Non-aggressive behavior - is it worth it?

[moeburn]

Recently in my life, I've tried straying away from arguments and fights. For a while, I've believed that "trying to be friends" is better than "trying to be the boss". I've stood by this belief for quite a few months now.

However, I seem to be getting walked on by the people who are "trying to be the boss". Despite the fact that I remain calm and friendly in person, in my head I scream and pull out a knife.

I'm wondering, whats the healthiest way to deal with situations where someone tries to boss you around, who really shouldn't be?

dont be agressive, but dont be a whimp either. you have to stand for yourself and not let anyone think they can be anything over you.

I mostly let people know that I don't appreciate the way they're acting or talking by being silent and looking at them a certain way. The people I hang around know that I don't like to resort to violence, but if the situation calls, I'm down to kick someone's ass. I don't cause shit, and people respect me by not causing shit upon me as well. Being violent and shitty to people doesn't pay off. You make enemies and by engaging in fights and things of that nature, you're risking sending yourself to jail and to me going to jail isn't worth anything, so I just be a friendly individual and smoke my herb.

Tell them to fuck off. Some people need reality checks. Don't be afraid to dish them out.

Modern's got a point

I've been doing the same thing

it has its benefits and its downfalls

lately more downfalls

i'm just taking my days one at a time but soon enough I know I'll get sick of it, I already am

[Binzhoubum]

Haha...if you are truly correct in any given situation.

You shouldn't have any problems. :smokin:

I don't like to be violent if it's not necessary. I'm a fairly peaceful person, unless the situation calls for it.

On the other hand, if someone is fucking with me and threatening me, or being really aggressive, then you can count on me to throw the first punch and try to knock them unconscious before they can fucking touch me. I been fucked with too many times and I know that it's best to knock someone out with a couple blows as opposed to standing there talking shit, trying to act tough. If you're trying to fuck with me and you think you have any wit, then let's see you outwit me when you're spitting teeth and wondering where it came from.

besides, there's nothing like bringing an arrogant fuckwad down to size. if someone threatens to kick my ass, they better make damned sure they can do it before i fucking knock them unconscious and take some of their teeth too. I'll take them out in mid-sentence. Becuase you know, i've been in quite a few fights, i've lost quite a few of them because i've tried to be a nice pacifist. in the end you learn that it doesn't work, and sometimes you just have to let the fucker have it as hard as you can dish it out to them, lest they try it again!

and i must admit, it feels really good to beat the life bloody shit out of a person who is really pissing you off and who has it coming. I mean REALLY good.

so if you're getting fucked with, then I think you should just punch the fucker as many times in the face as you can, using maximum force. make damned sure they don't mess with you ever again. make sure they don't even think about it. make sure they piss their pants in fear when they hear your name. hell yes!

i realized fighting had no point in like 6th grade when everyone started thinking they were tough guys cause they had freinds that were going to help them beat you up. but i dont like fighting anyway i like to be relaxed so i try and stay that way. but when the situation calls for it i can take care of buiessness. and when i do people realize to just leave me alone.

being nice is good, has its upsides... but so does being an asshole... women are generally more interested in the badass assholes who act like their not intersted, and they get all hurt and hate men because all the badass wanted was sex... now tell me that aint ironic... woman likes asshole... asshole hurts woman... woman then hates all men because of asshole, lol :dance:

note to women: if ya dont wanna get hurt by a man, dont go for the asshole :thumbsup: some of us are actually decent guys

anyways gettin a bit off topic there lol

just be yourself, if telling someone to go fuck themselves is what u feel like doing, then do it, if not.. then dont, simple as that!

Peace (is for me) :rasta:

i actually am currently dating a very beautiful woman who doesn't seem to be interested in the badass type, because i'm a very calm and peaceful guy.
