Mad or sad?

I've recently noticed that there are two kinds of peoples' responses when it comes to getting yelled at or made to feel bad or humiliated.

Some people get really sad, want to cry, and seem to need a hug really badly.
Others get really angry and fight back, even through tears of uncontrollable anger.

What kind of a person are you? If someone you loved or cared about were to make you feel badly (whether intentional or not), how would you react? Would you get sad, or would you get mad?

Personally, I am the latter. But then, my response to mostly everything is ANGER and RAGE. It's a cold day in hell when I actually cry because I am sad, or that I need a hug. But some people see it sometimes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then it's on to the next thing.

I wonder if it's related to the fact that I'm a more introverted kind of person.

Thats actually a little sobering in itself. I am the same exact way, but in the opposite direction.

I get really pissed at levels that frighten most onlookers - but as soon as I "sober up," as you put it, I let it go, and I move on. I do this with most angering interactions between myself and others - only because it's the only way I know how to deal with it.

That doesn't mean I never forget what was said/done to me, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Your teachers, your co-workers, your friends and family members?

Believe me. Some people deserve to be yelled at and/or humiliated. I have no qualms about doing it myself if I have to. When you fail to do something you said you would do or agreed to, you deserve it. =/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nigga yells at me, nigga gon get smacked.

So yeah, I guess "mad" is my answer.

Ahaha, yea. Mad. ^_^

I yell at a LOT of people. Especially when they're fucking stupid. My lab partner in robotics, for example. I think he's afraid of me now. He fucked up our robot by re-writing the basic commands and thus removing all the work we had done.

We had a sumo match in 30 minutes. I had to rewrite all the goddamned codes and re-write the master program with no help from him, because of his immaturity.

I understand when people want to play with robots - but work before play, assholes. He fucked me over, put me in a really hard spot, and I had to score a good grade with what I had.

You're telling me that DOESN'T warrant a good screaming at or two?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I usually just let it roll off my back.

Actually it was more about the people that you care about. Not a perfect stranger, or even a boss.

If the woman you loved yelled at you, would your initial response be anger or sadness.

Its a different scenario when its about someone YOU care about.

I was speaking idiomatically.
