Well, there does seem to be some pressure building.
First the OP announced he has IBS...and now a Mod is calling for the two angriest members to join in (whoever they are).
Has Your Personality Progressed or Digressed Over Time?

That's one, wondering if I could guess number two... I wondered about that the other day as well. He's lurking, that's for sure. I hope he finds his way here...
As far back as I can remember, if I walked into a room, who do I want to set next to and have fun? The guy who is a great listener, thoughtful, considerate, smiles and nods…. Or, the asshole who makes fun of everyone?
I’ll set next to the asshole, every time, and have a great time. Nice warm souls full of compassion bore the shit out of me.
So I finally know why you hung out with me in Birmingham a few times. Awesome!
You'd better trademark that shit quick, that's gold ?
Wear it like a badge of honor…. But wait, you contacted me, so maybe I’m the…. Ha ha
Not to overgeneralize, but when your're young you're less able to think about how your actions will come to define the future and thus fist fights and temper loosing. Later, you realize that when you're on a trip to the beach for a much sought after vacation, getting angry at being cut off in traffic or cussed at for wearing a mask are both easily ignored. Plus, you never know whose carrying a gun.
I've read some of the posts where the poster is concerned that things are changing and it is not in a good way. However, for some things are moving in a positive way. Our world cannot just be going my way and everyone cannot think like me.
Last week a old man in a new pick up rolled up behind me at a red light. He wanted me to turn right on red, but cars were approaching. He blew his horn, then laid on his horn. When the light turned green I pulled out. He continued to blow the horn, tried to cut me off, and stuck his hand out the window and provided a "Hollywood Howdy? The thought I had was what happened for this person that caused him to allow himself to be so angry? I mean, was his $80k truck not enough? My other thought was to stay as far away as possible because the goal was to retire in a month and not have a interaction with that person.

We should follow your example. Thank you. That man sounds angry.
Now I'm more aware of the planet I live. Most importantlt, get awayfrom toxic people. Now I'm more observer in the environment around me. I don't like fake people. In summary, I walk more carefully for life, and to act in positive as a citizen...............This seems like a sweet speech of Ursula von der Leyen..............?
I think being mature is not being afraid to speak about your emotions.
I'm sorry about that, man. But, if you'd have just gotten out of my way... ha ha. No, most people down here know that blowing your horn is a huge act of aggression. When I visit Chicago or Arizona, I'm always surprised at how loosely people will use their horn, especially out West. I think they teach their kids to use the horn as a blinker, ha ha.
Yeh... maybe... if by emotions you mean feelings... like I feel hungry or tired, then yeh, ha ha.
I'm trying to imagine all of my pipe club buddies all setting around talking about our emotions... Heck, I don't even know enough about emotions to make a joke. Damn clouds!!! Damn kids!!! Ehhh, I got nothing.
Or like I am anxious, scared, afraid of the future, my finances, or a serious loss. Whether we have them, others do. Bravo and being a jerk can just be an attempt to mask undealt with emotions. We all have them whether we admit them or not. And, it is nice to be around people to can afford a little kindness.I'm sorry about that, man. But, if you'd have just gotten out of my way... ha ha.

I work for a hospice agency and thus see so much emotional pain. Most of it was avoidable, but men especially are immature emotionally or made to think sucking it up is healthy.

Thank you for speaking about how you feel about it.
Or, maybe people who are jerks are just actually people dealing with their emotions in their own unique ways, and people who label them as jerks are actually making them angry, and these people express that anger, which is a valid emotion... Maybe the problem isn't the jerks who are dealing with emotions in their own natural way, but everyone else who has a problem with the jerks... my head hurts now.
"Stop being angry, and come over here and feel something else." Phhht... this is probably why old men think a lot about punching people in the face.
