Identity and aggression occupy the same degree, and the native cannot tell assertion from selfhood. To be talked out of something feels like being talked out of existing. Such people are physically forward: they walk fast, interrupt, take the heavy end of the furniture, and are usually the first into a cold sea. Courage is not summoned, it is simply present. Childhood generally features an early reputation for being a handful, and a good deal of the adult character is built around either defending or apologising for that reputation.
The trouble is the missing pause. Anger arrives at full volume with no warning stage, and the native has no experience of being mildly annoyed, so small provocations produce responses out of all proportion. Apologies are sincere and frequent. Accidents, burns, scars and broken bones accumulate on the body as a record of decisions taken half a second early. In work the native is excellent at beginnings and poor at the long middle, and tends to leave the finishing to someone with more patience and less appetite.
This conjunction wants a discipline rather than a cure. Sport, soldiering, surgery, the kitchen, any craft that rewards decisive physical action and punishes carelessness will house it well; sedentary work with unclear objectives will not, and the native in such a post becomes an office difficulty. The people who manage the contact best have found something legitimate to fight, and they age better than their friends because the appetite keeps them moving. Those who have not spend their forties furious at circumstances and unable to say why.
