At the age I'm at now. Yes. At the age I was when I got in the majority of fights no.
Also you don't get in legal trouble if the person you get in a fight with doesn't bitch out and press charges.
The reason I punched doors so much was so that I didn't hit anybody and calmed myself down. But if I'm being attacked I'm going to fight back so being able to fight / fighting isn't a waste of time
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!

Only one did I let my emotions get the better of me and put myself in a fight situation. I was like 16-17 working fast food and dating this chick. There was this HS jock who tried to get my girl to dump me and go out with him, and she turned him down. So this dude comes to my work while I am working and just starts talking mad shit. And I am sitting there taking it because I was working and finally just had enough and said
"Look asshole. I get off in 35 minutes. Lets settle this shit once and for all right there in the parking lot. 35 minutes. and im going to kick the shit out of you."
Now the thing to note here is that my odds of beating this kid was almost zero. He was faster, bigger, stronger, and a longer reach, and pretty much everything. I was a complete idiot for getting myself involved in this fight. Like 2 minutes later I knew I was going to the hospital that night and I was shitting bricks.
So my boss saw the whole thing go down and says "Joel in my office NOW!" and when I get back there I say "Mick... you don't unders.." "stop I dont want to hear it" "but mick" "no... What you did was uncalled for and grounds for immediate termination. If this ever happens again I want you to calmly walk back to the managers office........ punch out, and then go kick the shit out of that asshole!" \m/
Anyways... over the next 35 minutes everyone working there called their friends. And their friends called their friends and those people called their friends... So 35 minutes later I walk out to a crowd of at least 100 people and im like "fuck... bad enough that I am going to the hospital. now I have to do it in front of a crowd?" Anyway.... 10 minutes pass, 20 minutes pass, 30 minutes pass..... This shit didnt show up for the fight that he agreed to and talked me into. )
That instant every single person there gave me mad props. I heard about it for the next two years... It was as if I kicked the shit out of this kid without ever touching him. And I ended up getting new friends out of it... It was pretty awesome.
i've been in more fights than i can count, but none since prolly 2004.
when i was a kid, i was *really* awkward socially. i got kicked out of a preschool because i carved my name into the arm of a girl in my class because i thought that would make her my girlfriend. by the time i was in middle school, they had me in special group counseling for kids with social anxiety and anger issues. of the other 2 kids that were in my group, one is now a convicted sex offender and the other is doing 10 years for robbing a train station
my parents are anti-establishment types that don't think school and social structure are very important. i've never valued schooling, status or money the way most americans do.
i've always been an atheist. i didn't come into it in high school or college like most people.
social anxiety really sucks....just in the last 2-3 years i have developed really bad anxiety....i was at the casino and putting bets on the roulette table for the first time and i could barely do it because my hands were shaking so bad...i think it was cause i felt like i was being watched and there was pressure on me not to mess up...i get extremely nervous every time i meet new people...and i live in a fear of screwing up all the time..it gets so bad that it has made me just not even try and things i should have no problem doing
I think it stems to my childhood and my dads relationship with me...When i was a kid i was never praised or told good job. Every time i was proud of something i did i was always told i could do better and that it wasn't good enough. I was never complimented by either parents and my dad especially cut me down a lot.
It sucks cause its really been fucking with me lately...I lost my job about a month ago and have been getting unemployment. I hate it cause i am always home and have nothing other then video games to occupy my time. It makes me really depresed. I apply at jobs every day and have been called for interviews but have turned them down because for some reason because i think im afraid of going out and experiencing change. But at the same time thats all i really want is to go out and experience new things, but for some reason i can't force myself to do them
I do have to say with age tho i have been able to diagnose these problems i have and learned how to deal with them. Just this spring i was out holding signs for ron paul and passing out flyers....the thought of going up to someone i don't know and trying to spark a conversation all by myself terrified me so i was really proud of myself.
Only real fight I was in was in freshman year this asshole thought it would be funny to out of nowhere shove me into a locker. I didn't even know the guy I ask him what his problem was he said you were in my way. I walk up to him and he says "You won't do shit" and I really wasn't going to until he shoved me again. I fucking raged and starting throwing punches. I don't even think 1/3 of them landed but I got a couple nice shots on him. Then he threw an elbow hit me right in the nose that's when the teachers came in and broke it up. The dick ended getting kicked out the next month for breaking into cars during school. I got suspended for a week. It was a pretty good week that I had off lol.
^ I was pretty quick to fight as a lad.....Thankfully I grew up (sort of) i'm too old to fight with anybody...I just don't get angry to the extent that I use physical force....My years working in the prison system really gave me a different perspective on violence...I've seen shit that will make you lose faith in humanity.....fo realz
in retrospect i wish i got suspended from high school at least once, for one thing its bad ass for seconds i coulda used an extra vacation ... getting suspended really meant dick in the long run as long as it wasnt all the time
