Just a general question. This is not related to me or anything:XD:

When someone does something that you don't like or they piss you off or they're rude or they insult you or anything negative ...etc.. do you react right then and speak up for yourself? Or do you think it's better to forgive and just walk away and ignore them?

Is it a cowardly thing to do to just let it go? Does it mean you are a weak person?

Do you think that reacting would make it better or worse?

It depends on what it is. Mostly I react or atleast "speak out". I don't just walk away unless it was a silly trivial issue.

I make them wish they never met me in their life.

sometimes reacting makes the issue worst, so its better to walk away.. to not make a moutine out of a sand grane ( i 4got the thingi! hehe )

but if something hurtful is said ... id have to react to it

Most of the time I 'pick my fights'.

Some arguments and some people are just not worth the effort. Sometimes the argument is not worth your energy since nothing good is going to come out of it.

But you DO have to stand your ground on the fundementals of what you believe in and not let anyone push you around with that kind of arm twisting.

Kids are the best at this. They will always find the time when you are most likely too busy or too tired to put up a fight .. and then they will misbehave or ask/do things you'd usually say no to.

It IS the easier way out to ignore.. but you can be sure that one day, you're going to have to face them about it or it will get too big and out of control.

It really depend on the situation and timing but usually i walk away and i don't think walking away makes u a weak person at all.

I would most probably react and say what i have to say back to them then walk away.

I don’t normally react the same time and in public. I’ll have a private talk with that person if he/she was really out of their way.

I am always in control of my self. To me being rude, talking back or causing a seen is for some reason a shameful thing especially when its in a group.

If the person is not worth it, then I normally just walk away and keep my distance to that person.

Actually...i think those who ignore and let go are the complete opposite of weak. they're extremely strong not to be bothered. i truly admire them.

I'm one who enjoys giving strong answers back. Or provoke them with sarcasm. but generally I don't care since i know I wont ever be meeting that member or seeing him/her and this is just a forum. the only thing it changes is my opinion of them.

It depends, if they are saying something bad because they lost their temper, I'll try to calm the situation and get back to a reasonable discussion. If they're just being completely unreasonable I would say so, but in a gentle way. And if they're just being abusive for no reason, then if I can't calm the situation, I'll just excuse myself politely and leave.

I don't think that's the "weak" thing to do. Quite the opposite - I think it takes some inner strength to keep your temper, your manners and your respect for yourself and others around you, when someone else has lost theirs. I'm totally with TTT!

I'm talking about real life of course; forums are different, but I try to act the same way more or less.

But in either case...if it's just a good hot discussion, I like an argument as much as anyone else...no harm in it as long as it's not personal :)

It depends on the People, if s\h are so close to me and if it wasnt silly then i would speak up and tell them. If they are not close, that would be something else lol :D, i cant say how i am going to react ,or if i am going to ignore n walk away or not because it also depends on the situation, what did they do to me exactly.

I like dealing with things on the spot, it might not be a pleasant first reaction but eventually with conversation things could calm down and at least we wont be carrying a grudge or hate with us longer than we should.

If it's my brother I just laugh it off lol. If it's a person I don't know then yeah they're screwed.

Usually if people come up to pick fights with me, I don't really react a lot. I mean, I don't just 'walk away', I tell them they need to reconsider whatever the **** they're trying to do. That usually calms people down once they got that spark a little down or something...I'm usually a very peaceful dude though, only been in a fight like twice in my entire life...Both in grade school :p

It actually depends. Is it words or physical fight ? Most of the time I act directly and settle things out immmediately. Maybe I deserve those insults lol which will make me less hostile :D . I mean it depends.

I react at almost everything, and it's extremely transparent. :no:

Well, it depends on what exactly happened :rolleyes:
I usually ignore these people because they want to make me feel bad, but I won't do what they want, I'll just ignore them and move on..
but sometimes you need to explain to them that what they are doing is wrong!

and that doesn't mean that ur personality is weak :rolleyes: its the opposite - I guess.

i would never just walk away
if someone is insulting me or being disrespectful with me then i wouldnt just walk away .. im gonna do something about it .. and it depends on what that person did
even when its my teachers .. i always have to say something back to them
i just hate it when teachers think just because they are the teachers and your the student it means that they can say whatever they want to you without you doing anything ... its really annoying so i really try controling myself but endup replying to my teacherts in a bad way :p
