In psychology, the word aggression refers to various actions that can harm oneself, others, or objects, including physical and psychological. It may sign a basic mental health disorder, drug use, or a medical condition. Although we sometimes consider aggression as only physical forms such as punching or kicking, it may often be extremely damaging to relational aggression. Examples of verbal, mental, and emotionally abusive actions include intimidation or verbal counseling. Aggression has different types; the main three types are:

  1. Passive Aggression

People with passive-aggressive behavior, instead of controlling it directly, subtly show their bad feelings. This separates what you say from what you do. For example, someone is proposing a work plan. People with passive aggression will reject the proposal, but they claim they agree with it, instead of expressing their opinions. However, when they are against the plan, they resist it. They will intentionally ignore deadlines, attend meetings late, and even compromise the schedule. Another explanation is this: a woman is studying in the same room as her boyfriend. She’s angry at him, so she blows the sound on her desktop to annoy him, rather than telling him she’s mad at him. Some typical symptoms of passive aggression include:

  • Bitterness and hostility to the requests of other citizens
  • Intentionally delays or errors when answering the requests of other peoples
  • Having an aggressive, pessimistic, or hostile mood
  • Sometimes complaining about unknown or deceived feelings

Passive behavior is not a medical condition, so that a doctor cannot diagnose it. A qualified mental health specialist still will help you identify a psychological problem that needs treatment. You will raise questions about your signs and behaviors, like the start of your life, work and relationships, and their consequences. You should schedule a psychologist’s appointment if you believe that you have passive-aggressive behavior. The psychologist will be prompted to complete multiple questionnaires about the symptoms, feelings, and personal history. Besides, the psychologist will ask you a question about your childhood and your anxiety conveying experiences. They will allow you to cope with your passive-aggression behaviors until potential environmental causes have been recognized.

  1. Open Aggression

On the other hand, some people appear to anger and fury, become aggressive violently or verbally, and even injure themselves or others. This is called open aggression. This is the way we fight, intimidate, threaten, accuse, scream, and bicker, sarcasm, and criticize. The need to be in control of open aggression is a consequence. Would you like a hand in dealing with open aggression? Learn about ‘assertive aggression’ ahead. Anger may often be reflected on the property or even on ourselves. Your interests are valid and polite, but open violence occurs when you fully shadow others’ desires by relying on your interests. The effect is a crippling insensitivity that cannot take into account the desires or experiences of another person. It feels like you have the right to do whatever you can to defend yourself or get what you need, and your hurting and desperation is so great.

Open aggression also comes from a position when the person has been badly hurt and abused. You may have learned from previous encounters that only loudness and intimidation is the best way to get people to listen to and take you seriously. Open aggression is intense and protects you from being harmed by others. It gives you the power and always feels like you are the only one. Someone was incorrect about you, after all! What do you do?   Only take it and sit back?

  1. Assertive Aggression

By being controlled and trusted, talking and listening, and open to dealing with the problem, the healthier way to deal with frustration is. This assertive aggression can allow relationships to improve. Before you speak, it means listening, being secure about how you articulate it, and open to the ‘other hand’ and versatile. It implies being patient, not raising your voice, expressing how physically you are, and just wanting to understand what others do. You prove that you are confident and think for your relationships and yourself when you deal with anger assertively.

Forgiveness is often important; be open to forgiveness if a person has apologized for making you upset, or if you know that the situation is ‘not worth it.’ And they are ready to be forgiven and to forgive themselves! This will encourage you to settle down, which will enable your connections with others to grow. Don’t forget that you are essential. Your life matters, and in this world, you will make a difference.
