How easily can you get over something?

[TheTygerfire]

Usually if someone was an asshole, argued against me, or did something that made me upset or angry, I just ride it out. I don't make any mention that it ever happened and try to stay out of situations that I would be subject to in-depth interaction with said person. It varies how long it takes me depending on who and what did it, but I do get over it eventually, and 90% of the time the other party has as well and things are peaceful

On the other hand, if that person does something to me again, the imaginary timer in my head winds back and the whole process starts over.


So, how about you guys? Do you have different way of getting over it, or do you just never get over things?

I rarely have something so severe happen that it dictates not talking to them or avoiding them for any extended period of time. Usually, it's a few minutes of clearing my head, and moving on. Sometimes all I have to do is tell another person about it, and that helps, too. I, like you, generally just steer clear of more conflict if possible, though.

Alot of times I will think of things that I should have said after the fact, and I have a tendency to replay the scenario in my head over and over, but I usually move on after a day.

God I hate that feeling >_< Like "Oh if I'd said that, he'd of shut up right then!"

I can usually laugh off most stuff, because I most likely be instigating by the time it is over.

I just say:

"Oh yeah?!! well the jerk store called, and they are running out of you!"

at that point the police officer tells me to step out the vehicle, and we book a date 3 weeks down the line.

But in all seriousness, I am horrible for not letting things go, I argue for the sake of arguing. Thats just who I am, and I always enjoy arguing, but I do let it get out of hand more often than not.

Eh, if it's something personal I'll fight you to the very end about it. If it's just some guy being a jerk I'll tell him to fuck off. But I'll always be their for my buddies in their time of neeed. My favorite moment was when I jammed a few of my keys through a guys cheek to help out an old friend of mine.

I don't matter. You don't matter. Why can't we be friends?

Nihilistic thoughts can get you over anything.

 

[Baneat]

I have a tendency to play these things over and over in my head too, but changing the variables to see what kinds of results I would get.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Usually takes at least a day. Sometimes things can have a major hindrance on my sleep.

 

[Ultrajoe]

I tend to get over things immediately. If they are a friend then I dont mind and if not, then I can simply overlook the event because i hardly expected otherwise from them. Other things can make me seethe for days, but people not so much.

Sometimes I regret what I say, because I dont miss the opportunity for cutting statements. Bieng able to say the right thing at the right time doesn't mean you will make the right choices. It's one thing to seethe that you had no response, it's another to lose a friend because your response was better left unsaid.

But that passes quickly. Letting go of regret is something you have to either learn fast or learn hard, no matter who you are. I'd like to think i'm capable of it, but not always.

 

[Jaythulhu]

I generally don't get worked up about things, unless it's December. There are a few select topics that can raise my ire, but once I've voiced my displeasure or my opinion on the subject, I'm over it and looking for the next experience.

 

[Irridium]

It takes a lot to really piss me off.

mostly I just ignore said person or whatever was arguing against me.


but if I get into it I say what I came to say and leave. I don't like arguing, especially on the internet.

Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win, your still retarded.

 

[EchetusXe]

I never forgive or forget until they are destroyed. Even then I won't forgive or forget, I'll just be pleased.

2 individuals are in that position.

Some people just deserve death and the second they do that thing they become less than dirt to you, if you see what I mean.

If someone else did that thing then you might be able to forgive and forget, but some peoples lack of worth makes it impossible to do so. It just can't be done.

I guess you could forgive someone who kills your child if you can in some way sympathise with their view, but if you just can't then you just can't and it won't happen.

I guess its healthier to forgive and all be friends but sometimes that just doesn't happen. I am tolerant anyway, try to avoid offending people if at all possible, even on the internet.

 

[Jeronus]

I try to forget but my mind will auto recall the bad memory and all the anger and hatred I felt will return for awhile. At that point, I have to go into a state of meditation or risk massive severe headaches.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I would ldt the person insult or beat on me as much as they want. Then in a couple years they suddenly go missing. Thats how i deal with things. Danny never heard me coming. Oh well. I also sometimes hurt people... bad and in every way imaginable. (physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, etc.)
