Thread: How Do You Handle Bad News?

I'll usually just try to shrug it off, the stoic way.
Usually it'll burn inside, and I'll deal with it in some form of anger or sadness on my own.
Like alone in my room or something of the sort.

I agree. its on the type of news I am told, If we are breaking up, I be ok, but if she told me she was going out with someone else, I will be mad of course, but ok because she told me face to face and not let me find it out later where it was really going to hurt me badly

WEll, in front of people I usually shrug it off going "Well, that's not good." or "Oh! Ok." But depending on the news, when alone I'd mostly get angry about it, if not I just won't care.

Depends on upon the kind of bad news. My reactions are very moderat in almost any situation.

News that makes me sad like a family member has died. I love all my family members very dearly and a death in the family will hurt every body but me especialy, but the thing is this, I dont physicly express how I really feel on the inside. People most think that I really dont care or not that much when in fact I am a very emotional person, but have a different way of expressing my self, so thus a lot of people think I am cold hearted. Generly any news this dipressing I will sit in a corner, go to my room, or some place in the house and sit in solitude. It takes a lot to make me brake down in tears on the spot.
Bad news that makes me angre, well, you will know when I am angry, as I will seeth, and mumble venomous things about what ever it is that has gotten me so pissed off and go out side and take a long walk. But it takes a lot to anger me.

Or if I use your example, like if my girlfriend said to me "We need to talk" First thing I do is not jump to conclutions. I remain calm and hear what she has to say.

Well it really matters how bad it is how bad are you wanting the news first of all because most of the times bad news that is not to bad makes me pissed .

I am the kind of person who would shrug it off and at like its not important. But I uassully do this to piss the other person off. But if it like something like a family member dieing or something I would be sad. So guess it just depeneds on what kind of bad news
