I had a bully back in elementary, he slammed me against a metal pole, caused a small dent that's still there, but a couple weeks later, I managed to be more nice to him, even if he bullied me, and eventually- he stopped.
And also, people annoy me about me constantly acting weird. It's a form of stress relief for me, plain and simple. So I can just ignore them, and they shut up.
Oh, and Prawk, It doesn't matter for some people if they know you can seriously injure them, people keep poking and prodding me, and they know I can whip-em good, but they continue. And every once in a while, I snap and Give them a blow to the gut. They still keep on it.
