"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

Not necessarily your own. I personally don't have kids either but I do have to go places where kids are, like.. outside. However kids are just one of many examples. Another being work, yet another super frustrating environment sometimes. How do you stop swearing at work? Hitting people? Lashing out in any way?


While of course actual dysfunctions or chemical imbalances are somewhat examples but like managing anything else you should not put yourself in the situation if you understand you could "lose control".


... maybe work on that. Self control is a skill to be exercised.



Y'all are focusing too much on the kids part. It's the control part that I'm asking about. You think up your own example and I'm sure you know of at least one: "what do you do when you're in a frustrating situation where you aren't allowed or just shouldn't swear?". Or is your life entirely structured around NOT being in those situations? I'd be impressed. The point being playing FFXIV is one of those situations we've ALL put ourselves in. It's known we probably shouldn't swear in anything other than secure interactions between known quantities. Is it really that hard to limit ones self? Is the rest of everyones lives just full of outbursts and structured around never putting themselves in a place they can't do it?

Well simple under breath sware and knowing most the people around me with how they are that they are harming themselves.

Also shopping at night and the places I go for my styles kids arent really in those stores, or they are things I have to custom order. Honestly can avoid them irl completely.

But to answer your question I think of irl in fantasy terms which for the most part keeps me calm plus digging my nails into my arm to remain calm has been a habit since I was 15
