[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be a lot of things, but aggressive/nasty people just remind me of aggressive/nasty dogs. There isn't something wrong with them, but people always hurt them (or have hurt them) so they have a "fight face" on and have to lash out first. They have the attitude of dogs who were forced to fight.

Cut them off, and find people who have the attitude of a golden retriever loafing around in a pile of leaves. [/quote]

Primitive people = primitive behavior, OP. [/quote]

Nature + nurture comes into play here too.[/quote]

Sometimes there is something wrong with them actually. They may have brains that are structured in a certain way which makes impulse control difficult for example.

Yes, that is definitely a nature thing. But even people that have things chemically off can obtain treatment to live with their disability without hurting their relationships. But yes, i would think the exceptions to that might be someone with a severe form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or a sociopath or serial killer. I've never really think much about the possibility that people *can't* change. I usually consider it as someone unwilling to, not literally incapable of it.

You make a good point to keep in mind. [/quote]

Well sociopaths might change their behavior, but an in with them often has to be because it is in their best interest, that they get something out of changing their behavior (e.g. staying out of jail, partner not divorcing them and taking their money). They are not necessarily changing out of remorse for something they did or wanting to be a better person or valuing growth. Change has to be because they get something they want. That can motivate them.[/quote]
