Comment on How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight?

There really isn’t a norm. I don’t get mad very easily- I brush off thighs that upset other people - but if I get made it takes a long time to get over it. I had a gf once who got mad at the slitest thing (often really mad), but work get over it really quickly. There’s a lot of variation. And, of course, it can depend on the issue, too. A guy leaving the toilet set up is different from a guy kissing his gf’s sister.

You brush off thighs?

I love thighs myself, but that’s just me.

  You misunderstand: I love them so much that when I see any kind of dust or anything on them, I brush them off.
  
  Things, but I’m leaving the typo.

  Perhaps they meant “brush against thighs”.

I get the best of both worlds, it takes sustained pressure for a LONG time for me to get angry about something and when I finally do get angry it fizzles out and I’m over it in a matter of minutes to a max of about an hour.

But then again, most of my “negative” emotions are like that, grief, sadness, anger etc fizzle out quickly and I’m back to “baseline”. It’s like there’s a switch on brain that goes “Ok, that’s enough of that, back to normal”, not sure how normal that is in relation to others LMAO

  That’s great, at least as long as you’re truly letting go of it and not pushing it down someplace.
  
  It’s pretty easy for me to feel sadness, but anger is just a very unnatural state for me. Probably to an unhealthy degree in that there are probably times when I should be mad, but instead just get despondent.
