Aggression is the most extreme form of escalated anger and it usually involves standing up for your rights, defending yourself, while violating the rights and self-worth of others.

When your anger gets out of control you may not be able to restrain yourself and your actions may become violent. What if the other person wants to defend his own rights at all cost? You are looking at a knock down drag out fight between two people who cannot control their angry emotions.

Aggressive is blaming. “You” did it, “you” made me do it, I don’t care what you have to say, it’s your fault this whole thing happened. First of all, you will never get good results when you immediately blame someone for your bad feelings. More than likely they are going to come out swinging right along with you. Secondly, the more aggressive you become, the more aggressive you are inviting someone else to become.

The good part of aggression is you usually get what you want. The bad part is you usually pay a very high price for it. The price you pay is that people will not want to be around you, they fear you and give up easily so they don’t have to confront you or even worse they may retaliate against you.

Aggressive behavior has its fair share of effects on you as well as others. You feel guilty and regretful for hurting others. When you try to “make things up” for your behavior, you feel even more resentful that you put yourself in this bad position and you risk feeling angry all over again.
