Hostility is like when you have a stormy cloud inside you. Imagine how a storm makes the sky dark and windy, and sometimes it rains really hard. When someone feels hostility, they might feel like they have a storm inside them, making them act in a way that is not very nice or friendly. They might say mean words or make a grumpy face, just like how a storm can be loud and scary.
Think of hostility as a prickly cactus. A cactus has sharp spikes that can hurt if you touch them. When someone is feeling hostile, it’s like they have invisible spikes that make it hard for others to get close. They might act in a way that pushes people away, even if they don’t mean to.
Hostility can also be like a tangled knot in a string. When a string has a knot, it’s hard to make it straight and smooth. Hostility can make feelings all mixed up and tangled, making it hard for someone to feel calm and peaceful. Just like untangling a knot takes time and patience, helping someone feel less hostile can take some time and care.
