SELF-DEFENSE; SUB-PRINCIPLE: Redirected Aggression

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

About emotional understanding of others especially when out of nowhere and for no apparent reason another human being goes off on you, i.e., redirected aggression is when a person who has experienced some type of event or person that spurs anger or fear is unable to direct their aggressive response toward the source so ends up taking that anger, fear and/or frustration out on you when stimulated in some way such as bumping into them and spilling their drink. 

This is one of those examples that spells out the dangers inherent in the social aggressive conflict where men seeking status, ego stroking and other testerone monkey business tend to get into situations that can lead to violence - in other words, fighting. 

Taking notice when redirected aggression comes your way and taking appropriate steps to avoid it or deescalate it is self-defense. If you can rein in your own monkey who is going to be triggered into some smart ass retort, simply say, “Sorry,” and then leave goes a long way to avoid this type of thing. This is worth pursuing in self-defense training.
