Steroids and Self-agrandisement

[maassive]

Moving on from the trash-talk for a moment, I wanted to make a more serious reflection and see what others think about this.

I'm not the kind of guy about whom people would often use the term 'arrogant'. I have medium level confidence, not in your face brash, neither too shy and timid. And most notably (for this discussion), I used to be the kind of guy who was pretty easy going; I was ok to let people (my girlfriend) be right when I thought they were wrong (e.g.), if it meant that we could just get on with life and not waste time arguing.

Now heres' the point of this meaningless rant: Now into 5th week of cycle I've suddenly come to realise that there has been a significant rise in my assholeness, particularly in my relationship. When I'm right, it's important that I'm right..... I am not about to let anyone walk over me.... No, I think you do deserve a piece of my mind....etc.

What I've noticed specifically is that with the epic boost in self confidence, has in my experience come an equal boost in self absorbedness to the point where at times, I'm just being a plain asshole.

Has anyone else noticed something like this? Or to take this question wider: how does one balance having excellent confidence and self esteem and also being considerate, humble and self-less to others?

NOTE: I'm interested in a serious conversation here so if you wanna be a cock go hang out with ramy somewhere else.

Interesting topic. I don't know if most guys would admit they become assholes when doing anything let alone on a cycle.

I think awareness is the thing. I have a bit of a temper and I know this is amplified when I take gear so I always take a bit longer to react to things when I am on it. Just give myself a bit more time to think about it and calm down. It's kind of reminiscent of being a teenager when you flew off the handle at everything.

Mind you that was at the early stages of doing cycles, these days I don't have any of issues. So I guess the hopeful thing is that eventually you get used to handling it.

Tren turns me into a FUCKING WANKER

lol TLW

I do think it kind of has to be in you anyway, not sure what other people reckon but I think it amplifies certain aspects of behaviour. Cocky guys get cockier, assholes become bigger assholes. I used to say that drugs don't make a guy an asshole, they make him big enough so you notice he's an asshole!

I think you're right on (further up) where you said it's about awareness. I think I was just enjoying the high and the thrill of the extra confidence that I didn't really notice how absorbed I was in my own little world. Awareness is key, and maybe it makes that little bit of difference to help me to keep remembering to think about others.

Its definitely changes responses too things no doubt. Moody-ness will be more pronounced and things that usually you'll let go will set you off.

[Chemo]

Lol, I never really got a personality change outta the substance, but the size I gained made my ego explode. So I was more confident and cocky.

As long as you dont turn into Zyzz its cool

Lmao so true shit drivers bear most of the brunt of my RAGE. It's normally not to bad on anything other than tren.but I have bad road rage as it is

[severe]

Road rage... Some drivers just need t be told how useless they are. They need that, or they won't realise they have a problem. They obviously don't know they are useless as it is...

My day job involves me being ultra nice, and I can manage that, but I have never been one to miss out on telling a fuckwit that they won first prize for being one.

People need to be told. That is how we learn, by identifying our faults.

I have probably gotten worse, since being on gear, but if people were smarter, I would be nicer.

Some evidence suggests that testosterone up regulates serotonin and dopamine in the brain. (feel good related) It probably also has an effect on norepinephrine which plays a role in fight or flight.. Hence maybe related to the added aggression.

Also, the added size gives the user perception of his added capabilities to support aggression. Though some of these guys are quick to get there ass WHOOPED when they get carried away. :pfft:

I also think HRT could also be a great potential cure for depression. Though is rarely prescribed due to the stigma surrounding steroids. Among other reasons.

The mods were talking about this not long ago. There are certain members who we can tell whether they're on a cycle or not, simply by their behaviour on the forums.

Case in point: one person was using a particularly fast-acting form of testosterone. The mods braced themselves for the oncoming storm, and sure enough, two days later, it hit.

Some people can't handle their juice. :naughty:

and if they are not being He-Man, they are bitchy and sulking. The highs n lows of the AAS rollercoaster. Can't have got the right PCT...

[bigskinny]

Aint nobody talking about you...

[severe]

There often seems to be a direct correlation between ones ability to control aggression and ones intelligence.

This is priceless, regardless of research accuracy. Priceless.
