Is it normal to feel agressive when threatened?

100% Normal
12 Comments

I realised I tend to become quite agressive when feeling threatened. For instance if a dog charges at me or a sea snake snaps its jaws or a monkey shows its teeth I feel the urge to attack instead of stepping back. Same when being direcly menaced by humans (but that's quite rare). Ultimately I manage to control my feelings and walk away but I still worry whether this urge is something natural (like an instict) or more of a personal trait?

    Im the same way with those dogs. Runnijg from them can be useless. When they charge me ill be like "HEY!!!" and stomp my foot and walk towards them. Usually they just look at me like "wtf" and start barking. One time a dog attacked anyway. I tried punching it in the face a few times and accidentally punched its tooth and fucked my shit all up. Had to get stitches and rabies shots in my stomach.

    When I delivered packages I had to deal with crazy dogs daily. I hate the owners that let their pitbulls run loose. If my child got bit by someones dog id definitely shoot it.

      I was about to ask why you're so frequently confronted by pissed off dogs until I read the last bit. If a dog ever manages to get you down, just break their leg. It's really easy to snap their legs and it's more effective than punching them.

        I started carrying pepper spray which was against company policy. I pepper sprayed one dog LOL. Im glad the owner didnt see I probably would have gotten in a lot of trouble.

      Well, I think that if I had a gun I'd shoot them anyway

    It's called fight-or-flight for a reason.
