that place in the first place. Most people would say you should just take it and be quiet, but the other side of that coin is that people shouldn't be throwing out insults/pushing buttons/etc in the first place. It's an odd sort of double standard.

 

Violence might create a whole other set of problems, like legal issues if it goes too far, but as far as just being mean-spirited or angry... whatever. Do what you gotta do. Then go drink some tea, take a warm shower, and sleep it off.

1) Get real friends. Friends should only make you feel happy. When that does not happen, these people are not your friends.

 

2) Who in your family is picking fights with you? If it's not your parents, fight back.

 

3) I'm assuming you're young, and thus have a shitty job that you could likely find elsewhere. Do that.

Marvin, I love you man, every since back in the 1000 Thread days, but you aren't exactly the person who should be speaking down on other people's social problems. This is fairly tame stuff on the bell curve that is TSM.
