How would you honestly like to react to verbal aggressiveness?
Verbal aggression sets me off. When somebody goes off on me my honest response is that I want to slap them and walk away. I don't internally react well to aggression, so I automatically assume the worst and react in a very negative way.
What do you usually do instead?
Instead of going off the deep end, I usually try to remain calm and not say anything until I know something vile won't come out of my mouth. From there, it really depends on what is being said to me. Sometimes I just agree and say "okay" to get the argument over, sometimes I understand where the aggression is coming from and try to compromise, sometimes I come up with a new solution to a problem, and other times I just stop and cry out of frustration.
