Anger is something men constantly have to deal with. It is common for men to express their anger. This may be good for the average man, but not for us Don Juans’.

Something I’ve noticed with a few members is that they get angry rather quickly and rather defensive, neither trait is good to have. Right now you may be thinking, “So what? What does this have to do with me? I’m not angry or defensive.” Well if this is the case listen up, because, what I am going to tell you will carry over to many aspects of your life and can improve your game.

My math teacher had a discussion about anger and insults; he said “You can only be offended if you want to be offended.” This may be a rather unusual thought, “I don’t want to be insulted, people just do it.” But when I thought about this more I realized that this is very true.

When someone is emotionally shallow, they will take insults like the truth, and ignore every compliment because they don’t believe it’s true. A person who is emotionally stable will ignore every insult because they know that they not true so it doesn’t matter what others may think, and take every compliment knowing they were already true.

When someone insults you and you become angry or insulted, you are showing how shallow you are. You are proving to them that you feel weak and less than them, this gives them a feeling of comfort. The best way to counteract this is by not being insulted, simple as it sounds, it is the best way, and if you fail to give them this comfort they will move onto someone who will.

A good way to deal with an insult is to brush it off. "Brush it off, what do you mean?" Well you have two choices there; either make the person look stupid, or just make a comment showing your lack of concern." Making the person look stupid is very easy to do, but not as succesful, it sometimes just adds and i wouldn't recomend doing it.

For example, when i was out with some people at school, someone from a public school said "I hear that (school name) sucks." Well I had to agree because I didn't like my school that much. Then as we were leaving he said, "I hear the people at (school name) are fags." Well I may not like the school, but I wasn't gonna let him get satisfaction from this so I said, "Well have fun working at a gas station while we're in college." This made him pretty pissed off, but he couldn't do anything.

The second way to deal with it is to show them you could care less. When someone says something that used to piss you off, you smile lightly, look at the person, and say "Alright dude, whatever you say." This is a very good statement to use, and when used repetedly still maintains its quality. It shows how you just dont care what they think about you, because you know the truth.

A generic insult is “You’re a Fag”. Many men get deeply hurt by this because they are insecure about themselves. Being the Don Juan you are, you ignore it because you know the ladies love you, and you give them the lovin’. Nothing anyone says about you can ever bring you down, because you are a Don Juan.

We Don Juans’ are the best there is, we know how to treat a lady, but still be a man. We are not jerks, and we are not AFC’s. We are the crème de la crème, the cream of the crop, or the best of the best. Nothing anyone can say can bring us down because we are the better man.

Vincent that was a very good post.

So if someone insults me then I can brush it off and act like I don't care.

If someone insults me in front of a whole bunch of people, I usually dont get offended, but I DO get mad because I am being disrespected in front of alot of people and I am expected to do something about it.

Lets say someone insults me in front of a whole bunch of people. Being a DJ, or just being a popular person in high school I am supposed to be assertive and supposed to not take sh*t from no one right? But if I brush it off, that means I TOOK the insult and just let it happen and the person who insulted me got no consequences. In other words, I was passive. Which will 1) lead him to do it again until I DO get mad, or if not give up, 2) lead everyone around me to think that I am a pvssy because I just took sh*t from someone and gave him no consequences.

If people think I am a pvssy, they will then start treating me with less respect because they know I won't do anything about it. Once people lose respect, and people start taking advantage of me I will have to demand respect and if a person doesn't respect me I will have to punch their lights out to earn my respect back. Its not good for other people to see me getting disrespected.

Whatever I am saying could all be wrong because I have never actually tried brushing it off. But I live in Miami, and the whole gangsta and being hard image is in full effect over here, and people are more willing to use physical agression to get what they want. That way people will give you respect because they are afraid of you and the girls will go crazy over you because they like a strong man who can defend himself and stand up for himself.

I usually always end up fighting the person who insulted me because I am passive agressive. I let it slide the first time, and I get pissed but don't do anything about it, and then it leads them to do it more, until I end up blowing up and beating the persons ass down.

Next time someone insults me I will try to brush it off and see what happens. If I get good results Ill use that strategy all the time. If I don't get good results, well...... I guess its back to fighting for respect.

No one will think your a pvssy for not fighting, unless you are already in a fight with someone. Whenever you think your a pvssy for fighting, remember your the better man for not. A fight doesn't prove anything to anyone, they're fun to watch, but other than that serve no purpose.

What do you mean, so your saying if I do fight the person then I am a pvssy?

HOW?

I was about to fight yesterday.

I was about to fight this kid who has been calling me names and disrespecting me a few times in the past 2 weeks. I wouldn't care if he disrespected me while we were alone but that simply is never the case. When the bell rings to get out of school this kid screams out disrespecting words across the courtyard so that the 30 of my classmates and other people outside could hear it.

He screams out "that kid Boricua is a b1tch!" or "Boricua is gay!" I dont take these things personal on any level but it still pisses me off because its just blatant DISRESPECT!

He not only calls me names, but he just blatantly disrespects me and tries to put me down when we are in a conversation in front of other people.

I am not a clown and I don't like to be put down in front of other people so they can all watch and think "hmmm, boricua is his b1tch because he disses him and he doesn't doesn't do anything about it, therefore he has more power than boricua!"

He doesn't hate me, he just thinks he has more power than me.

He doesn't do it to anyone else either. Unless he thinks he has more power than the person.

Whatever.

So yesterday when he was walking with his freinds and I was in front of him he said "that kid Boricua is a b1tch!" he said it out loud so I can hear him. I stopped and went up to him and got up all in his grill, looked him in the eye with a fierce look, and clenched my fist ready to knock his lights out. Right then I said to him "listen Im tired of you disrespecting me, I wont take no more of this sh*t! its disrespect! Say sorry!"..........."but I was just jokeing (thats what they all say)"........." yea right say sorry mutherfuker".......... "DUDE! MY BAD MAN"....."alrite"

I held my look a little longer and then I walked away.

I should have also said "disrespect me again alone or in front of anybody and see what happens" to warn him but I completely forgot about the warning. But if he does it again I'll have to knock him out.

Its not good to be seen taking disrespect and not doing anything about it.

He is not the only person that has done this to me, and I have gotten into many fights with people that disrespect me like that.

They think they have more power and try to flaunt it by putting other people down.

And I can't take that sh*t!

How should I deal with these types of people?

Vinc, vinc, vinc, why didn't you just hit the damn center on the head and be over with in a few short sentances?
What you say is true, but only partialy. You left out the big biggie, which is the most important.
We all experience anger, which is a pointer of our own self unconfidence. And that is the whole point. Anger rears it's ugly head when we have touched, or were touched by, something we are afraid of. And that is what we should work on. Not brushing away and fighting anger when it starts up, but treat what causes it, it's source.
I have been there myself, and i'm far from being done with it. You need a lot of self observing but it is worth it. The good thing here is, that sometimes you don't really need to fight the anger source much, sometimes it is enough to just speak to yourself aloud what is the real deal, with what you are afraid of.
But not always of course. With shyt that has been clogging you up for a lot of time, you need more then just admiting to yourself that you are insecure.
But the fact remains: anger is a sign of a mental wound, which can be cured.

to boricua and titus.

If you think releasing anger is a way to combat anger, then thats your thought, i can't change your mind, However, from my experience and the things i've seen in others, fighting someone solves nothing, and only brings on more hostilities and anger, disrespect or not its still stupid.

Titus, i'm kind of confused about what you are saying. I take it you feel that anger is caused by insecurities, and the way to fix it is to fix its own insecurites. If this is the case then i agree, however, you're never going to fix your insecurities if you are constantly being insulted by things people say, you need to become a better man, and ignore the source, because anger can only come out if you let it. Prove you are better than it and just ignore insults, because if you do this, they can't affect you.

Bull-FRIGGIN-shyt!
What you wrote is exatcly the bull's eye of all what you are doing wrong to get rid of you anger!

Originally posted by Vincent if you are constantly being insulted by things people say
Yes, you are. But if it hurts you, that is what you chose yourself. You'll see why in the next paragraph.

Originally posted by Vincent you need to become a better man
BULL-motherfyckin-FRIGGIN-SHYT! You DON'T need to become a better man! That is what this site is pounding in your head and that exactc fact is EXATCLY what is keepin your uncertainity wound open and what is making you hurt and angry!

Originally posted by Vincent ignore the source, because anger can only come out if you let it
Well, try. But i'm telling you, the anger won't go away that easy. It's like running all the time and cursing because you are sweating. "I want to stop sweating! Gimme something to stop sweating before i go nuts!" Well, stop running and competing and you will.

Originally posted by Vincent Prove you are better than it and just ignore insults, because if you do this, they can't affect you.
Yes, and i'm the Queen Mary of Scotts. I'm telling you. As long as you are trying to be better, you are exposing yourself to being compared to the competition, which brings stress, uncerainity and anger with it.
If that is your goal, the wound (anger, frustration, uncertainity) will stop hurting only when you shut out it's source -trying to be better then someone else.

It depends. If the insult kicks me somewhere it doesn't hurt anymore, in something i have already made amends with, i don't even notice it, because i don't even feel the need to.
On the other hand, if someone punches me in a place i am uncertain about... well, then again, it depends... fortuonatly, i have a very strong sense of self awareness, the fact that i let that anger in myself, and that it is all only my own fault, which usualy makes it go away quite fast, even thou it is VERY tempting to dwell on it instead...
Again, i am fortunate that i have gone throu a lot of insults as a child and that makes it easier to deal with them now.

Example

This thread is incredibly relevant to an experience I had last night.
So I was in the car with an aquaintance from highschool and a few friends. I haven't seen him for a few years but he has hung out with my friends a bit recently . But yeah, This guy is nuts. I know he had mental problems in highschool -I think scizophrenia. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's on medication but he still is one of the most eccentric people I know. He fluctuates between extreme niceness and extreme aggresivenss (he'll just start screaming in the car about random stuff).
So he took a couple shots at me last night. Nothing big, but definetly annoying. Although I did get a couple back at him. Anyway, what he actually did was not as big of deal as what I thought he might say or do. That got me thinking to how I would deal with him. I'm really not one to fight so that is out of the question, plus he's 6'5 and pretty bulky. What I did do was basically ignore his comments with an attitude like "who are you to try to annoy me?." But there was still anger inside and I'm not sure its good to act like everythings fine when your kind of pissed.

Yep, me too..
A month ago I had an argument with my mom and step-father.
I got so angry that I hit a table three times as hard as I could with my index fingers knuckle. I think it fractured a bit and even now it hurts a little if you press it.

So next time, I take your advice and try to view my actions as an outsider and practise little anger management.
Cheers bro!
keep ut the good work!

All I have to say is that if you are being insulted, fighting is probably not the best idea.

I say this not because of the direct consequences, such as going to jail, getting disciplined at shcool, etc., but I say it because of how fighting makes me feel after the fact.

When someone has very seriously insulted me, and I proceed to kick their F*CKING @$$, it feels wonderful at the time. It is an incredible rush to release all of the anger that they have caused by insulting me on the very source of those insults.

However, after all is said and done, I feel terrible. I am disappointed in myself because of my lack of self-control and willpower. In a sense, I have given in to the insulter because I have shown that I let their insults affect me very deeply. Even if I kicked the crap out of them, I still feel as though I have lost a larger, more important, though somewhat abstract fight.

And that is why I would recommend that if someone insults you so badly that you could murder them, try your damndest not to.
