How the fuck do I deal with people who intentionally try to antagonize and anger me? People I can't escape from? People I can give the silent treatment, but keep coming back?
These are mainly family members and people at work. Moving out and finding a new job are not immediate solutions for me. I feel like I'm getting to the tipping point. I can easily punch the living fuck out of these people and kill them, but I don't want to spend my life in prison. Please help me guys.
No, I'm not trying to be edgy. This is a serious problem that's been building up over a few years.

Literally had a talk with my co-worker today about how if i got in a fight recently i'd blackout in rage and kill someone.

All the wise bbers say they have this problem but its not worth it. You can move on. These people cant and they will drag you with them if you let them win.

Fuck, I hate this OP. Over the years I went from 160 to 225lbs. I can deadlift 495lb, and took up boxing. I can easily dominate most of the people in my personal life, but I'm at the same dilemma.
I feel like I can cave in my dad's face ten times over in minutes, fucking hate that faggot. He always bitches and shits on me, but always comes back for my help. There's nothing you can do besides listening to peaceful music, and relaxing.

Maybe you just need to set the boundaries that they don't think exist. Maybe you have to get angry and just say leave me the fuck alone instead of just taking it?
You never really said what you do about it besides avoiding conflict and you can't move out yet.
Maybe you have to say what it feels like to them. Idk, I always avoided conflict if I could.
One of the times I did stand up for myself. My brother called me a piece of shit and a waste of life and a burden to our family. It didn't get physical but I could see it happened then and there. Then he lied about what happened and my parents believed him instead of me. I know it's vague, but it just inspired me to work harder and I've moved out since then.
Do what you can man. Be strong.

Anyone got source on OP. I saw a gallery but it was just thumbnails.

Give into your rage and kill them all.

Adopt a very snarky attitude and start being a smart ass. They'll eventually just stop when you make them feel stupid. Be a master of deflection AND flexion breh

An edgelord such as yourself does not need to try.
Chase Mitchell
Study comedy central roasts and bring up peoples personal lives.
I like to snap and destroy walls infront of work mates every few years so people know not to fuck with me. The problem with that is everyone is a snake behind my back. My strong work ethic counters that though.

Nobody gives a fuck. You shouldn't be browsing Veeky Forums at work anyways. You're never more than a single click away from tranny porn.

The only reason they do it is because they know how much it gets to you. Laugh it and brush it off and don't get too phased by silly insults. Be a man and don't let that kind of stuff get to you and focus on what's important in your life.
But most importantly try focusing on not getting angry so easily. Maybe it's you, not them. Saying shit like you want to punch somebody in the face doesn't make you sound like the most mentally stable individual out there. Seek professional episode if those feelings of anger continue.
Tyler Torres
also OP, just focus on yourself and when u get angry, remember what you want and that people that don't matter to you, that are irritating you, in fact do not matter
Benjamin Johnson
Subtly flirt with them. Male, female, family boss whatever.
This worked for me.
Don't do anything blatant just start with small talk like you would with a qt, maybe some small compliments.
Ultimately this has had different effects on different antagonists. Some of my family and colleagues felt kind of uneasy and now they have stopped their shit and generally leave me alone. Others have totally changed their behaviour towards me, treating me in a positive manner, probably because they get a tiny ego boost from talking to me now.

If there's so many people in your life driving you insane maybe you're the insane one. So do something with yourself, not with others.

It's hard to know who's crazy; me or everyone else.

My unachievable goal is to get so strong i can do this then be unstoppable when the police arrive so eventually the police have to stop sending people to climb the hill of dead officers and try to arrest me
As it goes i make do with enjoying the more respectful reactions i get from peopleas i get bigger

Read 'The Power of Now', it helped me deal with some of the same issues as well as a few others. Good stuff, user, give it a shot. Don't make an identity out of your pain and don't give them permission to dictate your mood or day.
Aaron Hill
Okay. It's going to sound a bit hippy dippy, because it is - but bear with me. Stop expecting other people to be anything other than complete arseholes. EVERYONE is an arsehole. The nice ones just hide it better than most. And the key part of this is accepting that inside, you're just as selfish, hypocritical and full of shit as the next person.
When you do that and stop having unrealistic expectations of people, then they lose their ability to piss you off - don't get me wrong, if someone says something to you shitty, shut them down, you can be as big a cunt to them as they are being to you - but be the bigger man and don't instigate it, just react and shut them the fuck down.
Also, generally realising that their opinions and thoughts only carry weight if you let them helps too. This won't stop you from being hurt necessarily, but this kind of coping strategy protects me from about 99% of the idiots I deal with in my job every day - and the other 1% who REALLY try to wind me up, I manage to bounce back from in a short while rather than stewing over it all day like I did when I was in my teens.
Anyway, rambling post but hope it helps.

How exactly are they trying to antagonize and anger you? What specifically are they doing?
Silent treatment takes time to work and is best used around others. If you're silent they might just think you have shit on your mind, but if you're chatting and friendly with others and then cold and unresponsive to them when they try to engage they will learn much more quickly. That diminishes their social status, which isn't a factor in one-on-one environments.
Don't try to be literally silent and never look at them because then you come off as insecure and low status, they will always feel above you. If you're in a one-on-one environment, stop what you're doing, turn your head or turn directly towards them, look at them, let them talk, have a blank expression, use a direct couple word response("yeah", "no thanks", "uhuh...", "...ok..", "...oh" etc.) and then turn away from them and continue what you want to do. THEN in groups of people overtly ignore them, while they're in the middle of talking to you turn to somebody else and talk to them. Mastering the "what the fuck are you talking about" or "why the fuck are you bothering me with this dumb shit" looks while they're talking is good. Having a small chuckle while shaking your head subtly after they finish talking and turning away is another good one. Increase your conversation with the people you're not ignoring so it's clear you're not just being a depressive anti-social.
The funny thing is that normally this turns them into complete betas who start being overly nice and trying to please you all the time. At this point you now have the upper hand in the relationship and you can try to reset it on your terms if you want. You'll probably just want to keep looking down on them though, if they treated you like shit when you tried to be equals that's probably what they'll do again. You'll also realize that this is how they behaved towards you, except when they wanted to toy with you for their own amusement.

>I can easily punch the living fuck out of these people if you are so obviously stronger then them why not try to intimidate them. if they act like cunts instead of trying to reason or walking away just act like a cunt back. they talk shit? you talk shit harder. make it so they are the ones who try to get physical first. uncivilized people wont respond to civilized behaviour, play the on their level and win.
Charles Cook
Just by reading that I wanted to punch you in the face. If you're trying to be seriously disliked by someone, that stuff would work for sure

This my friend is a traditional sport in Turkey. Oil wrestling is a reflection of turkish people. Greasy, gay and always looking for a fight.
Brayden Peterson
I wouldn't recommend the friendly approach to people causing you shit. Always go for silent treatment and never even acknowledging them. Troublemakers always interpret good nature with you submitting to their dominance. If you try to build bridges they'll very likely attempt to kill you. Let them know they are nothing to you and they will leave you alone.
Bentley Miller
At most you're not showing them any respect which is precisely what OP claims they're doing to him anyway. If someone doesn't respect you, they don't deserve your respect.
Adrian Phillips
Get a life. If you are too busy being you, and doing what you enjoy then you won't be around for these people to ruin it for you.
At work, try to have your superiors witness this antagonism. And politely and calmly tell the nuisance to leave you alone. Then you have established precedent, and can complain to management about these cunts. Unless it is your boss. Then you might be a bit fucked. Good luck with that.
But just busy yourself. And tell others to leave you alone "I'm busy" works pretty well universally.
Jackson Russell
If this is such a common issue for you then maybe you're the problem?
