Hostility

Hostility is an attitude or behavior marked by aggression, opposition, or unfriendliness toward others. It often manifests through harsh words, dismissive actions, or even physical harm, driven by negative feelings like anger, resentment, or mistrust. Hostility can strain relationships, create conflicts, and hinder cooperation. It may stem from personal frustrations, perceived threats, or underlying emotional issues. Recognizing hostility involves observing behavior that is deliberately confrontational or dismissive, and addressing it requires understanding its roots while promoting respectful communication and conflict resolution.
