Welcome to Gaia! ::

i was just wondering if other therians had temper issues or, i dunno, ever had the feeling where you were about to lose control?

i am also very mellow most of the time...with the occasional things to get me excited or mad
i am totally with you about the whole people getting to close thing. i get quite edgy if someone that i dont really approve of gets a little too close.

though only times ive really growled was when seeing someone i REALLY hate or seeing something i strongly disagree with (most of which i manage to suppress as well unless its at home or something). i also snarl when im EXTREAMLY p***ed off or am under extreme physical tension/pain or some sort...but i need to work a little on suppressing those as well neutral

were you embarressed when your friend pointed that out, bout the hissing lol?

I show my teeth to people I dislike or have problems with. So if someone purposely bumps into me, they get what looks like an evil grin, which is actually a warning stating: "You touch me again and I will deconstruct you."

When I was younger, when people would bother me (for example, the group of boys that followed me home throwing rocks and sticks and rolled up newspapers at me) they'd get growled at, barked at, and chased. Rarely did they ever attempt to mess with me again, most likely because I had the reputation of being completely off my rocker.

So yes, I guess you could say I have a bit of a temper when it comes to my personal space and territory.

GASP! A topic which I haven't said something rudely dismissive to! This must be remedied.

No, you just need better self control. That has nothing to do with being a therian, only needing to mature.

They threw stuff at me because they thought it was funny, I guess. I come from a small town, and at the time I was the only goth/scene girl around. Ah, middle school, how I absolutely do not miss your petty, pre-adolescent drama and angst. I at one time could go on for hours about those irritating, bleeding rectal warts masquerading as children that I went to school with, but why continue to hold a grudge? That was years and years ago. Just remember: what goes around comes around.

I don't like being touched either, L. Especially my hair, which for some reason is what people tend to go for. If I don't know you well, do not presume to pet me, even if I AM having a fluffy day.

There is nothing wrong with getting angry when some retard goes out of his or her way to try to piss you off. It is what you do about it that matters.

I tend to growl, hiss and snap (with words ;P) if I'm angry enough, but usually I'm quite a calm person, especially if I know the person beginning to irritate me is doing it to get a rise out of me. I'm told I'm very scary when properly angry, but that's probably just due to the infrequency of true anger.

I bare my teeth at people (makes me wish my canines were more impressive), but they think it's a strange smile. I had to explain to a lecturer the other day that when a chimpanzee or baboon smiles at you, it's not happy, it wants to tear your throat out. With it's teeth.

I'm not overtly fond of touching from people I don't know very well. This didn't apply to a certain celebrity though...which I found a bit unusual.
I'm not good with people invading my personal space either, I have boundary issues.

I am trying to overcome it. Its hard though. When I am touched it feels like I am being burned. Its gettign a little easier, I don't freak out on people anymore, I internalize my pain now for the most part, but it still hurts. I've only ever met 2 people who didn't hurt to be touched by in my life.

i could see certain types of therians being more aggressive or easier to anger like a bull therian. but at the same note i would be half tempted to get a red blanket and yell toro toro in front of them.
