Never been in an intentional fight with anyone except for my sister back in childhood. However, lately noticed becoming progressively aggressive (currently discharging by words, which could've end up bad if I were a man, now I only upset people) and even having violent thoughts.. it's like a pink smoke is filling my head and I become indifferent to possible consequences and feel weirdly joyful.. brave? free?? Brrrr. I am actually scared of where this path might take me

I was surprised when I read the replies here because I felt that INTJs shouldn't be prone to resort to such uncivilised and pointless methods. In fact, avoiding fights while satisfying our objectives should be second nature because fights are unproductive. Nothing gets done. No one is happy.

I've learnt early in my life that a peaceful working relationship maximises productivity, and I love to keep it that way. Perhaps the hiding of my true feelings can be viewed as untruthful, but if it can stop undesirable situations from happening, go for it.

I remember slamming my 5'10" cousin into the wall because he pissed me off. But he didn't fight back. Thank god. He chuckled at me and said: Whoa. Fierce.

I was in public school through sixth grade and then I was in the weird cult/school thing until I was sixteen and finished their stuff and went to college. Anyway, I was like literally my height and weight - full grown - by the time I was in 5th or 6th grade and then I just stayed that size. So I was bigger than all the boys in elementary school. I used to accidentally hurt the boys when we played tag just by knocking them over.

I was the oldest in my family and I was always left in charge so I was pretty opinionated. Aside from my mom, who beat me enough for all eternity, nobody has ever ever tried to hit me. I guess I just have that look that says, "not a good idea." I was also raised to believe (paradoxically) that it's trashy for girls to fight (both physically and with that ridiculous back and forth name calling). So I've never participated in that. Since I was bigger than everyone else and not popular anyway, I did protect other kids who were getting bullied or picked on. I didn't really befriend them, but it kind of has always turned my stomach to see people being overtly cruel to other people. If I can step in without getting killed (and maybe even if I would get killed) I will.

I guess it's kind of difficult for me to see how an INTJ would fight because we're rational? I mean, I'm always trying to keep arguments on a logical plane and I really detest arguments devolving into name-calling. I hate it when it happens on here, much less IRL. It's stupid and has nothing to do with what was being argued about in the first place. It's like whoever does it was losing so they degenerate into name calling or physical fighting.

oh yeah, and as kids, we weren't allowed to hit each other (me and my sibs) or we would get beat by my mother. So we didn't do it. (That's right, we'd get hit for hitting)

I can attribute much of the fact that i got in a lot of fights to the racial tensions at school/territorial issues in the neighborhood but I also think it has to do with how I come off as an INTJ.

In elementary school I was a strange, antisocial, chubby kid. As I got older my physique became more muscular and athletic. I never preyed on anyone but I always secretly yearned for the chance to get in a fight. After awhile the initial anxiety and fear of losing dissipated, confidence grew and it became more and more of a game and discipline than a reactionary, emotional discharge. I appreciated boxing and fighting (MMA) early on as an art form and still spend a great deal of energy devoted to it as a hobby and a way to stay grounded.

Don't recall ever fighting as a child; however, I did slap real good some kids face, but he wouln't fight back. It was a warning for him to stay away from my little brother.

Outside of that, the only other physical fight I had was with my ex-husband when I was 3m pregnant... he started it and I continued it... I had just came back from the hospital, it was pass midnight and I was tired, had to get up early to work next day cause he was a couch potato and had no job at the time. He was an a$$ol3 who didn't bother to go to the hospital so my adopted sister was with me. He started saying BS about her and me and I got piss so I splash his face with water and he began to punch me on my upper body and face and wanted to trow me out of the car... so I punched back all the way to the house... I was so close to call the police on him.... anyway...

Those are the only two times I remember getting physical... outside of those I hate trouble so stay away from it as much as possible.

I was assualted by a member of my family just the other week. We were in my car I was driving, my assulter was in the passenger seat, at least 15 punches were thrown at my head, I blocked the majority of them, but 2 got through, they didn't knock me out so I chilled out abit. I didn't fight back though, just tried to restrain them. I've done a few years of martial arts, so weirdly I felt kind of 'comfortable' in a way (weird). Now I have a better idea of what will happen if I get jumped or something.

Being introspective as we are,we do feel rage and anger,but we experience it differently(we are like a nuclear reactor,when we will burst,everything is gonna pay)
Don't let your emotions dwell in you,express your anger when you are stimulated to feel it
Don't keep it in
There is a line that was very accurate about me,from the movie Anger Management:
That there are two kinds of people when it comes to anger:There is the guy in the supermarket that creates a ruckus in line(Relatetivly small bursts of anger,harmless) and the cassier listens to his crap pasiently,his and everone elses,for 15 years and one day,he pulls a gun and shoots everyone in the supermarket,and you my friend,you are the cassier

That hit me when i heard it lol,so if you feel happy that you do so when you have your bursts,lol its ok
I had to take up boxing to feel comfortable with it

School was too tiny and constantly oppressive for fighting. Someone, maybe the guy but maybe not, picked a fight between me and some other guy at church. It was over after I threw one punch. Other than that, I jump two older bullies once, which likewise was over after the first push/throw though I left immediate after.

As a teen, I had almost a foot and hundred lbs on those my age and was larger and seemingly quicker, stronger, and more resilient before. Being considerably smarter with a vicious temper when pushed just enough clinched it. My bullies were the adults, who were originally larger, came in groups, and had me politically, pseudo-legally, and financially.

Hmm,i had an epiphany in school concerning bullying,cause i was bullied,i was hanging around with a weird crowd usually and being weird myself i was a target,so,after an incident a friend of mine chasticed me for backing down,he said man you are half a foot taller than i and you are working out(i had started gym then) and you back down like a chicken
He was so right about that i was like O_O
After that i decided never to back down again,next time i simply lifted and slammed one of the kids in the wall,and asked him what was the problem
No bulling after that
I don't like fighting,although there is a vicious side in me...boiling,but i do have a ''Don't push me attidute'' that you don't have fuck with

I generally try to avoid physical fights, as I have a greater tolerance for physical pain and I might end up hurting them much more than what they can do to me. It also certainly does not help that I have the "built-to-kill" attitude (I am faster, stronger and have quick reactions even with a scrawny build) which in heated moments brings out the worst in me.
