Passive and Aggressive

Generally there are dominates in one area or another in a persons personality; Passive and aggressive.

How would you generalize yourself and why do you think you are.
Give examples.

Some personalities/people feel the need to overcome what they are comfortable with and feel pressured to do the opposite. Why?

What would cause you to come to the conclusion to look outside your comfort zone to express these opposite tendencies?

What benefits can you gain by expressing something outside your comfort space/zone.

Maybe this topic needs to be in the Philosophy forum. If it needs to, then please more it there.

Mods. please make a correction on my spelling of aggressive on the thread title.....Thankies.... 😄

i've been single my whole 16 years of life....i was raised a geeky geek

I'm gonna bump this cause when Czarina post here it will be nothing but 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 for the whole gang.

And I plan to answer later also

Well in most situations I would be considered passive, especially in situations or subjects that I’m not very familiar with then on the flip side I can be very aggressive in things that I have knowledge and experience in. Sometimes I’m considered arrogant because I’m passive and some people misjudge that as a sign of “I’m too good for you” which my wife has the same problem, we are both quite people most of the time outside of friends.

Generally there are two parts of each 24 hour period, day and night.

Which one is it now?

Also, Coke or Pepsi?

I don't believe personality traits are situationally static

I found the warrant and now I am looking for Carmen Sandiego.

Interesting topic Debbie ESP because I know what is going on. This has a deeper meaning I believe. Anyways I think I am passive only because I don't like to express myself. I tend to hide things, HOWEVER I am not like a certain someone we know debbie. I am not cruel lol you know what I am talking about.

It depends if someone is getting angry at me I get VERY aggressive and scream/claw/scratch/bite/kick but if it's a situation that won't directly involve me I'm passive.

Well being that I have OCD it is very easy for me to be a little aggressive but most of the time I could be aggressive so not sure.jm

Well a compulsive disorder from what I understand it quite Strong with the desire for things as you think they must be, so I understand. My father is that way............Nooooooo water drops on the sink or tub,..But that is his neatness compulsion, along with he being a slave to the clock .What's gonna happen if you're late? Die?? They hate you??? .lol

I've learned a few tricks on how to dislodge, off set, throw off some thinking.,..and all in fun of course..."Hey look, antichrist is coming".....etc...off beat.....Hehe..."Gonna put mysself in my bubble if you don't stop it!..Try talikng through that Mr"......LOL

Change the direction of thoughts is my hope..doesn't always work......but hey, it does many times...lol

I read this and had to think about it for a bit. Great questions, so I wanted to give it some thought.

The idea of needing to overcome comfort by doing the opposite, this is a duality argument, it could be related to that person's celestial sign (which may or may not play a part of personality). I'm a libra, so I seek balance for ideals but in doing so, I may cause my own scales to be unbalanced for the sake of balancing that ideal.

Let's say that someone called you lazy, and at first, your feelings are hurt, but you get over it. And maybe you agree with them, what to do? Well, you make a list of all the attributes that make you lazy, one word for every emotion/action that is related to the MOTIVE for being lazy as well as all the other aspects that encompass lazy. After that, you make another list, an exact opposite of terms for the emotions that are related to lazy. And start acting on those opposite terms, if you did your homework and follow through, you will no longer be lazy, ever.

It's strange, but if you imagine 2 libra scales, a lower scale being balanced at the bottom of the left or right the upper/larger scale, you would see the lower scale will be balanced, but only causing the upper scale to be unbalanced. Weird.

Some religions use to "outside" to make adjustments to the inner person's spirit/energy or mind, based on observed lessons from other human beings or animals or nature. That goes for cultures as well. And others are taught to seek the answers from the inside, and that the answers are already there, you just have to ask or retrieve it.

Sorry, that's the best I can come up with now.

Here's a nice pic of the Libra scale, and if you imagine another scale on the left or right of the one on the picture, like a parent scale and the imagine scale being the "child" scale, you'll also realize that the larger or first scale would end up unbalanced b/c it has a lower scale resting on the right or left of it, all awhile the new additional scale is hanging on it's proper balance.

sorry, i'm no photoshop person.

if you see the upper scale, it's unbalanced, but if you see the lower scale, it's hanging in balance all b/c of the upper scale, and so, the upper scale is sacrificing itself to keep the lower scale in balance.

the concept of "libra" itself is a duality argument, if looking at just one libra scale, it's the left vs the right, and it seeks symmetry, but sometimes, what appears to be symmetric in one angle is not in another angle.

"Let's say that someone called you lazy, and at first, your feelings are hurt, but you get over it. And maybe you agree with them, what to do? Well, you make a list of all the attributes that make you lazy, one word for every emotion/action that is related to the MOTIVE for being lazy as well as all the other aspects that encompass lazy. After that, you make another list, an exact opposite of terms for the emotions that are related to lazy. And start acting on those opposite terms, if you did your homework and follow through, you will no longer be lazy, ever."

I meant to add, you just have to look those terms up in the dictionary (let's say under LAZY, you came up with a list of: tired, sluggish, bored, uninspired, unfocused), find the definition of the words, even if they are sOoOoO obvious and afterward, look for the antonyms for every term that describes WHAT/WHY you or the other person is ((LAZY)) or ((whatever)) you want to battle. Battles are fought on the opposite side, so you just need to do the exact opposite to get an opposite effect.

You don't even have to consult anyone but a dictionary of antomyms, and with the right motivation, you can overcome a lot of issues just by doing the opposite to gain the exact opposite effect. Not everyone is lazy for the same reasons, that's why introspection on the REASONs why/what/how is important, and this differs from person to person, getting that list and then, looking up the meaning of those terms, no matter how ridiculous it seems, and afterward, completing the list on an opposite side with antomyms for each word. Lastly, if you act on the opposite and are dedicated to it, people won't see "lazy" anymore, and if they do, it's only b/c they are looking at the past or don't want to believe you can improve yourself, and in that case, you have to lose those friends and make new ones, and if they are family members doing that to you, you have to lose those too, and make a new addition to "family", the one that believes in progress or whatever you are about.

I'm a libra,

I'm a Gemini. Need I say more?? 😂
