Is it normal that verbal confrotnation angers me more than physical?

I've always hated verbal, confrontations. I'm like a deer caught in the headlights, when it happens. I don't have the volume to win a shouting match, and while I can support my arguments when I have time to think through them, when someone puts me on the spot, I can't think of anything. Now when a physical, fight, happens, I may be a little, scared, but I will fight back. Then when it's all said and done, I'm usually good with it. However when someone screams at me, I feel so conflicted, because if I did start, swinging at them even though it would be satisfying it would also be wrong, and I'd be the one in trouble. So since I'm not a screamer, I have to sit there and take whatever verbal, abuse someone heaps on me, while inwardly telling myself to not lunge at them.

Is this a normal thing? It just seems kind of odd to me, that I'm perfectly fine, with someone physically, confronting me, and then I get super, pissed when someone verbally does it. If I have a fight with someone, I usually make up pretty fast. Every time someone has verbally, chewed me out, I've held a grudge against them.

  • Makes sence. I'm not good at verbal disputes either because it takes me time to think of a responce. When I argue I just seem crazy even when I have a good point but cannot think of it right away.
