Just lol @ not reacting to people who insult you

[Bojack]

I have been reading a lot of philosophy posts from dudes on facebook who say, "don't let people control your emotions." Or they say other shit like, "people can say what they want, but you have control over how you feel." Like bro are you telling me to just stand there while some dude just talks mad shit on you left and right? Is there some sort of morale righteousness to letting people walk all over you. I think whoever made that shit up really has a masochistic fetish of letting people run them over or something. Like literally; you are going to have a visceral response emotionally/physically when someone insults you. You can ignore them, but your subconscious will pickup on that shit, since it records everything you see, touch or feel. What you should do is literally obliterate anyone who challenges you, like some machiavellian shit or something.

Of course; I should take my own advice blah blah. Usually I just do nothing, which I guess keeps me alive.

Depends tbh, if it’s verbal then I am not gonna act on it cuz I don’t really see that as demeaning or threatening compared to the bullying in this forum. If it’s physical then you should always defend and prioritise to kill the other.

Well, obviously you don't go nuts off of every insult. But you can't let someone fuck with you. You gotta pushback at some point. Even jesus knocked out a dude somewhere in the bible, or punched some dude I think.

jfl u missed the whole point.

if the guy talking shit to you is literally retarded (like sub 100 iq) would u still feel bad? id just laugh tbh.

and in my experience most people who resort to verbal abuse are deeply insecure and/or retarded - so i just pity them and move on. like nigga if u really get so riled up by words you're a literal pussy. or they're trying to be funny in front of others, in which case yes id roast them back. thankfully people dont really talk shit to my god tier frame.

the only times ive resorted to violence was if these people were close to me in some way - and its because thats when it truly hurts. i couldn't give less of a fuck if some random nobody tries to talk smack jfl and u shouldnt either.

i had this manlet who always tried to talk shit to me during soccer. i just ignored him every time and he looked hella pathetic to everyone else.

No, I get the point. I used to study this shit all the time. The whole point of not reacting is showing you are the bigger person, and not letting them fuck with your vibe/mood/setpoint etc etc. But realistically have you ever seen anyone do this? Literally everyone I ever met took revenge on me instantly for anything I did. I've never seen any of this mercy/kindness. For anyone who really does this shit, it's just a survival mechanism. They're just too scared to do anything, like a user above pointed out.

You're telling me when someone insults you, you feel nothing? When they manipulate you, fuck with your mind? You're telling me in that situation you'd just stand down and meditate or something. Come on bro, if someone fucks with you you're gonna feel it. No matter how much damn emotional mastery shit you did, it's gonna get to you eventually. You might as well smash on a fucker as hard as you can when they do some chit. Trust me dude, you don't want to practice this peace and forgiveness shit irl. You just look dumb af and get smashed on. The real winners beat the fuck out their enemies in minecraft of course.

bro ive been in 2 fights my whole life and each time i knew i could kill the mf. if i feed my anger i cant really control it and i dont like that.

both these fights were with a close friend who was making fun of some secrets i had shared with him in front of others. that shit got to me.

other times - if its a flatmate being a dick or a guy at the gym or a guy playing soccer - i really just try to walk away because i dont want blood on my hands. im not the type of guy who can just fight back verbally, im always going to get physical if i feed my anger. so in my case walking away is always the better option - yes, it's probably a survival mechanism, but its not because im afraid of getting beat.

i dont care how others view it - altho no one sees the jacked 6'3 dude walking away from a napoleon complex 5'9 dude as a sign of weakness btw.

you're looking at things too primally - i dont think we are simply the products of evolution. unlike other animals we are self-aware and capable up more advanced thinking. so it doesn't make sense to just react like you're an animal being threatened.

side note since u brought up meditation - i did that shit for a good few years before my family fucked up my mental. i can tell u meditation is the only way forward and im hoping to return to it one day. looksmaxxing is a step on the journey as i procrastinate finding an ltr.

The more emotionally reactive you are to something the higher status/value you see it.

Imagine a little kid insults you. If you get really riled up at this and want to attack them then you’re not in the right place hormonally.
