Sometimes I feel the honest need to go (online or with my parents), "If anyone threatens me I'll bash their face in" or "If anyone tries to censor me I'll sue them" or something like that. Or if someone insults me, I'll insult them worse, or if someone scares me, I'll scare them worse, if someone thinks they're better or smarter or whatever than me I'll act like I think I'm better than them because I'm not a snob, or if someone makes a fool of me, I'll make a fool of them worse, to ensure it never happens again. I feel like I need to be aggressive and oppressive to protect myself from other people's aggression and oppression sometimes. I know it's normal, and I know many consider it wrong, but do you ever get like that and how often and about what?

Yes, I just did something hypocritical a few seconds ago--I told another poster not to care about what their mom thinks, but when I was in college, I felt the exact same way. :?
But it's because you don't want other people to make the same mistakes that you've made, what's wrong with that?

Isn't everybody? Most people are unaware of their hypocrisy, though.

I give people advice and don't even use it to fix my own problems. I guess thats being hypocritical?
