Ha! I have done the same. I was being restrained, could not break free, and it was the only way I could think of to defend myself. It worked! I will add that I was 11 yrs old and had no martial arts experience at that time.

I was much older, an adult actually. It was so that the situation started like sort of playful but it got out of control which certainly was not my fault. In my case it also was the only way to get out of the situation because the other person was superior. I also do not have any experience of martial arts or anything like that. I was not scared I was extremely angry all of a sudden. I guess I just acted instinctively. People sometimes have to do things like that if they do not have other options. Fortunately that other person stopped there.

I am a Japanese guy moved from Tokyo to Los Angeles and people mix me up daily thinking I am Chinese, Filipino, Korean etc, because let me quote my last customer: ˝You all look the same to me˝. Nice. Just got married to my 2nd wife. Hoping she will be nicer than my ex nemesis. I am currently self employed (my own boss so no one jerks off on me) and working as a car mechanic and car tuner and lately I have been ricing up my Subaru to death. God bless USA and Japan. 8)

I reverse searched a photo I tool of myself once and Google thought it was an image of a girl.

^Once my hairdresser did my hair so "big" all people asked if I have a wig. Not my day really.

Just tell what is in your mind, this kind of discussions do not have any "rules" really.

I was hesitant to post at first but then I chanced upon your responses.

I'm a biter too. In my country the uncontrollable urge to bite another person is called "gigil".

Also, origami is one of my coping techniques when I'm having extreme anxiety.

This year I was able to fold and give away at least 3,000+ paper cranes.
They are often stringed and put up in orphanages and kids' rooms in psych/MH centers where I help out.

During particularly dark episodes, where I can't work/study, paint or write, paper folding can become quite like an obsession. The more intense the internal stress, the more paper animals/flowers I create.

This is so sweet. I've also recently taken up origami when I have extreme anxiety as a way to refocus my mind. I am hardly up to your standards though, I can only create hearts and butterflies from memory. The rest I need to follow a tutorial for.

I know an artist who does street art with origami butterflies. It would be quite beautiful to follow the same motif in orphanages and hospitals.
