We are German. And as such, we are always self-conscious about getting angry in public.

fern, Why German Sounds So Agressive
The German language is a West Germanic language in the 
Indo-European language family, mainly spoken in Western and Central Europe. This language is the most spoken native language within the 
European Union.
The main countries that speak this language would be 
Germany, 
Austria, 
Liechtenstein and 
Switzerland and they all have German as an official language. Other countries could include 
Belgium and 
Luxembourg, because they also have German as an official language, but have their own languages as well.
History
The first recordings of Germanic languages comes from the 1st century BC, from the 
Roman Empire's interaction with the 
Germanic peoples.
Locations Spoken In
German is primarily spoken in Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
Germany is the largest German-speaking country, where Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is the official language. Nearly 100 million people in Germany speak German as their native language, making it the most populous German-speaking nation. It makes sense, cause yknow, “Germany” and “German”…
Grammar & Spelling
German is known for its complex grammar, including a strong system of inflection, four noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative), and three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter). German vocabulary includes many compound words and a rich array of dialects varying by region. Its alphabet uses the Latin script with the addition of the character "ß" (Eszett or sharp S) and umlauted vowels (ä, ö, ü).
Cultural Impact
German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and has significant cultural and historical importance, influencing many fields such as philosophy, literature, science, and music.
In Pop Culture
German sounds very aggressive to most people, due to the language's spellings, accents, and 
Hitler's influence from his speeches. This has been popularized through pop culture, where German is often portrayed in stereotypically harsh or militaristic contexts, especially in memes, films, television, and video games. Plus, movie industries’ portrayal of German characters, especially in WWII-related content, has reinforced the association of the language with 
authoritarianism or aggression.
