Behaviour Issues!

Post Reply New Topic

Can you expalin too me what 'behaviour problems' are and why some people have a harder time controlling there behaviour than others?

Behavior problem would be something like, kicking another person in the chin, punching them in the stomach, spitting on their couch, setting their house on fire. That sort of thing. Actions that are not conducive to being liked by others. Some people are impulsive and cannot thing rationally before they do something. This can create a "conduct disorder." While other people think it's okay to do destructive things and know full well what they are doing ahead of time. This person you might label a "sociopath."

Man! If we could control some people's behaviour issues this would be a better place! An extreme behaviour problem would be someone who thinks "the world is out to get them" so they behave irrationally, go on murder sprees, break things, etc. Such people are sociopathic, psychopathic, narcissistic, etc. Unfortunately, since they're citizens they have rights. They have the right to not be institutionalized against their wishes. They have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness like everyone else. It's only when they cross over the lines of decency, morality and legality that others step it to control and stop their behaviour.

I know he's discredited but I think B.F. Skinner had a clue. Some people "get away" w/ acting out, at least intermittently (variable ratio schedule), and others get quashed immediately so they can it. A lot of it is family first, then random later on. Roulette.

Behaviour issues usually comes up due to lack of exposure with decent people, social cues, societal rules.

In my case my parents were not socializing and my dad had loads of behavior issues like drinking, yelling, throwing
things, abusing people, using foul language in public...

Now since i grew up with him i developed same behavior but my life stopped working and i had to learn things
the hard way down.

I have hidden my aggressive side and try to behave very decently in public place and at work. I have been able
to hold onto a job for last one year since i have kept track of my behavior

I haven't been able to make a friend at workplace since i don't know what and when to talk..

But i noticed that if i keep silent people appreciate me

Good behavior can be learned but its not easy
