I've noticed personally that my aggression levels tend to vary depending on my mood (obviously), but my baseline aggression has also tended to to shift.

Most notably, if I am in a lull in my workouts (I stopped going to the gym for over 1/2 a year), I was considerably less aggressive.

I started going back to the gym and I feel great. Great but much more aggressive. I get easily pissed off and less likely to back down from anything.

I'm not particularly aggressive at home, but at I can be at work.

My vocation entails dealing with contractors on a regular basis and it does grate on my nerves when they do not do what I tell them to. Everything that I ask of them is reasonable and isn't beyond their contractual responsibilities.

I'm easy on them to begin with, but if they take advantage, then I will come down hard on them (within the limitations of the contract).

It is simple really; if they comply with the terms of the contract, then we will have a good relationship.

aggressive or angry?

I can definitely be pretty aggressive, but I'm just about always unfailingly polite about it.

I wouldn't call myself aggressive. I for sure have a crazy competitive streak though. And I'm a very vocal driver. But I'm not just going to get in random people's faces.

Uhm.. Not aggressive. I get cut off in traffic and shit all the time(horrible drivers up here who haven't learned the art of using a turn signal) and I never get all raged on them even though I probably should.

Same with ppl... By the time I realize I should probably have gotten all crazy aggressive with them, it's too late and they'll be like, "durrr why u dooo thaattt.."

Im the opposite of aggressive... People always think I dont care because I have this indifferent look on me most of the time, and I hate "fighting" (aka arguing in a non intellectual way), so they think Im not taking it seriously heh...

Sometimes I even think Im some sort of pacifist since I avoid all sorts of conflict whenever I can

I'm very calm in general, but go bat-shit insane when someone messes with my family or friends. Only 3-4 friends have seen me like this and they got really scared (not of me, for the people my anger was directed toward).

are your family and friends incapable of taking care of their own problems or something?

Honestly if you got angry I would probably laugh my ass off at you. You sound like one of those people whose voice gets all high pitched and squeaky and start balling from your eyes while you're yelling at no one in particular about how your pathetic excuse for a life blows

I'm kinda the same way, usually the days I do heavy lifting especially I get a lot more easily angered when i'm around people.

Shrug.

But then again, most of the guys i'm surrounded by rock Ed hardy shirts and most girls sound like OMGLOLWTFHAHA all the time so maybe I'm just like that all the time.

Almost everyone gets angry when that happens. :hmm: When your car is nearly slammed into from the side by some jackass, most people get angry... Even more angry when it does happen.

You sound like one of those people who is a dumbass. You must be.

Very aggressive. You don't get far in life as a passive poon. Especially a yellow colored one.

I have a calm assertiveness that I combine with fairly reasonable demands. I'm not aggressive. But I usually get what I want without having to be a dick about it.

I get most of negative energy/hostility out in productive ways like athletics or exercise. I'm a competivite guy but I just don't see any point in being a raging douche.
