Any tips that can magically transform The Neutral Observer from a tightly-wound, foul-tempered asshole into a person that is laid-back and pleasurable to be around?
Or if not magically transform, help alleviate the assholishness. Poll added. |

Triburst1 rather enjoys The_Neutral_Observer's use of the third person.
So much so, that he himself uses third person when posting in The_Neutral_Observer's threads. |

Drink, fuck, wank, Nyquil, peyote, mescaline, shrooms, and the old standby, the icky sticky.

The poster 95thFoot is in compete agreement with this idea. He finds the constant harping in a distant voice not that of the poster disingenuous, presumptuous, and downright arrogant, something which nobody, including the Neutral_Observer, nor the poster 95thFoot, would ever wish to seem to be. The poster 95thFoot also recommends that The_Neutral_Observer take up a leisure time activity to balance the time and energy consumed here at AR15.com. In the view of the poster 95thFoot, this will make The_Neutral_Observer a more balanced, and therefore happier, individual. |

Take a roadtrip.
Go shooting. Grow a beard. Stop worrying about everything. Look at the big picture. Get off the internet for a week. See how it goes. |

The JarheadChiro believes that The Neutral Observer embark on more foolish type adventures with collegues as per "moth release" in said type public movie emporium.
That had the JarheadChiro's pants wet. Semper Fi |

+1 on "stick with 3rd person", the BlammO says. Room for one on the board, there is. Copycats be banned, they should.
Roadtrip, BlammO agrees. Sex, BlammO voted; long lasting not, though. |

Da_Bunny thinks The_Neutral_Observer shouldn't talk in the third person.

zoom does the same.z |

The BlammO thinks that he'll adopt that practice in The Neutral Observer' threads. |

In case you are serious about this:
1. Your body has a physical reaction when you start feeling angry and are about to act like an asshole. Usually this is a tightening of the muscles, increased focus of vision, slow, shallow breathing, clenching of fists. 2. Recognize these signs when you go into situations known to be stressful or that will make you angry. This takes practice to become second nature. 3. Once you can recognize the signs, tell yourself to STOP. That is it. Just stop. 4. Once stopped, tell yourself to calm down, count, breath deep, whatever it takes. Check your body to see if it is calm. 5. Once your body is calm think about the situation you are in and what actions you can take. Ask yourself if your response is reasonable, how it will make other people around you feel, and whether it will get you what you really want. 6. Make a reasoned decision on how you are going to act and then act accordingly. It may sound like a lot, and it does take practice, but once learned you can often go through the whole process in a few seconds and it will make like much easier for those around you. If you're not serious, f- it, the world needs assholes too. |

Hey foul-tempered assholes are welcome here. In fact I will be one for a few days. Fucking Frenchman really got to me at work today and I couldn't kill him. I couldn't even infer he didn't have a set, that the last Frenchman with a set died at Waterloo,.
I didn't even get to tell him that I thought the women in his family made their fortunes servicing Germans in the Franco-Prussian War, WW1 and WW2, then I was going to apologize and say how nasty that was and unture. They obviously did it free. |

I think Persephone just topped my list of favorite female members. Now where's that damn thread again! |

Duffy likes the 3rd person style, especially with The Neutral Observer's screen name.

+1 That one had lokt laughing his ass off. Seriously, the more The_Neutral_Observer feels himself getting angry- tense, muscles tightened, jaw clenched, and totally fucking steamed enough to scream at someone (like hearing chewing noises does to lokt), STOP! that's all there is to it. realize there is nothing short of The_Neutral_Observer's safety or that of his family that is worth that kind of attention. |
