Do you use threats of violence to make you feel better than the person with whom you are speaking, or ?

Question

to get your own way?

why?

does it make you smarter?

does it make you feel more superior?

i think it just shows what is lacking...........intelligence and self love!

agree/disagree?

your views?

Answer 1

Yes, but one more thing, fear is a means to control others and eventually it becomes the ruthless persons MO rather than a warning. In some extreme situations police promise to use violent force to those that endanger the safety for others on contingents whereas bullies use threats or violence to extort or slave the will of an other to his or her own.

'The ways in which our lives intermesh are terribly complex and very frustrating to the theorist. But ignoring them is to ignore something vitally important about our development and our personalities.

Answer 2

I live in peace.  I also know how to keep myself happy.  Love honey

Answer 3

Oh no, I don't agree with doing that.  It does show an underlying weakness, certainly.  Well, actually, I get a little (shh, don't tell anyone) road upset (not "rage") and once in a great while (honestly, not that often), will tell them to kiss my culo.  I don't usually get that stressed but it's been known to happen, I'm sad to say, especially when they almost kill me because they want to get someplace 3 seconds faster.

Answer 4

I don't behave this way and you might find it difficult to get one who "does" live like this to answer.  They would be "forced" to confront their own blame and those who cherish down-playing others to make themselves more inflated are simply not going to admit to it.  

Answer 5

Never!

I don't need to say or act in a particular way to feel better than the person I'm with.. I agree, that would be lacking intelligence.. And what purposes would these threats serve? Violence is as lacking intelligence as profanities :)
