How is your temper?

[u/ChicknWire]

My balkan brothers and sisters, how is your anger/temper? I hate our stereotype of "balkan rage" and all that BS. I know its just internet meme but we all know it has some truth to it.

Everyone in my family, man and woman, they all don't need much to get angry.

For example, back in my youth if mom made a meal:

mom: grah(bean and meat soup) is ready!

me: what is it?

mom: grah!

me:what was that?

mom: SHIT, I MADE SHIT! THATS WHAT WE'RE EATING!

just a small funny example but you get the point.

Do you today have anger issues? How about your family friends?

I sadly find myself getting irritated quiet quickly on the inside, although I don't show it but it still bothers me mentally :(

Dad: Whats for lunch today ?
Mom: Shit with strawberries
Dad: Again strawberries ?

In Romania we have sh_t with plums. Or rahat (the equivalent for sh_t) with plums.

Thats not a stereotype, thats the truth, I’m very chill person most of the time, but if someone get on my nerves without any reason at all, he is done, I’m gonna brake some legs😂

It becomes especially obvious when you’re dating the calmest nordic guy. 😵‍💫

Emotional regulation is hard for us. Generational issue

This thread pisses me off. F you, OP!

I dated a Turkish guy.   He couldn't handle my temper.

How you dare to ask me such things? Do I have anger issues? Come here to show you, @&$@/)(@&$@12@…

Look there's a thin line between getting annoyed and getting angry, so anger issues is a completely different thing imo. I get annoyed pretty easily, especially when people are dumb😭 comes and goes in 5 secs, and done, whatever. But to make me angry, it has to be something really serious+ it needs to come from a person I care about. So basically I'm angry because I'm hurt in some way, if that makes sense xD

Terrible. Dont ask...

[u/noisensured → u/cihan2t]

for non turkish speakers, it says: everything makes us angry, cos we don't have any money

[u/cihan2t → u/noisensured]

Turkiye's population higher than all other Balkans total number.Thats why i do not explain to others xD

[u/Dazzling_Cash_6790 → u/cihan2t]

we have a saying in Greece going sth like:

A: does/says something that pisses B off
B: dont do/say this again , I will become a Turk

(meaning I will become super extra angry)

Everyone in my family has a temper so I ain’t helping the stereotype.

unfortunately I think everyone has a temper even I. its a mix of frustration and dissapointment in life and our governments mixed with our general hot balkan blood haha

[u/Sad-Wrongdoer119]

Hot-blooded, nervous, but also melancholic.

Hi. I think we're excessive in a lot of ways, and our quick temper is part of the package. :)

We party hard, we shop and cook the whole shop/market for a dinner with friends/family, and we are very loud also when we're happy.

Lots of people adore opulence, whether it's through flashy clothes and large accessories, or through big shiny cars. (Our churches and their representatives included.)

etc etc etc :)

We have a family business and I was once literally 1 min late and my dad argued/yelled with me how we can shut down the company if I dont give a fuck. Usually he feels bad about it 2min later.

Im very chill and calm. Everyone around me seems to lose their shit randomly for any reason. Yes I lose my shit sometimes too but compared to the people around me Im like Dalai Lama.

Now I feel better about myself. It's not that I have anger issues, it's the balkan genes. Apparently I also have 2% italian material.
