    All my walls are brick or concrete… If I manage to punch a hole in any of them, I deserve a medal or something.

      I broke my fifth metacarpal punching a brick wall.

      I was just upset that my family didn’t tell me about my grandpa’s funeral and I missed it. I heard through my cousin asking where I was and I freaked out a few hours later when I was in the computer lab. Yes, I’m not great at handling my feelings and I am a man and it’s still stupid.

        Honestly your family not telling you about your grampas funeral seems like a worthy excuse for a complete explosion

    I don’t know any women who have punched a hole in drywall. I know several who have made holes in the drywall by throwing things in anger.

    I was talking to a trans friend about this.

    Apparently men and women seem to feel emotions at the same rate and level. The difference is that, being female (at least hormonally) massively drops your ability to suppress emotions.

    • Both feel equally.

    • Women tend to vent little and often. This leads to better emotional management.

    • Men can suppress for a long time. However, when they blow, it’s like a pressure cooker exploding. This leads to more emergency venting, and poorer management.

    I did know a woman who got a “boxer’s fracture” from punching a wall. Mostly hit the stud though, so drywall was fine. Her brother stopped after breaking his wrist so I guess it was kind of a family tradition.

    I did, once, because the person antagonizing me physically blocked my exit, and I’d rather hurt a wall than a person. But doing it when you can just walk away is…sad. Also, I wouldn’t recommend it, as it hurts like fuck.

    I was living in this total fucking slum, basically rebuilt it a thousand times iver from within while i lived there.

    But my roommates were all guys. There were so many patched bits of drywall. I got really bored and wanted to feel included.

    Because you’re too emotionally attached to your drywall; you weakling.

    I would say, as a guy neither have I…

    But there was this one time when I was 7 I was throwing a tantrum, and I bashed my head into the wall so hard I punched a hole in it

    So, I guess, guilty as charged?
