A Guide For The Argumentative Human
You’re argumentative, confrontational and aggressive. You’re not a bad person, in fact you want to do a lot of good, and hey, you absolutely do a lot of good as well. You’re ambitious and hardworking, you’re constantly after improvement, both self improvement and just improving things in general. You’ve got a case of the A Type Personality Package™.
That’s just you.
The bad traits that come with this package aren’t actually bad per se. You see, these traits have immense power.
Being argumentative should be arguing and standing by what you believe in. The toxic side is arguing every point for the sake of it, which then becomes a pit of closed-minded stubbornness.
Confrontational should mean that you stand up for yourself and not turn belly up when things don’t go your way, not running around picking a fight.
And aggressiveness should relate to healthy competition and resilience, not ripping people apart for countless unfounded reasons.
The thing that makes these traits toxic to you, to your family, friends, and colleagues is immaturity, lack of emotional intelligence and those 5 minutes that you don’t pause before reacting to something.
This doesn’t have to be. And hell, you know deep down that it shouldn’t be. And look, $20 says…
