Straggressive

Straggressive (adj.)

A coined term and portmanteau of stressed and aggressive, describing behavior that comes from overwhelm rather than intent—irritability, sharpness, or impatience caused by stress, pressure, or burnout.

Straggressive behavior isn’t rooted in hostility, but in nervous system overload that spills outward.

“Sorry if that came off straggressive—it’s been a long day.”
“That tone felt straggressive, not malicious
