we all have them what are\is your defense mechanism(s) I have 3, cynicism, humour, and minutiae..... whenever something starts getting out of my control I'll make a joke, be cynical, or begin to notice minutiae now these aren't exclusivly defense mechanisms, I also use humour nearly constantly in my day to day life because I enjoy it, I also have a streak of cynicism and do basicly notice minutiae, but whenever I'm uncomfortable, these all go into overdrive
well i guess its playing guitar...whenever im around a bunch of people im very uncomfertable around, or trying to ask me something i dont wanna answer, i just play and if they talk to me, i just say "sorry, playing...". Works well for me
I swing my arms around windmill-style and jerk my head while biting the air. It has worked effectively every time.
knowledge and wits. i use my knowledge to outwit people who are ignorant on a subject. for instance there is this one airhead who cares about nothing more than looks and drinking (she's an 18 year old alcoholic! she comes to school hung over EVERY SINGLE DAY) and also thinks that bush is the greatest president ever. she never wins an argument/debate
i just say "fuck off" when someone starts with me. it could be why people think i'm a bitch, but oh well. Sarcasm and simply backing down are 2nd and 3rd on the list.
Kirk, you make me sound like some kind of trecky. But yeh what one, i'd asssume kurt cobain, i didn't find anything laughable about chavez.
I guess humor would be mine.... whenever Im uncomfortable I laugh... and it usually makes everyone else around me uncomfortable because they dont know why Im laughing..
In order from least to most frequent: Regression (resulting in mood swings, child-like weeping spells and/or inappropriate laughter) Denial (Mainly through intensive daydreaming/dismissal of reality) Nihilism (Basically, this ---> !?!?!?!?!!!?!?!) That's what I've been told, anyway.
