Pessimistic Freud

I don't know if I would necessarily say he is a pessimist, yes it SOUNDS horrible at 1st but look at personal experiences and it does explain a lot

Just my personal opinion here but whenever we do have friendships or relationships people aren't 100% compatible and generally there are things about that other person that tend to annoy us or at least some behavior we might not approve of. Hell sometimes there is just the mood when you are being very supportive of your group of people for a while but don't impose yourself on your circle because you had JUST helped them and they might not be stable enough to give their support without essentially going down in flames with you. SO you deal with your own stresses by yourself which, as one of the examples brought up, might come from someone more powerful then youself, like a boss, prof or other person you can't really say or do much to get rid of your aggression...other then maybe complaining to your group of people later.

Simply because we have aggression and need to suppress emotions or impulses doesn't necessarily make it pessimist, just simply a matter of life...I could be angry and testy because of home stuff but that wouldn't excuse me snapping at another person so I would need to suppress it or use a defense mechanism as to not damage my relationships with people or society at large. Now if we were to say we WANT to be angry and aggressive, kill people and loot like it was "The Purge", yeah that's a dark view of humanity and I would ask if they read Hobbs "Leviathan".

 But to simply say "hey, we repress stuff, and if we don't deal with them, well, then you will most likely take it out on other people so keep a look out for em", its an open invitation for us to look into ourselves and be alright if we find some things are messed up in there, or if we aren't sure, we are social irrational beings after all and that's alright. Its something we can all work on together

At least that's how I'm reading it anyway
