trigger ...

had some free-time today, so i spent a bit of time just enjoying the air, glad to spend some time outdoors. was with an acquaintance (met through mental health stuff) which i guess i have an odd relation with, kinda "friends" in one way but we tend to clash on the other hand, we're really opposites.

i don't even remember how it started but he called me kiddo, which i detest and he knows i detest being called that, so i told him to not say that politely, figuring he probably forgot. then laughing, he calls me "pretty boy". angry now i lose my temper a bit and told him to shut it (few too many choice words...) and then he snickers at me

"at least i didn't **** my dad"

and now i'm holding a bloody icepack to my face

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! idiot!!!! GRRRRR!!!!!!! angry Phoenix looking for Griffe's Friend? to pick him up fly up and drop him from a very great height!!!! grrrr!

I guess maybe he was taking his problems out on you - pushing your buttons to get the response he wanted - maybe he wanted to take his anger out on someone and you were just handy

Im sorry he was a complete A-hole! I hope you are ok

OMG!!!!! i would never believe someone could be this insensitive. i know it is bad for me to think this, but i am kind of glad you gave it to him.

like peg said - one 'friend' you certainly don't need.

I am sorry that you got triggered Griffe. Any ideas what you can do next time to stop the automatic responses after being triggered? You can also understand this trigger and defuse it. The first step would be understanding why this upset you so.

is there any way you can avoid him in the future? or is he someone you have to keep in contact with (like, at work or something)?

you have every right to be angry, griffe. like P7 said, it looks like he just wanted an excuse to start a fight or something, take his anger out on someone.

you could always press charges, i think, if that was something you wanted to pursue. i know if someone assaulted me, and left me with injuries i was still dealing with the next day, that i would most certainly not want to let it go lightly.

Griffe, I am only saying this to help you avoid problems in the future. This ^ is not how it started. You wrote that it started when he called you "kiddo". You got triggered with that. Understanding why "kiddo" and others names triggers you would be where to start working on this.

The guy was clearly wrong assaulting you and like the others said this is a crime. Focusing on his teasing will not help you in the future. Focusing on your response to teasing will help you quite a lot, however.

Someone can call me all the names they want. I am in charge of my responses to this. I realize that this is difficult for you but it can be something that you can work towards.
