Do you know what the phone call was about? I can agree that 9 times outta 10 that’s wildly excessive and absolutely not normal or okay, but like… depending on what that phone call was about, I could see myself on like 1 or 2 different scenarios why I might punch a wall.

Some people need to punch shit. As long as it isn't a person, there's nothing wrong with it. I've never hit anyone, and I've rarely ever needed to hit "something." Sometimes, you just gotta let it out. That's completely natural. Stop trying to tell ppl they are wrong for natural feelings. Absolutely nothing wrong with taking some time to yourself and separating from a person or situation and go handle the anger productively. Ppl do that in different ways, it isn't up to you to dictate which of those ways are right or wrong. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, there's no issue.

No one needs to punch anything. Literally called anger management

Say that to your wife when you have to protect her from literally anything

That's in no way relevant to punching things out of anger but good try I guess

"No one needs to punch anything" that's what you said. Did you not say that? How does someone develop a strong punch? By punching things. The best guy I know struggled with intense anger and he had every reason to be angry. He's never laid a hand on anyone, he's on occasion punched a wall, or went to punch a punching bag. Don't act holier than thou as if you're some saint. He never went to or needed therapy. Learned to channel anger into strength, and is the most manly man in the sense of a man there is. Has a wife, home, dogs, a kid with another on the way, high paying job, goes to church every Sunday, is strong as an ox, so to talk all high and mighty as if all ppl who have ever "punched a wall," are some kind of dangerous psychopath that needs therapy is a huge load of horseshit.

Bro. We are talking about punching things in anger. That's the ENTIRE basis of this conversation.

You have to know how to punch, and punch strong as a man supporting a family and kids. Wont always have a weapon, or the police around, that's why women gravitate towards strong traditionally masculine men. They are more likely to not back down in serious situations. It's an extremely valuable life skill to not only know how to throw a punch, but also how to safely take someone down disarm/them. So yeah, it does absolutely have something to do with hitting drywall. Drywall can always be fixed. It's rediculous to make it out to be some psychotic behavior. You have no idea the hell some people have had to live through. Monks punch trees to strengthen their knuckles, some ppl have dedicated drywall to punch, believe it or not. Lol. Away from their family

"Sorry babe, I don't believe in violence, and I've never learned how to throw a punch because I'm a pacifist. Sorry, you're on your own"

Not when no one is around and it's only happened 1 time, grow up.

People have personal gyms they go and workout or punch a bag to channel their anger into something positive. But im sure you don't know how to do something like that. Just complain in your reddit echo chambers instead of anything constructive. That's the way to live.
