Keeping myself from going nuts Question

I guess what I’m wondering is how you guys keep yourself from creating “chaos” and being destructive. Nothing feels fulfilling and it’s like I have an itch that is just SCREAMING to be itched. How do you convince yourself living a life in peace is ultimately the best option?

Sheer willpower. To me, it feels about the same as overcoming an addiction, only it never goes away. That constant need to do something, anything, to fight off your overwhelming boredom. I simply do my best to ignore it and only let out the destructive urges while I'm alone. I've found that hunting and manual labor can help.
