so here's something funny. and i mean funny weird, not funny ha ha.
as a result of some stuff in my life, i've been talking to somebody about my emotional responses of late. something odd turned up in the talking last night.
far as i can tell, i get much madder if somebody yells at me or insults me than if they hit me. i can see how this came about -- as a martial arts instructor i get hit a lot more often than the other.
my education is in psychology, so i can see how classical conditioning would make this true. it just really surprised me when i realized it.
does anybody else have this skewed reaction? or am i completely off my nut?
