Fear
I was reflecting how many of the behaviors we don't understand about other people are the manifestation of fear. I have been paying attention to this over the past months: so every time I am puzzled by an annoying behavior, a surprising reaction that is different from what I expected, I am exploring this theory. For example when I encounter people being rude, aggressive, or pushy; when I meet someone that is showing off, or building walls around him or herself, putting a distance with others. When someone is trying to put himself above others, or ridiculizes others... I wonder if this is not a simple reaction to feeling fear. The interesting thing is that as I think of it this way, it changes my visceral reaction to them too.

Isabel, I can relate to the word "fear" and how it reflects to the many actions and behaviors deriving from it.
I have just finished conducting a weekend program that help single adults (ages ranging from 25 to 35) to be more aware of the many choices they have in their relationships with others in their journey in life. The 45 participants (both sexes) revealed that the many challenges and struggles in their relationships with their loved ones and associates at their work places is primarily related to fear. This fear manifests a sense of "insecurity, low self esteem, defensiveness, non-sensitivity, aggressiveness, non-forgiveness etc." In all, fear is the blockage that prevents them from belonging to a relationship.
