Back to the topic of “Psychological fast food”. How often have you heard: “You are aggressive!”, “You respond too aggressively! You are aggressive towards me!”, “You are an aggressor!” - and a bunch of other variations in the use of the word “aggression”? All of them, in tone, carry a destructive charge and a qualitative characteristic of you as a subject of the relationship. But look at the description of the term aggression on the slides. There is not a word about a hostile attitude towards anyone. In its original meaning, aggression acts as a function of redistribution of resources for more effective adaptation to environmental conditions. In everyday use, we replace everything with the term “aggression”: from a simple glance in our direction (of course, through the eyes of a maniac, with the goal of raping and killing))), to truly destructive behavior towards us. In modern reality, it is so convenient for us, as in the case of toxicity that we considered earlier, to brand everyone and everything with aggression indiscriminately, that it does not even occur to us to take a little time to understand the essence and meaning what is happening. A close look may simply be evidence of problems with vision. A sharp rise in voice speaks of desperation in attempts to defend oneself. Wide and sharp gestures are character traits. Firm notes in speech, a desire to protect one’s borders.... But many even simply disagree with in their opinion, they tend to consider it an act of aggression. Most often, when saying the word “aggression”, in our everyday meaning, a person means Aggressive behavior. Such behavior always has a destructive component and that is what distinguishes it from aggression as such. In the end, I would like to wish you. Treat words carefully and carefully. And allow yourself the luxury of hearing and seeing what really stands behind the words and actions of other people. Do not rush to put labels on everyone and everyone. And who knows how many of them have already been hung on you. And remember, treat people the way you would like people to treat you. Good luck Sasha
