Aggression is a way to deflect thinking from whatever is causing the anxiety. Aggressive people are usually anxious about something and trying to avoid the emotion involved with the anxiety. They strike out at everyone else around them instead of dealing with their emotions. The opposite of aggression is avoidance, where the person refuses to even fact the situation.

Aggression as a defense mechanism involves responding to a threat or stressful situation by using aggressive behavior to protect oneself. It can be a way of warding off perceived dangers or asserting control over a situation to feel safer. However, relying on aggression as a defense mechanism can have negative consequences on relationships and well-being.
