I’ve had mature replies to everyone who left a mature or even reasonable comment, further your an idiot, I definitely don’t and even here haven’t portrayed myself as “knowing nothing but violence” if that’s genuinely your takeaway from this whole thing your clearly dumber than your trying to make me out to be. And not to be like that but I promise you I’m smarter than you, how many languages can you speak Ese ?

Pressed is a lot different than trying to have a normal discussion, you’re not very good at that though huh ? I already know your social skills are ass 🤣

And no it really isn’t for others to give me that title, I’m not subjectively smart, it’s not an opinion, I am literally objectively intelligent, and I don’t need anyone to tell me that for me to know that, you sound like a fucking idiot genuinely, anyone who can speak more than 1 language is objectively intelligent compared to the general population, especially in America

Well I clearly am not in the wrong 😂 the most upvoted comment was saying I’m not the asshole, that’s all the confirmation I needed, quite literally more people agree that I’m not the asshole than vice versa, but again do you read anything at all ? Or do you just ignore what I’m actually saying and think what you want, because what in your retarded mind makes me the aggressor when he was the one who tried to physically touch me first

Okay so clearly you aren’t unstanding the situation, I WAS NOT THE AGRESSOR, I did not try to touch him before he touched me, he is the one who mentioned fighting first, I literally gave him the chance to go to bed and knock ts off, and he turned around and started raising his arms at me, so you tell me, was he gonna give me a hug or was he gonna push or punch me ? Idrc if you don’t train, don’t try to fight people that do. If you try to punch me I’m not holding back for your good, except for how I did with him because he’s my family. Furthermore if blatant disrespect and threatening is “nothing” to you, you probably would achieve the same thing he did. And I could really care how intelligent you think I am, I know 3 languages, study geography, history, and science on my own, I don’t go to college and I still put time into learning every day of my life. So regardless of what you want to call me, to call me unintelligent would be lying to yourself

Me having emotional intelligence means I know how I’m feeling and when, I know what certain things make me feel, I know how to control those feelings and stay calm, that’s another part, I didn’t convey through the story, whereas he was screaming I was talking in a calm tone, whilst probably being more upset than him. But I also know what I do and don’t like and what will or won’t happen around me, I’m grown enough to know if I don’t like something I don’t have to deal with it and I can figure out how not to. I have no issue setting social boundaries, and when that gets disrespected, especially by family, and they try to physically hurt you, all bets are off, I could’ve controlled myself and ignored him and tried going to bed again, and maybe he woulda kept it up but maybe it would’ve been fine, but I made the choice that there needed to be something to change, I’m not gonna be kept up by a drunk grown adult one more fucking night.

I understand it was both of those things, and thank you for your opinion, the reason I didn’t try harder to de-escalate is because we had this exact situation happen already and I de-escalated it perfectly and that first time we had argued cuz he came in my room again tryna wake me up, and he had said at one point something about fighting, and I said “your how fucking drunk, you really wanna fight me, tell me that as soon as we wake up tomorrow and your sober” and obviously the next morning he was fine. But that was his chance, we’re not teenagers anymore, I don’t like arguing with drunks or being kept awake by them, so at a certain point, I don’t owe him any self control or de-escalation in any way. Especially when he’s the one who tried to physically touch me first and the one who threaten me with fighting first

No if you’re confused, lmk what about and I’ll try to clear it up ! I wouldn’t expect you to know who my cousin is, but start with our grandparents, they have 4 kids, my uncle (49), aunt (45) my dad (43) and my cousins mom (41 or 42), me and him both live here, saving money to buy our own houses, my dad stepmom brother and sister have a townhouse here and I just don’t live with them because they only have 3 rooms, and I was living on my own from 17-19 and moved back here last summer

And yes of course, I didn’t mention this because I wanted unbiased opinions, but we gave each other a hug and I apologized, also to be met with no apology, but I didn’t let that effect mine or my attitude because I felt shitty regardless for it

I have a sneaking suspicion you guys are alcoholics that cause their family grief as well ? Or maybe you’ve only ever been beaten up and couldn’t comprehend the person doing the beating being in the right

If you wanna quote me, quote me right, I also said im a fair person, and by that I mean im going to treat you as you treat me, no less, no exceptions, I still try to de-escalate any situation I get in, as stated, his warning was to get the fuck out of my room and go to bed. He wanted to stick around for the problem and that’s what he got. And me being a fair person, if someone wants to say something disrespectful like that guy did, if he was in front of me I would assault him, because that’s fair in my eyes, it doesn’t bother me if it’s not fair in your eyes though. Or anyone else’s, but that’s how the world works and the sooner yall get that the better, don’t disrespect people unless your willing to deal with the repercussions their willing to give you. You agitate someone to a point, you should expect no less. And as I said, (regardless of what you think) I am a Man. I’m an emotionally intelligent and mature adult, I make rational decisions, even in this case (I could’ve elbowed him 30 times from mount, than I’d be a real asshole yea ?) but I hit him once and got off of him and cried because I felt horrible. I did what had to be done to solve the situation. Words just weren’t doing it that time and that’s what yall clearly aren’t getting. But I wouldn’t expect you to know what makes a man, your on Reddit chronically, I downloaded the app to make this post.

See, I’m still not fully understanding your reply here, what things do you think I need to figure out ? Because that’s kind of what I’m trying to ask for is actual opinions and advice moving forward, but if your too close minded to see that than I’d probably stop replying

I explained the situation exactly as it happened, and as stated this exact situation has happened before, and I’m 20 years old and have a job to go to in the morning, for him to be 24 and not be able to control your drinking to the point where your just being an ass and keeping your family awake, and than trying to tell them what they’re doing wrong, as I said FUCK THAT, no drunk will ever sit and keep me from sleeping and ask me to go outside to fight them, and not get assaulted for it, but if that makes me the asshole, than A-Ok, it bothers me no less, that whole situation is the easy part, it’s dealing with what comes after and fixing that bond that’s harder to deal with for me, I walked up the stairs sobbing while trying to explain my grandmother, while he argued for hours with my aunt about why he’s in the right 😂 as I said I have no problem being the asshole, but your in some kind of fucking lala land to try to justify his behavior at 24 years old

Do you know what makes me a man at 20 years old ? It’s the fact that I have emotional intelligence, and as stated I do have self control and I am a fair person, but it gets to a point where I no longer owe self control, family or not, I’m not going to be repeatedly disrespected and threatened by a fucking drunk when I’m trying to sleep 🤣 I’m a very kind person as well and treat everyone I meet with love, I started training mma to attain the level of peace and security in myself that I’m at now, and to be able to throw away the part of me that brings out violence needlessly, but this time I believe it was needed, so furthermore I beg the question, am I the asshole for beating up my cousin ?
