    That’s a male emotion. Imagine a woman that angry, or rather “hysteric” as it’s called in that case

    Somehow as an American society we have labeled anger as “not an emotion”. This has not been to our benefit.

      Men are largely taught by society negative emotions like sadness, frustration, hurt, etc. are unacceptable to display - except via anger. Anger can act as a mask or a wall between you and your truer, deeper emotions, sometimes at least. Also, anger is absolutely an emotion, I haven’t heard that disputed, but it doesn’t equal flying into a fit of rage and screaming/throwing shit.

      Yes, it’s strange to me how “emotional” came to mean essentially all the “feminine” ways of losing one’s composure but not the “masculine” ones.

    I have a neighbour like that, I think. I’ve been living in the same place for years but a few months ago I started hearing someone yelling through the walls/floors. At first I thought it was a couple arguing because I kept hearing "“FUCK YOOOOU FUCK YOOOU FUCK” and “HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?”

    Then the same thing again a few minutes later. Maybe he was watching sports.

    But he also yells the same things randomly. Sometimes at 2AM, sometimes at 2PM. Sometimes a few times in a row, sometimes just once. So I think he’s probably playing video games and just can’t help himself.

      …this hits weird, 'cause I have a guy like this in my neighbourhood, but I know it’s not sports or vidya. Guy’s just on the thinnest of psychological threads. Which is a shame, he’s a pretty nice dude.

      Coupled with your account being from lemmy.ca, I thought “Man I know who they’re talking about” before remembering Canada is really big and has about 41 million people in it.

        Sorry to hear about that person’s psychological state.

        Odds about living nearby are low but sometimes the world can be pretty small. Let’s see. I’m in a high rise near PdA in Montreal, 7th floor, so the person I can hear yelling is probably on the 6th or 8th floor.

          Lol, I creeped your post history - we’re close-ish, but not that close (I’m in Ottawa).

          Same here, hoping things look up for my screaming guy. Yours as well (in that his sports team does better/he gits gud, I guess).

      This. My brother is an unhinged psycho when watching his sports teams do poorly. They only person who can stand to be in the same room with him while he watches football is his son who is just used to it.

    This is why my incoming is always at 0. I don’t want to hear little kids thinking they are pro or fuckin man child screaming cause he thinks he’s pro at the game.

    Silence is golden and I don’t give a fuck off it’s a team fps. You can type your shit if you wanna talk shit.
