Are you feeling aggressive today? Having an aggressive personality isn't exactly something to aim for, as it will mostly just drive others away. However, there are some situations where you feel you've had enough and want to show a small part of your dark side, just to warn people and make them realize that there is a limit to everything.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Show your stubbornness
Step 1. Be determined
This means going to great lengths to complete an assignment successfully. Be extremely decisive, it is essential to get the job done.
Don't take "no" or "not now" as an answer. Dab people with comments like "why not?" and "why not now?" and "I want it done now!" Don't be lenient
Step 2. Know when to say "no"
If you really don't like doing something, then don't do it! Being aggressive means being able to resist, and respond negatively to inappropriate requests.
If someone you don't like touches you, yell "No!" There is no time to argue, you just made it clear that you are not available
Step 3. Make it clear when you are not interested in something or what people have to say
If someone tells you something you don't care about, just tell them.
Method 2 of 2: Fight for yourself
Step 1. Make people understand that it will not be possible to take advantage of you
Be confident, and don't let anything upset you.
Step 2. Make sure your feelings are taken into consideration
Let people know clearly how you feel. If they treat you unfairly, respond harshly by expressing how you feel. Others should care about your feelings.
Step 3. Let people know what you think
Why go around and tell little lies when you can just get to the point and do what you have to. If someone ever tells you something you don't like, respond by saying "I don't like what you just said!"
Step 4. Confront those who try to discredit or judge you
If someone corrects you, give them a dirty look. A glance can put a person back in his place.
If someone asks you why you are so aggressive, respond by saying "I'm not. Mind your own business!"
