I've got a million things running through my brain right now, most are bad, unpleasant.
I wish I could jog, I'd go jogging instead of gym, but honestly it makes my heart explode and my tits hurt and my side cramps instantly hard enough to make me nauseuosasdflkjalskdj I can't spell that ******** word. Die.
I'd like to be outside right now instead of in the stink a** gym with ******** dude who stares and makes hissing noises at the ******** mirror next to me, or with dude who is liek SPOOOOOORTS LOL
I read bad terrible things and they're stuck in my brain. If _______ happened to me I would _______. What would be the consequences? What would be the outcome?
Now I have about 4 scenarios I was presented with and read, and my brain is trying to figure out how I could cope or what I could/would do in the situations to prevent it from happening going through my brain.
I'm not what I say I am. I'm not strong, I'm not dominant, but being the opposite of that makes me want to cry. My face is turning red and burning just thinking about it. I'm getting angry trying to imagine myself being submissive or passive. MY HEAD IS STARTING TO HURT.
I am not strong, but I am not weak.
I wil never let it happen. I will do wahtever it takes, even if the consequence is as severe as jail or death to prevent from being treated like that.
I always react like this and read about s**t anyway. It doesn't even affect me or anyone I know whyyyyyyy do I give a ********?

Look into Judo. I'll not dig into as to why, but it looks like you have serious self doubt, or have some rough experience when you were younger. None the less, I say that because: - It helps get you in shape, which you appear to be working on - Judo is a good self defense style, very practical - And it would give you the confidence in yourself that you're looking for
Ultimately, it would take away a lot of doubt, and, who knows, maybe you could talk Brandon into taking classes with you?

Maybe with the Judo thing. Not sure about my ability to handle martial arts though. xD I'm kinda...afraid I'd get drunk and use it as WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME b***h? I KNOW JUDO *STARTS A BARFIGHT JUST SO SHE CAN OVERPOWER AND SUBDUE SOMEONE*
I mostly feel much better now. I actually forgot I made this topic until I came back from the gym. sweatdrop
I think I just needed to write that and go work out to feel better.
And I had a relatively normal childhood. That's the weird thing! I've never been attacked, assaulted or physically abused! No sexual stuff either! So that's what puzzles me as to my weird reactions to things that have never touched my life.
I dealt with some moderate s**t, including a threat to my life and an emotionally abusive relationship around my grandmother's death in my early 20's, but I'm 30 now, and I rarely even think about that stuff unless it's brought up or something reminds me of it.
Maybe it did affect me more than I realize?

Well, it's always good to get things like this out, even if ti only makes you feel better. As far as misusing any martial art, most of what I've seen, when they train you, is restraint, and how you can use varying degrees of techniques to deal with people adequately. I can't speak from experience, though, as most of my information is second hand from friends who have studied. I, myself, would like to, but haven't.
As far as the emotional abusive relationship, that could've affected you quite a bit. If you can recall, can you pinpoint exactly when this determination towards being able to be strong and defend yourself came from?
A lot of small things, just small little problems here and there, that aren't worked out, can fester into something gigantic. Never underestimate the power of a small issue.

It's been all my life. I remember being 5 and rambling on to my mother about how I was just as strong as a boy and that I was a 'tough girl.' In preschool once I remember this boy was sassing to one of the chaperones so I did too because I wanted to be just as brazen and tough.
I remember skinning my knee once annd I remember repeatedly asking my mother if I was just as strong as a boy. I remember bragging if I was stronger than a boy, or I could run faster, pull harder during tug of war...pretty much if I did ANYTHING better than someone I judged who was supposed to be stronger/better at something than me. I'd run inside and cry instead of crying in front of neighborhood kids. I'd wrestle with the kids next door and throw crap at them.
HA I also remember when I was about 8, I got this neighborkid who was younger than me to parade around someone's yard with his pants/underwear down and his shirt lifted over his head. I later found out he was mentally challanged when I was much much older. Wtf. Going to hell. xD But I remember at the time that I was really pumped that I had the kind of power to convince someone to do something like that. I didn't threaten him or anything, I just talked him into it. But lol lookign back, I probably could have talked him into earing rocks.
I was teased and bullied a lot towards the end of elementary and throughout the entirety of middle school, and I was scared of my tormenters, so most likely, then.

Bullying would make a lot of sense, it's a very good possibility thats the route of it right there. It's also very possible thats where your temper issues might stem from.
Also, to answer your question in the very beginning, as to why you care so much, if you were reading about Hazing, you connected to it because you've been bullied, and been put under the mercy of others, be it at least once. A lot of people have, and I've yet to meet one person who enjoyed it. When it's been a key thing in your life, or a key determinant, people tend to connect to that, and project themselves into the situation. Not quite sure why, I do it myself frequently. This would also explain why you took this so close to heart, and why you got emotional about it.
In short, because of this, if anything like that bothers you, and you're not quite sure why, you can now overcome it. You can acknowledged you're a grown adult, that you're being successful in life, you're about to entirely own your own home, and it seems you're in a very happy relationship, and that people no longer hold and edge over you. You are your own person, and doing well in this world. If you tell yourself that, and honestly believe it, those fears and doubts will go away the more you focus on it. People have more control over their brain than they think.
