Are you attracted to defiant people?

Post Reply New Topic

There's a mental heal term for defiant and just any everyday term for it.

When I read the thread title I instantly thought of characters like Tony Stark and Col O'Neill or any character that you know is fighting on the right side but still defies the rules and does thing their own way. I find that attractive.

I wouldn't say people who stand up against the system are attractive for me, because they are the norm to me. I've been a socialist then anarchist for years and now I'm just a person who rejects the mainstream, question the government and media and is strongly opposed to social networking while existing in that environment at the same time. I'm that way because I think it is changing people and not for the better.
I wouldn't call myself a non-conformist but I don't like seeing people slaves to the media, the government and the social network which is just a continuation of the social structure in society laid out in a much more visible way. I wish I could free them but problem is some people just want to stay there.

In a mental health sense I have a pathology for defiance. I argue a lot and have to catch myself out before I just go nuts over a single topic I may not care anything about or I may be arguing when I would usually agree. Or I will avoid obeying people, especially when pressure is put on me and will purposely break the rules just to get some freedom back. I don't actually like that part of myself though.
