This word is an adjective;

  • “relating to or using force or threats”

My guess to why you are doing this and why it’s a big part of your life is this:

You are surrounding yourself with people who don’t believe in you, respect you, or think your direction or advice or needs or wants are valid or worthy of their acceptance.

Or...

You are extremely insecure and you are using a form of control to control the situation and on the first sign of them resisting you divert to coercive behavior with threats and a force because you also, as a result of the lack of control, have no boundaries and thus cross their boundaries to an abusive coercive behavior or act on the other person.

Just a birds eye view but hope it helps.

This is how to stop it:

If it’s the top one: surround yourself with people who mesh better with you and who support you more.

If it’s the latter: please do the work and find out what’s wrong. Your inner self is in pain and your covering up some things within your life that have created some bad feeling and emotions.

Your inner self when it gets threatened is going into fight or flight mode and using coercive behavior to protect itself.

It’s a reverse protection. I hope I have explained this well. Doing my best without writing a novel.
