Aggressiveness We often think it's cultural – that it's the person's nature. He
or she was born that way. But personally, I believe aggressiveness
is a defense against feelings of inferiority. Let me explain. Look at yourself. You feel you're a pretty good
person, and probably don't think of yourself as aggressive. But I
bet there are certain people who would call you aggressive once in
a while. Why is that? I believe it has nothing to do with what you actually are, but how
you feel and see yourself in the situation. That means you
perceive the other person, or circumstances as a threat. If you were to ask Darwin the difference between a human and an
animal, he'd probably answer, “Not much.” Look at yourself and
you can notice lots of animal instincts. One is your switch to
aggressive behavior when you feel threatened. I haven't completed an academic research on this. My understanding
comes from observation. Look at dogs, most often you find the
biggest and strongest are gentler than the little ones. Observe
other animals. Generally, the bigger they are, the gentler their
behavior. Of course there are exceptions – crocodiles and lions
are always ready to kill. But that's their nature. They're
predators. They hunt to survive. Or look at managers. The ones at the very top in a company, or
outstanding leaders in their own fields, most the time are very
gentle humans – Type B personalities. On the other hand, there
are those climbing the ladder of success and those who do not
realize there is an end to the ladder.). These are type A
personalities! (Unfortunately, I think I have to count myself into
that group.) If a person is in harmony with himself and his environment he or
she has no reason to be aggressive. As soon as things unbalance,
physical, as well as mental problems can arise. But when all is in
harmony one is happy, and everything is more or less under
control, one is not aggressive. As soon as one feels threatened, however, one reverts to the animal
mode of behavior, which is absolutely normal. You could take the
most balanced, easy-going individual, attack that person from
behind, and he or she might turn around, take a stick, and hit you
right over the head. Self-defense is an animal mechanism in all of us and can be
triggered by many things. Here's a perfect example: Assuming you drive your car on a rainy day, down a narrow street.
You see a car coming at you from the opposite direction and
realize there is little room to pass. You slow down and edge as
far to the side of the street you can. The other driver does not slow down or move over. He continues at
speed right at you, flashing his lights. When he gets closer to
you, he blasts his horn and drives through a big puddle, which
splashes over your windshield and momentarily blocks your vision.
I bet you will feel the urge to kill, even if you are normally the
calmest of drivers. The older I get the more I observe myself. I know I am often very
aggressive. But to tell you the truth, it's just because I feel
threatened, either at a conscious or unconscious level. Now, be honest with yourself. Does it happen to you, too? If it
does, use every bit of your self-knowledge and understanding to
retain your balance. It's not easy, but it's better for the well
being of those around you, and for your own health! This article was written to assist our aggressive customers understand themselves and how others perceive them.
