Is it always necessary to be kind? A psychologist told us how to work with aggression

by Walter Lewis

Meanwhile, short-term “bursts” of aggression, even destructive aggression, are more easily tolerated by the body. The main thing is that they should not be too frequent and intense.

Be lenient to the mistakes and shortcomings of other people. Remember that no one is perfect and it is easier to accept people as they are. This will help you become a more empathic person.

Thirdly, the level of aggression is connected not only with a hormonal background, but also with the features of the nervous system, upbringing, social experience. Therefore with desire and conscious efforts it is quite possible to control it.

To do this, you need to learn to recognize provoking factors, to relieve stress by safe methods, and to distract yourself from stimuli.

There are many ways of “letting off steam” without resorting to aggression. These include exercise/sports, meditation/breathing practices, and hobbies. Find what works for you.

It is important to remember to be responsive and understanding to the people closest to you: relatives, friends and colleagues in the first place.

Sincere kindness helps to strengthen the emotional bonds between people, reduce stress and negative emotions in those around. A positive attitude toward strangers creates a positive mood and makes a person happier.

The combination of kindness and aggression is a delicate balance that everyone must work through independently, based on the specific situation and their own moral foundations. The main thing to remember is that any display of violence must be justified, purposeful, and minimal in scale. The good should remain our ultimate goal.
