Definition of overaggressive
1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included
adj
-
Overly aggressive; of a personality, action or behavior having excessive aggression.
“An American had meant to him an overaggressive boor; but in this young Morton he found as fine a gentleman as even he could wish for, a man also without the flaws of artificial mannerisms.”
“Aggressiveness is perhaps the quality around which most danger centres—it is the thin ice of salesmanship. The line that divides the spineless man from the bulldog type is not well defined. “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” Likewise’ the overaggressive plunge, when all the rules of salesmanship tell them to tread softly.”
“The attitudes formed at this early stage of life become integral factors of the mature personality. The final result may be either of two types: the submissive, retiring personality, which is a direct expression of a feeling of inferiority, or the overaggressive, dominating personality, which is at bottom only an attempt to escape from inferiority feelings through compensatory activities.”
