Sinful Sunday: Shouting at my tv
Sometimes it happens that I can't help but shout at my tv, usually there's no real reason for it except for frustration. But try to explain that to your parents when you're a kid, to your boyfriend or girlfriend when you live together with someone or your neighbours when you live close to other people. They probably think that you're crazy, but how could they ever understand how you got screwed over in a game and you just have to blow off some steam or else you'll explode with frustration!
Why do you shout at your tv?
That's simple, it makes me feel a bit better but mostly it's just my natural response when I feel that I get screwed over. For example in the Division I almost killed an enemy and he survives the full burst of my rifle and I have to reload, but reloading takes just a bit too long and he kills me. That makes me upset and when I'm upset I shout at my tv. Sometimes it's just a few words but there have also been moments where I had rants of several minutes. No one has ever complained to me but I can imagine that people around me think that I'm crazy, but the good part about that is that I don't get a lot of uninvited visitors.
Does it make you feel better when you shout at your tv?
There are definitely moments where it feels good to let out some frustration, because if you keep that all bottled up then it's just waiting for the moment that it will burst out and that might be at a time and place that isn't so convenient. For example when you go out on a date or at school or work. So screaming at your tv suddenly seems less crazy at that point, besides we all have moments that we're upset and not dealing with that is just a disaster waiting to happen! I've tried to stay calm but then the tension just keeps building and things just only get worse, it's better to just let out the frustration as fast as you can and it will be over also a lot faster. But I would suggest keeping it to verbal ventilation of frustration, because if you switch to physical ventilation you might find your house in a trashed state. Something that has happened several times to me and cleaning up doesn't really help you feel better either!
Do people understand why you shout at your tv?
I think so, because I never get questions why I shout at my tv. Either my family and friends think I'm crazy and that it's better to avoid the subject or they just realize that I have issues and there's no point in talking about that. Either way it suits me just fine. I don't think that as a kid I ever got in any real trouble with that, it's not like my parents got mad at me for shouting at my tv but sometimes they would remind me that they could hear me. I guess that was their way of telling me that I shouldn't shout so hard. As an adult I can't say that I changed that much, ok I try not to be a complete asshole and shout as loud as I can but there are moments where I'm so frustrated that I have to shout or else I lose my mind. It's nice when family and friends understand, but I don't think it's a requirement and as long as they can accept me the way I am then there's not a real problem. At least that's how I see it.
