what do you do to stay stoic...?

hi folks, a few scenarios here. in order to avoid trouble, you must stay stoic but it may be hard.

1: you get pulled over, cop speaks to you very rudely, implying racist remarks. calls you names.
2: gf breaks up with you. calls you names. tells you she cheated on you many times.
3: you meet an aggressive driver. driver flips you off. tailgates you. intimidate you with his 3 ton truck.

all 3 scenarios you must stay stoic. if you tell the cop off, he would make up charges and arrest you. if you lose control with the cheating gf, she can make up lies saying you hit her. Or, if you go head to head with the truck driver in your car, you can't win.

so guys, how do you control your anger and just let it go? if you swallow all the anger, some people think it's not healthy because eventually you can snap. but if you just let your anger out without any control, it's just as bad.

what would you do?

LOL!!! ^^

heres a lesson...if you lose your cool, youre only making the other more powerful haha

1. wouldnt bother me. whatever, i can care less...
2. ehhh i doubt id lose my cool over that, its too hurtful. just get her out of my life i guess...and casually treat her like shit if i saw her
3. id smoke the truck driver and leave him in the dust, just another walk in the park

those scenarios are fictional. i'm asking about how you would control your anger if you were in those situations.

Stoic - One who is seemingly indifferent to or unaffected by joy, grief, pleasure, or pain.


OP - your question relates to staying calm no?

I think if you were pulled over while high and the cop already has the tendency to harass you, you will not be calm. Can't you two think of any other solution besides smoking marijuana? OP when I get really pissed off, I compare myself to my brother who openly gets angry/physical very easily. I think about how I don't want to grow up like him, possibly beating wife/children due to anger problems. So when i am calming myself it isn't I need to fucking chill the fuck out. It is, for the sake of my future and my children I need to teach myself to be calm now, so I learn to be calm in the future. It's all about the mindset. However, from personal experience when I am pulled over for a cop, i'm already willing to bend over backwards and so far it has worked in my favor.

"Son, are you retarded? You need a front license plate in the commonwealth of Virginia"

"Yes sir, I am very retarded sir, I will get on that as soon as possible sir (this isn't in a sarcastic tone or anything)

"Haha, well do you have any crazy infractions or citations I should know about?

"No, sir, I am a safe driver"

"Alright well have a nice day"

Happened yesterday at the airport

i've been pulled over high. i just pretended my eyes were watering which made them red lol.

you just need a more relaxed attitude. that doesn't mean bend over and take it like a girl, it just means be more whatever in those situations.

i'm not a confrontational guy. if someone tries arguing or debating i just say i don't care or whatever.
