Do you start fights at work or school?

[Melanie717]

Do you find yourself doing this because you have other stuff going on at home, and then you take it out on coworkers, or even classmates.
Have you ever picked a fight with someone because you were already carrying around stress, or a problem you couldn’t solve, and it felt like an outlet for you to get some of those emotions out? On another person?

(I rarely do this, but a lot of times they say the office bully or school bully usually have others stressors at home, fueling their behavior.)

I have never started a fight at school of workplace myself, I don't vent out my anger on other person. Generally speaking, I am understanding, I listen to other people, but when someone starts misinterpreting me or starts bullying me, I cannot stop myself. That's why I have been into fights at school and workplace a couple of times.

I have not started a fight per say at work. But I have transferred aggression from home to colleagues. And I always feel very terrible thereafter when I am completely calm . It gets worse when I transfer the aggression to junior colleagues. They would just feel inadequate for no fault of theirs. I am trying to control that habit of transferring aggression on people.

Stress can make people lash out, but it's not an excuse to hurt others. Self-awareness matters.

Stress can spill over, but I try to channel frustration into art or writing instead of lashing out at others.
