29, male
have to choose daily between lashing out at people or internalizing frustration and eventually becoming unhinged.
how do i care less? about what people say or think. or how do i manage my internal stress in a way that wont make me feel crazy?
im into games and movies and the only person i like talking to is my girlfriend. talking to anyone else makes me want to pull my hair out.
what the fuck is wrong with me

You're a girlfriend guy is what's wrong with you.

You didn't hone your aggression into assertiveness. Put the effort to extract whatever lessons you can from those memories, and get real granular. Were you in the wrong? Was another person? Are you in position of knowledge or ignorance, and does your approach fit that? What's the smallest concession you can make or request to relieve the tension? Roleplay those situations with her.

I tend to lose interest at points of conflict and just try to get to the end of my shift or the end of the conversation. But later, all the sudden it comes up when it shouldn't matter that much.
Here's the real issue. In all the times of my life that I remember trying to be assertive, I either come off too weak/polite and get trampled, or I lose my shit and raise my voice. Which also makes me feel like a nut.
I want to be assertive and calm without flying off the deep end or worrying too much about coming off like a dick.

Your sexual market value is too low.
Lifting is the most basic way to increase it, but only a start. If you're fat then you also need to stop being fat, which lifting alone will not take care of. If you're REALLY fat then just diet first, as dieting will improve your ability to exercise later on.

Yeah, I said that already in fewer words. Toothlessness isn't an asset. Instead of thinking what's polite. think of what's productive. Failing to address the friction isn't a moral high ground.

That's good advice. Thanks.
I'll just have to start being assertive.
