Aggression. Running in a vicious circle of the unconscious
Where does the surge of aggressiveness come from? Why does aggression take an extremely obscene form among people who are sometimes not of the lowest social level and, it would seem, are sufficiently educated?
How often can we observe the usual picture: two people, having quarreled over an insignificant reason, arrange a "showdown"! It all starts with offensive shouts in the language of profanity, and there it is already close to cuffs. Where does such a surge of aggressiveness come from? Why does aggression take an extremely obscene form among people who are sometimes not of the lowest social level and, it would seem, are sufficiently educated?
And teenagers of a prestigious college fight, university students grab each other by the hair, and State Duma deputies arrange spectacular massacres. Let's try to understand this issue from the point of view not of the philistine, but on the basis of modern psychology.
So, aggressiveness - what are its true origins? Let's agree right away - we will not consider cases when a reasonably tough response to an external attack is dictated by the necessary protection of life and health and does not go beyond the scope of acceptable self-defense. We consider precedents for the non-professional gaze that seem to be sudden, spontaneous manifestations of the wildest aggression, which at the same time is expressed in an inappropriate form. And there are plenty of such cases.
An attack of aggression in any period of time can strike a person who is outwardly healthy, whom the environment is used to seeing in the normal status of communication. So, a candidate of sciences who left the institute, who in other states is not averse to talking about the decline of morals and enjoying classical music, suddenly (as if suddenly!), To complete surprise for himself, bursts out with a thunderous stream of "boot" mat against an innocent operator, who asked him her standard question on duty. A day later, he himself wonders what happened to him. In extreme cases, developers of unexpected aggression end up in dispensaries. I remember my university practice in a psychiatric hospital and one of the patients was an elderly woman. Prior to that, all her quiet adult life, she carefully performed simple office work,and once on the street she suddenly (as if suddenly!) severely beat a bystander who accidentally pushed her.
As if sudden, as if unconditioned aggression - any lightest influence from the external environment can serve as a trigger for its operation, like the last drop that overflows the internal volume of the dark, spilled from people at risk of aggressiveness. This volume in the inner mental space is filled with unconscious suffering buried in the deep layers of the psyche. They are difficult to understand in the absence of elementary psychological literacy. The carriers of destructive aggression themselves, often before the first attack, and even more often after relapses, unfortunately, do not in any way consider themselves to be a mentally disadvantaged part of society. They do not take any measures for psychological self-education, they are in the labyrinth of the unconscious, which guides their way of life.
In each case, even if the manifestations are the same on the surface - screams, swearing, up to physical violence, the causes of negative aggressive behavior can be differentiated according to the principles of modern System-Vector Psychology. She distinguishes between systemic psychotypes and their corresponding life scenarios. Of the eight psychotypes and their many combinations, in principle, any one is capable of displaying aggressiveness, but this aggressiveness will be different.
The conditions of propensity for aggressive behavior that are common for all vector psychotypes are two fundamental factors. Firstly, this is the underdevelopment of the character in childhood and the transition period in his specific properties set from birth, which are given to each individual for survival. And secondly, lack of fulfillment in an adult state in its main properties. Even if they were developed in the pre-pubertal (before puberty) period, each failed type can "corner" the gift given to him by nature of receiving joy from life, joy through the realization of his destiny.
The causes and consequences of each of these factors differ depending on which system-vector psychotype, in this case, the "aggressors of the human race" we are considering. And under the tip of the iceberg of aggressiveness, there may be a hidden trigger, for example:
- anger from material losses and pathological envy in the negative state of some, and therefore the inability to limit oneself in the manifestation of antisocial aggressiveness;
- revenge and sadism among carriers of the type of the past, who, in especially difficult conditions, show pathological cruelty, and in the presence of softening properties of other vectors and a certain cultural level, they manifest mental sadism verbally, i.e. humiliate and destroy by word;
- the rage of others - the owners of the psychotype to which it is characteristic, in their developed and realized state are peaceful to the point of monotony, and in a state of aggressive rage they vandalize and sweep away everything in their path.
And so on, i.e. the reasons for aggressiveness are different in different psychotypes. You can learn more about each psychotype on the Yuri Burlan portal on System-Vector Psychology: www.yburlan.ru. The first bursts of aggressiveness, which are signals of psychological distress and stress, and which the body can no longer cope with, can be corrected before they have degenerated into mental illness. But for this you need to become aware of your inner unconscious, your natural psychological type and your inner innate properties.
The destructive energy of aggression, as we often see, not only burns out relationships in the family, with friends, colleagues, but also drives a person further into a run in a vicious circle of unconscious existence. It is possible to transform this energy by getting rid of psychological illiteracy. A person has already gone into outer space for 50 years and habitually uses the achievements of high technologies in everyday life, his intellectual knowledge about the material side of the physical world has reached great heights. Unfortunately, with all this, our society practically without exception needs a psychological educational program, instilling the skills of elementary psychohygiene, both personal and social.
