Discussion The inability to get angry and violent. the ability to get violent is genetic

[Lonesome Bright]

I do not know about you but when ever someone yell at me I start to get frightened and freeze. I think this is due to the fact that my father used to yell at me a lot as a child. Then again my brother received the same treatment and has the opposite affect he cant get very angry and even frightens me even though he is 10 years younger than myself. Let me know what you guys think

It's more about how you were raised. My father taught me never to let anyone walk over me and to use even violence if I feel it is necessary and also taught me how important it is for men to be strong and tough because otherwise people will take advantage of you so I grew up being pretty assertive and generally uncompromising.

I've seen a study which said that certain neurotransmitters and amino acids make you more prone to anger and violence.

For example when I was taking methionine I was a lot angrier overall and ended up getting into a shouting match with a gypsy.

Gaba, histidine and methionine make you more aggressive. I'm not necessarily suggesting anyone to take those.

Also when I was taking tramadol frequently, maybe because of the SNRI effect, I started demanding higher pay from my boss because I was just so angry.
