Fighting mentality on Ascension

Practice or you just have the skills to do it.

But most of the times a simpler direction is sufficient.Just tell them right in the moment that it’s inappropriate to treat you inappropriate

And then the whole, I have to do some revenge story is not even coming up. Instead, you feel great right away in the presence of this person

You gotta learn to choose your battles and judging by your lost, he made fun of the name, not you. So what? Are you so attached to a name that you’d let yourself get that enraged over it?

I’m not asking that sarcastically or in a condescending way, just trying to get you to identify why something like that got you so upset so you can address that reaction and it’s source. To answer our question hell no, fighting and starting quarrels over everything isn’t alpha, hell it’s not even masculine in the first place.

I will say this, identify and defend your personal values but at least know why you cherish said values, why you think they’re worth defending, and how far you’d go to defend them, and enforce your own boundaries as well.

Is there a way you could have made fun of him back, not in a butthurt way but in a teasing way to fire back a bit and give self-awareness? Then the dude may respect you for one standing up for yourself, not losing your cool, and forgiving all at the same time.

There are elegant ways to respond powerfully in life, and they can can be built by reflecting on how you will act if a similar situation comes up again.

Great point man big up , I am self reflecting about it .

True man that anger when I think back was mostly against myself.

Your is very important as it is a way people address you, think of it like your personal brand. So it is quite normal to get offended if he makes fun of it. Just think of it as him not understanding the value and power your name has come to hold but you do. You’ll just laugh over it as it becomes insignificant to you.

This is quite true, subtle verbal violence is an excellent way to assert yourself. Doing so may even turn the situation into a good joke but he will be sure not to try it again.

Although I feel this is just recon but overreacting isn’t good either.

I actually disagree. I really think that that is a healthy response. Feeling angry is okay. It shouldnt be dismissed as recon.

Like I said, ACTING on it wouldve been the issue especially if he got angry and acted on it in that moment.

But in the actual situation, he completely kept his cool, sufficiently disarming the man’s neg simply by neglecting to pay any attention to it.

Agree to disagree :slight_smile:

Also thank you for pointing out my language. Will refrain in future

Yes I like that way of thinking. I always agree and exaggerate when someone tries to mock me. Labels are just labels, we’ll have to drop them anyway when we move on from this veichle.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to prove.

Thank you guys for each and every coment in this topic. I learned a lot and did some self reflection upon them. I realized I need to work on my Stoicism, emotional control and also learn more about /and hopefully master/ social skills and social calibration to the future, mainly because I am starting my bussines and I will be dealing with new peaple more and more so I really would benefit from some social sub to boost it. Many good points was written here. I agree with @Billions that rage is healthy response , but I realized that when little thing like this would make me pissed off for hours /with recon or not/ like @Davisnwc and @Skadoosh pointed , I would probably crumble under difficult and dangerous situations that life can bring and I would react fully instinctive like animal , without using brain to think about consequences or get paralized /fight or flight/. Also I think is better to assert yourself imediately, like @Leandros sayd, it always worked for me and never had any issues with those peaple after I did that, but at the same time work on upper mentioned things with subliminals, meditations, self reflexions and realizations until my inner value is strong more in control and grounded so I can brush little things with smile and not get bothered by them. Journey is long and there is much to learn . I apreciate this subclub comunity .
