Recommended: Behavior control management

The topic of last week’s class made me reflect about my communication style. I consider myself a passive aggressive because it depends on the situation how I react to people. Growing up, I was more aggressive especially with my family. The aggressiveness in me reacts saying harmful stuff to people I care about and when I release the anger I regret the words I said. I remember many situations where I threw things because I was really mad and then regretted breaking the stuff I did. Furthermore I was the person that slams the doors or bangs on them. My passiveness shows up its people that I am not that comfortable with for example, friends and strangers. I don’t know how they will react so I am passive with those people. I guess I have less patience with my siblings and parents. Amongst my siblings I have noticed I am more aggressive with them then other people. But there’s an exception if they really get in my nerves, which is hard to get to that point, they will really get to know who I am. I may be quiet and seem nice but people don’t want to know me mad, I will get people back worse. I have that some times I could be a sneaky person. …show more content…

And I do admit it was the truth, because I would get mad for every thing my parents would say to me. Since I have grown, I noticed that I am calmer; I don’t get mad as easily as before. When I get anger at something I try to get calm first by taking some deep breaths. I have realized that some things are just not worth getting frustrated or mad about. When it comes to being stressed out I am more passive I don’t really like showing that I am stressing out. It depends on the situation whether the passive or aggressive side of me comes

  • Defensive Personality Studied through Personality Psychology Trait Theories

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    A person with a defensive personality may feel as though they are being attacked and to cope with it they need to defend their choice of words and actions when they are dealing with other individuals. My younger sister, Carlee, has a defensive personality. We have the same mother, but different fathers. This caused us to be raised in different situations. She has moved around a lot, going from my dad’s house, to our mom’s house, and to her dad’s house. She did not have a set place where she could call her “home”. Generally, Carlee is a good kid and listens, and does not argue too much. However, as siblings usually do, there are quarrels between us. She will get overly defensive and extremely furious very easily. She overreacts to the littlest comments, and actions. To discuss her defensive trait, I will be discussing personality psychology trait theories by Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson.

    Writing is a process I’ve grown to despise. Ever since grade school, I’ve had problems trying to express my ideas on paper. My writing process involves thinking about what’s being asked and trying to reflect my thoughts the best way I can on paper, but my thoughts don’t always come out as clear as I want them to be sometimes leaving a question not fully answered. My writing process isn’t a consistent set in stone process, but since being in ENC 1101 I always follow some of the same parameters such as revising my drafts, grammar usage and considering context and audience.

    My behavior has definitely changed since I was younger. When I was young I was uptight, a tattletale, a teachers pet, and immature. Now as time has gone on I have grown out of those immature ways. I have adapted some into social acceptable forms as well. For example, the teacher’s pet now just wants to have open communication and understanding with my teachers. Another behavior that I have modified to make acceptable is being uptight. This behavior I have molded into my organizational pattern of daily life. This “uptightness” has turned to wanting my room, materials, and self to be organized and having everything be correct to the best of my abilities. As I got older throughout high school and college I feel that my behavior has become more stable. I become “predictable” in what I do because I have reached a level of stability that is comfortable, and continues to help me progress through daily life.
