Cute aggression is a fascinating psychological response where intense positive emotions are expressed in seemingly contradictory ways. It's a dimorphous emotion, meaning you feel overwhelming affection but express it with playful "aggressive" urges, like wanting to squeeze or "smush" something. Think of it like crying when you're incredibly happy. Scientists believe it's the brain's way of handling an overload of positive emotions. When something is too cute, the "aggressive" impulse might act as an emotional counterbalance, preventing you from being incapacitated by those strong feelings so you can still care for the cute being.
