Sometimes showing mildness is simply dangerous, but it is important to clearly identify such situations.
First of all, aggression is justified in the case of self-defense or protection of loved ones. If a person feels a threat to life or health, he needs to stand up for himself.
Unfortunately, different situations can happen in our lives. Often quite unpleasant ones. For example, an attack, a threat of physical violence or psychological terror. In such cases, use of aggressive means of protection is a normal reaction to danger. The only condition becomes control over the measures necessary for repulsion of an attack.
At the same time manifestation of aggression out of selfish motives – lust for enrichment, power, revenge, etc. – will never be justified. Let’s look at some of the mechanisms that cause such behavior. This will give us an idea of how to spot unjustified behavior.
Causes and methods of processing

Our body urgently tries to take all measures to defend itself, and raises the level of testosterone in the blood. When there is an excess of this hormone, the person becomes more irritable and irritable.
It is important to learn to adequately assess situations and not to see a threat where there is none. You also need to believe in your own strength and ability to solve problems constructively.
Second, stress and negative emotions, which cause our defensive reactions, are bad for our health if they are experienced constantly and over small things. The body thinks it is in constant danger and sends signals to the brain to keep on the defensive.
