When one attacks oneself verbally during a period of sadness or other negative emotion (anger, etc.), usually with plenty of force. (Ex.: Calling oneself an idiot,
retard or other attribute that insults the
person’
s intelligence, actions, etc.). One will frequently speak in 2nd
person. Sadness Aneurysms come in 3 stages:
1. The victim will begin to feel their sadness change to anger, and will occasionally begin to growl, grumble or otherwise voice their emotional morphing.
2. The victim will begin to mentally insult themselves, yelling insults at themselves in their heads. You should be able to tell by now if they are having a sadness aneurysm, as their face will frequently turn red.
3. The insults become verbal, and the
person may mumble or shout them, depending on the severity of the sadness aneurysm. Eventually, the
person will either cool down, or commit mass homicide to all around them. It is best not to talk to them, particularly in this stage, as they
may lash out, making the sadness aneurysm worse. This stage gives the sadness aneurysm its name, as the victim will usually act as if they are having an aneurysm.
John: Dammit! You should have gotten that
test question right, you bumbling, idiotic fool! How can you live with yourself?!
Steve: What’s up with John?
Tom: Leave him be. He’s having a sadness aneurysm because he messed up on an easy question that failed him the math
test today.
Steve: Oh. Ok.
