Staying Calm Around Rude People While on Gear

[AnabolicAmp]

One thing nobody really prepares you for when you’re enhanced is how much easier it is to get triggered by stupid behavior. Rude people, disrespect, slick comments things you might normally brush off suddenly feel way more personal. Not because you’re weak, but because hormones can shorten the temper.

I’ve had to learn that not every reaction deserves a response. When gear is in the mix, reacting off emotion is usually the wrong move. The key for me has been creating a pause. Take a breath. Walk away. Give it a minute before saying anything. Most situations lose their power once you don’t feed them.

I also remind myself that staying calm is a form of control. Losing your cool gives someone else power over you, and that’s never worth it. The gym helps, but I don’t use it as an excuse to carry aggression everywhere. Training is where intensity belongs. Real life requires restraint.

Being enhanced doesn’t give you a pass to act reckless. It puts more responsibility on you to stay level headed. Strength isn’t snapping back it’s knowing you could, and choosing not to.

How do you handle disrespect or rude people while on gear without letting it escalate? What keeps you calm when emotions are running hotter than usual?

On or off gear I’m pretty confrontational.. if I have something to say I’ll say it and I don’t care how it sounds or comes off to anybody when it happens. If it pissed me off I’m ganna show u it pissed me off… if it made me sad I will voice it… the gear literally plays zero roll in how I react to a situation and for me if thats what a person is trying to get out me that’s fine with me. They can continue to poke that bear and end up in a situation they are not prepared for pretty fast. that’s just me. I wasn’t always taught to stand up for ur self and your beliefs, I may voice mine a little more aggressively on or off gear but that’s just my way of showing people I don’t like what there saying or doing.

I feel you you on that , I've always been confrontational as well but I've been trying to practice having more patience and not letting things bother me but can't lie sometimes it just gets me

I'm extremely confrontational, but gear doesn't make it any worse. The only time I need to be aware of it is when on stupid low cals and taking Halo. lol

For some reason nobody fucks with me.
And if someone is getting on my nerves I'll tell them to STFU.
And they do.

Hell yeah that's how it should be

 

[jfurman]

Not sure if it’s the TRT or just over shit at my age. I left all my groceries at the U scan register and walked out because it wouldn’t take my payment. And of course, nobody around to help

I would have done the same thing

 

[Startingover]

Always been q hot head. Driving is a huge ignitor for me. .
I've turned 95 into a parking lot on a few occasions.
Gear or no gear...
Assholes are another ignitor!! Lol
Older I've become more in control I am period..
Like stated above,if you react to an action ur out of control..
Always told my kids don't let anyone control your emotions..
Easier said than done though..

Same here. My girl always tells me Im to aggressive with people, because how I react to people when they say do or say stupid shit.

 

[Halfi]

I’m noticing a pattern that we have all agreed on the same problem of being confrontational however none of us seem to have the antidote to control it

You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves for being so confrontational. I myself pride myself on restraint.

Btw all bullshitting aside I love all you guys and your outlook on what scumbags that most people are. Just a word of caution. From someone who might have a few nasty experiences in this category. Just be careful. I’m all about standing up and not taking shit. Just be mindful who you fuck with.

I’ve told the stories here before. They are real and people just plain suck. If you end up having an issue with a guy walk away. Too many happy to sue people in the world. Normally I’m like @Bolan. I have a look. Nose is fucked up, ears are cauliflowered. 10” scar across my head and face. Nobody fucks with me normally but every so often there’s one or two assholes that are feeling like badasses.

There has not been one time I’ve been attacked or had to defend myself with a total stranger where I was starting it and I didn’t end up being the one in jail or like last year sued for 250k because I beat the brakes off a dude with a ball bat.

Carry around a consent form. Someone wants to be an asshole have them sign it and then fuck them up. lol

I’ll just add for those that have never been. Jail sucks. Sucks even worse when you’re sitting in there for doing the right thing. Walk the fuck away. PEDs have zero to do with that decision.

Probably cause you’re big as a house. Might have just a little something to do with it. Lol

I aint scared of him. Yeah, he be tellin' me to STFU, and I do. But when he gone, I be talkin' again.

My Ex-wife use to tell me her co-workers were afraid of me....
Its fucked up because Im probably the nicest gear head there is.

Trust me... I get the heckler all the time yelling "STEROIDS" at me.

I just laugh and know they go home, look in the mirror and wish
they had the dedication to go to the gym.

1st ya describe yourself as Jason.
Then ya want them to sign a consent form...lmbo

Lol

Pretty sure it depends on the setting but regardless it’s still a binding contract. If two guys agree and sign a contract not to sue then find a gym and fuck their day up. I think Texas and a few other states have a mutual combat laws too.

 

[Startingover]

I like it!!

 

[ruffus]

I don't go off on people on or off gear. Self control is something i can control. I don't expect much from people in general. I find expectations lead to disappointments. I figure others have their opinions just like i do mine. If i want mine to be accepted then i need to start by accepting others they way they are. On the inside i am often laughing at others and just remind myself that i don't have to be them or let them control me by reacting to them . I just do what is in my best interest.

Right? Maturity/self control/true strength

 

[dcdogz]

I have zero Confrontation in me. Doesn't seem to affect me one way or the other as far I've seen..yet.

Then again I expect very little of people to begin with.

Don't usually feel like wasting my time or breath.

Show respect and give grace — if they don’t reciprocate or continue to disrespect after a warning, fuck em.

Perfect example from this past week. Had a tire blow out. Pulled into a parking lot. Late to work. Rushing to get the donut on and reading the manual for how to get the stupid wheel lock off. Make eye contact with a sales guy walking over to
me and purposefully turn my back to him to indicate I’m not interested. As I’m jacking the car up, he approaches me and says “hey dude you train?” He’s wearing a shirt for a BJJ gym nearby. I say “hey man, I’m really in the middle of something not a good time”. He doubles down and says “cmon let’s talk” and tries to shove a business card in my face.

I exhaled and stepped up to him, got in his face, and said “please, fuck off. I’m late to work, I’m putting my spare on, and you can’t take a hint. Please, please please fuck off”. He thought about doing something lol I could see it in his eyes, but he proceeded to just turn around and walk away. I’m towering over this mfer holding a tire iron.

After I make it clear I’m not interested and someone continues to be pushy, I just cannot comprehend what they are trying to accomplish. Even if I had been interested in what they were selling, the second you become pushy and don’t take the hint, I’m not buying anything from you or continuing to have conversation.

I’ll give you the chance. Sometimes multiple chances. But disrespect me, and it’s game over. I don’t care if I get my ass beat. I don’t care if I’m on gear or off gear. I will not tolerate it.

I agree but there are certain situations that kinda shit just doesn’t apply in real life.

 

[Bigjape34]

For me I’m still confrontational in the sense
I’ll speak my mind or tell how I really feel
Or what I think. I used to take it to the next level a lot and let it get physical but I got to a point where the pattern of Asshokes wanting to take it there and than getting there asses whooped was costing me an arm and a leg in legal fees going to jail etc . It’s just not worth it anymore, now I just say how I feel and if someone really wants to take it to the next level I just plainly tell em to rethink this cause im truly not the one they wanna dk this with haha. Does it work most kd the time
Others it doesn’t and they usually find out the hard way. Now with that being said im
Not the best fighter or the toughest I’ve taken my fair share of ass shopping’s not track record is most definitely in my favor
