Some people think that yelling at others and harassing/attacking them will make those people respect them.

Read this conversation for a specific incidence of such an attitude.

I read a book recently called Quiet, by Susan Cain. In it she explores the differences between extroverts and introverts. Being a gaming forum, I'd venture to guess there's probably a higher than normal proportion of introverts here, but I'd still like to see what people think.

I want to get your opinion. How do you think you gain people's respect, specifically in a gaming environment like League of Legends, or in life in general?

Honestly, you can't ever get rid of these people.... but the best way I cope with them is instead of dealing with the trashTalker/rager/waa waa'r is not to talk to him at all but instead, comfort the guy gettin trash talked to. This rager is going to not play at his peek and telling him to "calm down, relax, chill" is only going to piss em off even more. Now if its directed at you... well, even if it isn't your fault, I'd apologize and hopefully somebody on your team will recognize your situation and calm you down like you would them.

IMO, you gain respect and good friends from a amiable attitude.

Earning respect in real life is vastly different than in game. From what I see in game, people are easy to respect somebody solely because of skill. This actually disappoints me.

I dont know I think it is to an extent however if someone else is yelling at someone I look at are they doing everything right? If not I let them know because maybe the person has some misconceived notion about a role or how players should behave. In my opinion I try to not let it bother me. The reason is that the person could be having a terrible day which, is why they are yelling alot. Also the times I yell more is when you are only able to play a game or two and they are going great but, a player is totally unresponsive or not replying to questions/feedback and they are doing something that is ruining the game for the other four players. Examples of this are support using 0 wards, a jungler not farming but instead sitting in brush and then wondering why they arnt usefull when they are down three levels to the enemies, people who attack the enemy under the tower and or chase through multiple towers feeding the other team. I would say if the player is responsive when I ask why arnt you jungling then im less mad and put on my teaching cap and try to explain it. I would say a lack of communication is what causes most people to yell and scream and cus.
