Are you a violent person?

Isn't this just the same as this other thread from three days ago?

Thread

Fight, flight or freeze?

What is your natural reaction toward threats or when you sense you are in danger?

Not when you logic takes over but which reaction is automatic to you?

depends on what is being debated.

it's called copy and paste, but same homework.

No sorry, it is called inspirational work.

Also, choosing to fight does not make you a violent person.

Standing your ground instead of running can be admirable.

I'm not violent but my reflexes are. If you touch the back of my neck without me noticing I will 100% hit you but as long as I'm aware someone is around I won't harm them if they bug me

Quote from alexS

Violence is violence after all.

Saying you are a "violent person" is implying that you tend to violence.

Participating in violence because you have to, does not inherently make you violent.

Defending yourself or those around you does not make you violent.

Quote from alexS

So responding to violence with violence is not being violent?

In my opinion, no. Participating in violence does not make you a violent person in general.

I'm not team Will Smith.

But it's possible that one day someone doesn't like a joke that I make and I end meeting some work in progress kind of reaction.

I don’t consider myself to be. In a fight, I will never throw the first punch but will defend myself.

nope

I've been in my fair share of fights as a kid but these days

'tis better to live as a coward than die as a hero...

Hardly, I'm as passive as they get.

I can verbally fight! Not physical though I'm weak
