Some of the traits that have many negative perceptions are aggressiveness, judgment, and shyness. Aggressiveness is tended to be perceived as negative, but in a situation when our self is threatened, aggressiveness in such a scenario helps us to prevent others from harming us. Aggression is thought to be innate in humans, implying that the potential to be hostile toward others, at least under some circumstances, is part of our basic personality.
