Do you have a dark side?

Question

Datboi65 · Accepted Answer

A lot of my takes trigger a lot of people on this website, so I've already gotten used to be perceived as "the bad guy" by those who do not agree with my views. However, those who know me in real life would describe me as an honest and helpful person. I think integrity is important to me, and I am not someone to break my word.

As much as I try to do good, I have a lot of flaws. I used to struggle with anger management as a kid and in my early teenage years, and I got in a lot of physical altercations as a result. That inner rage is still there, but I've learned how to control it for the most part. In the rare times that someone can get me over the threshold, I might say or do somethings I regret, and even though it takes a lot more to get me angry now than back then, I'm not proud of some of the things I did in the heat of the moment. The way I deal with it usually is I let the other person know that they are pissing me off in the calmest way possible, and I try to make the understand the reason for it, so that when I do eventually get angry, they know exactly why (throw repetitive behavior despite many warnings). I'm not the person who just ignores it for a while and then all of a sudden goes insane with everyone wondering why and how.

I believe that everyone has a "dark side" to them, but there are different levels to it. There are people who are less reactionary than others, and then there are people who are extremely violent and get angry over the slightest things. Those are the one's you really need to stay away from. Then there are those who will let that anger build up until it explodes, and I would say this is probably the most dangerous out of all, because this is usually how school shootings happen.

As far as anger management goes, I've found out that for me at least, finding a distraction when I'm angry works. I try to read a book or listen to some music and not think about it, maybe even order takeout and watch a show. That's definitely a lot better than punching someone's face in. Recently I've been using the gym to take that anger out more, and I have hit new PRs. I find it kinda therapeutic in a way. I don't advise everyone to do this, because your blood pressure is higher when you're angry, and you might risk internal bleeding if you pop a vessel doing a heavy set with elevated BP.

Hopefully that answers it.

Yes, I do have a dark side.

And I do believe, that everyone has a dark side. Because, if not, then you are the God himself. God and The Devil are exact opposite representations of the same energy.

We, the humans play between the two extreme points. And hence we comprise both the dark and bright sides. Only the difference is in how we show them on our faces or through our behavior.

Some people are very suspicious looking but are not, and some people are not at all suspicious but can turn out to be serial murderers. Simple.

I think what most people characterize as a dark side, occurs when a threat is made. This can be a threat of bodily harm or a threat that would change the course of their life dramatically in a negative way. And I’m certain that I have a Darkside that would be called upon if a horrible planned event occurred with the intent to hurt my children or family.

Releasing or uncovering one’s dark side would likely result in the individual not bring concerned about the repercussions of their actions

Well yes, everyone who has been taken advantage of, abused, attacked or worse ends up having a dark side for revenge.

This is why people who are too nice and get taken advantage of, eventually end up being not nice and somewhat evil if they let it go on too long.

Haha yes. I read an article "Dark triad personality traits are related to specific types of humor, study finds" and laughed because I DO enjoy it when someone says the opposite of what he/she means and expects that insiders will understand it and outsiders won’t.

nniceguyfrofunn14 · Answer

Yes I do. I have a very sexual perverted side that none of my friends or family know about. I find myself very turned on when i let others see me naked on my webcam and they watch me masturbate and tell me how small my cock and balls are. This gets me really hard and then i beg them to tell me to cum and eat it. I found a website called Chaturbate that I am now addicted to and cam daily for hours sometimes!

Unfortunately. I have the ability to be very manipulative and anger usually permits me to get shit done. This is not the man I want to be, I prefer to be honest and tolerant at the very least because it's a challenge.
