My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.

Aggressive people do not consider other’s feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them. I once had a neighbor who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next. His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her. Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.
