It hurts to inflict physical pain on another. I learned it hard. Just today, my bitter younger brother said something that really annoyed me. I won't get specific, but it involved use of the word "overrated". I just sat still and he walked away. He eventually came back and I pounded him. He was very irritated at me. He said "Violence doesn't solve anything". After a few minutes, I took that personally. There's no point in holding grudges, especially after I seemed so calm. I apologized soon after, and the conflict vanished. We made up well, and I promised never to touch him again, after only 4 minutes!



Have you hurt someone? (Physically or emotionally?) How did you feel? How willing are you to hurt? Do you hurt in self-defense? I really regret hurting my brother. Thanks for your attention.

Well yeah....but for some reason I'm the strong type. But I am not the sort of person to always hit people. I have 2 stories to tell to do with that one. Let me tell you of the first story. Back when I was a little girl and in nursery. I had this boy around my age or a little older bulling me for no reason. There was one day when both of the parents came to the school for something. I can't remember what. The teachers liked me because of how normally am well behaved. So it got to the point it got bad. And my mother told me in my Nigerian language *Eni slap him* I knew what she was saying but parents of the boy  did not and I did just that. I slapped the boy across his cheek so hard that it left a mark there. And I sent him crying to his mother. I'm not going to lie it felt good because I stood up for myself.  

Now for the second one. my brother tends to sometimes annoy me in the most oddest off ways. And since he is strong and withstand attacks no one else can hit him in his body parts because of if they do they will end up hurting themselves. Not for me sadly. I one time slapped him hard on the back. He didn't feel it at first but then did I was really surprised. Anyway I sort of left a mark on his back that day. @.@

It hurts to be the one causing someone's pain, but it also hurts to be the one having the pain. I can't say for sure which hurts worse.

I haven't gotten in a physical fight with anyone, but in the past I got in verbal fights with my brother and sister regularly. Also I have shoved my brother, resulting in him falling, a few times.

One of those times it was just self-defense since he ran up to me and jumped on me to give me a bear hug without warning. Since I have mild Autism and I'm more sensitive to that kind of thing, I immediately panicked and pushed him off the couch. He can be clumsy so he fell and started complaining. I felt bad but I still felt angry at him for not giving me my personal space.

There was another time where I shoved my brother and he fell on the floor, but that time it was because I was babysitting him and he refused to listen to what I told him to do. I learned that day that letting my anger get the best of me escalates the problem and makes me feel extremely guilty afterwards

What do you mean by "to hurt" someone? Physically or emotionally? I'll answer you for both.

Physically, yes, I did. A lot of times actually. Most of them were when I was younger, but the latest one was few months ago when I got in to a fist fight with a bully in the bus. It wasn't serious, no bleeding happened. What happened is that bully kept mocking me, and started to punch me, but I punched him back, and eventually we got into a fight. I know violence does not solve anything, but I was defending myself y'know?

Emotionally, well it depends on how sensitive the person is. For most of the cases I 'hurt' someone because of disappointments. Either because I don't improve on something, either I do not follow an advice, either whatever. Sometimes it's the offended person's fault, for expecting too much from me. Very high expectations hurt y'know? That's why I never expect anything from anyone. High expectations always lead to disappointment. If you keep on expecting high you'll never be happy. It's a fact.

I'm a person who means no harm to anyone. I do not mean to offend anyone. I always think before I act. I think a lot of my words before I say something (it's not always easy to find words). I just do what I think is right, and those who liked it will like it and those who didn't will not. I will not be liked by everyone in life (it's another fact). If 99% of the people hate me, I 100% don't care. In life many will hate you for very stupid reasons, or for no reason at all. What do you do? Be yourself, and ignore the haters. You'll get the right people, believe me.

Heh, heh, heh. I gave a kid a black eye once. I wasn't going around beating people up, but this was one time where this little brat needed it. I won't his actual name, but let's call him Carl, very simple name. Anyways, my dad was friends with his dad, and so we would go to this guy's place a lot. Carl was his son and he constantly did things to irritate me. We would try to play games and he would mend the rules to his liking, Like lying to me about certain things in Yu-Gi-Oh. So at one point, we lost our house due to a bad flood. (Granted, it was a trailer, so it most likely came up out of the ground as easily as picking a flower.) And we had nowhere to go but this kid's house. THEE final day we were there, (Since we JUST found a place and moved in) I was watching tv, and Carl comes in and turns the channel to my little sister's liking. He then tells her that if I were to change the channel, to go get him. I POLITELY asked her if I may change the channel, and she went and got him. He didn't get up from the bed he was playing video games on, but she still got him. She told him what I did and then I lost it. I didn't scream, I didn't cry, but I could feel the rage. I could feel everything rushing to my fist. I didn't even have to aim for anything, I caught him just above the right eye. And then later I find out that he had a "goose egg" on his eye. (Or basically, a lump on his eye from where I hit him.) But believe me, I would've done it all over again if I could.

Yes, both physically and emotionally, man. I'll clarify that now.

Physically, I've only hurt people if they truly piss me off and it's actually really hard to REALLY piss me off so that hasn't happened very often. Emotionally however I feel like I've done it plenty of times. Do I regret it? Absolutely, but I know there's no changing the past. I think I've been hurt emotionally equally as much as I have done emotional pain unto others. What goes around comes back around, I guess.

Physically, I've been in quite a few fights, so yea. The one I'll always remember standing out was when a friend of mine (more like drug-buddy in retrospect) wanted to fight me over something I never did, but was believing the crap other people were saying about me. He ended up sucker punching me out of a chair when I was looking the other direction. I had to sprawl out on my knees as he came at me to keep swinging, so I picked him up from around his knees, and pulled them out from under him so the back of his head slammed into the concrete driveway. I hopped over him, holding my hand over his throat with the other fist ready to come down on him and just asked "Are you done?" Luckily I didn't have to take it any further than that, but looking back I should've just smashed his face in anyway. It's not like he has many teeth left at this point regardless XD

As for emotionally, I've hurt quite a few people, none of which I'm proud of. I've had to break up with a few exes, which I always felt terrible about. I never did them wrong or anything, at least when they didn't do it to me first, but it still sucks to break someone's heart. I've also done my family wrong on countless occasions through lying and stealing, as well as abusing drugs for so many years. Even as a kid I would hurt my parents from time to time, doing things like running away and the like (I actually ran away too. It wasn't like those "I ran away and came back later that day" kind of thing. I had to find a place to sleep outside more than a handful of times lol). I actually met my one girlfriend this way, since her and her family let me stay with them for about a week, not realizing I wasn't homeless and had ran away from home. I had known her previously for a short while, so it's not like I was a complete stranger or anything. My parents stopped being nearly as strict after that incident, seeing as how I came home voluntarily instead of being picked up by the police or anything and not having a choice (yes, there were missing posters and the whole nine yards for me at this point). I was what you would call a "trouble child" for sure, and this trend lasted up until about my mid-twenties, right before I returned to the site lol.

I have hurt a lot of people. I doubt there is much point in telling you anything in detail but lets just say there are people out there with all kinds of scars of my doing.

What I wanted to say is that the older I have gotten, the worse I feel. When I was younger I did not care so much, I did not even consider the people I hurt that much as real people. Now I feel bad even for the people who deserved what was coming to them and I try to avoid confrontations of any kind since it all just makes me sad. If you can avoid violence, please do, since it is never worth it. If you have to protect yourself, ofcource it is different but still its a sad and sorry fact that your life lead to that point.

The only time I physically hurt someone was one time my brother hit me in the head with a scooter, and punched him back. The sad part is, I got punished and they didnt say a single word to him. Luckily I didn't have a concussion and no memory loss. Wait what was I talking about again?


Emotionally, I think I've hurt someone way too many times. Whether it be cold, sarcastic replies to something they said or not acting like I cared about someone. I've never really emotionally hurt a family member, it's more the other way around. Online, I feel like I haven't hurt many people's feelings, probably because I can convey my feelings better through typing. I have been getting better in real life though, so that's good.

I do not hurt anyone basically. But many people do hurt me when they are harsh or differentiate racially...or when people do not accept me as friends on forums.

I have hurt people physically and emotionally.
To be fair, The physical pain is kind of expected as I do TaeKwanDo.
As for the emotional pain, It's because I'm not a very good person. I try but... I end up making it worse.

As an adult,I have been fortunate enough to not hurt anyone physically. Mentally or emotionally,I have done it. There are times I am not a decent person or reasonable. When I was I child,I lived by a simple code that I still live by. Do me no harm and I shall do the same. Harm me and I will do anything to make you regret it. I have hurt others and while I do not regret it,I regret I had to hurt them.
