Normal cortisol levels are essential for your body, not only glucose metabolism but behavior. Glucocorticoids make you extremely aggressive, if you ever had to take corticosteroids for medical reasons you would know they make you want to rip someone's throat out. Moreso than androgens besides absurd things like methyltren, cheque drops and such and that's just because of their potency (I'm sure if you took an analogous dose of dexamethasone you would murder someone). Having low cortisol would not make you more "low inhibition", if anything it would make you less so, and you would have no energy and too much inflammation in the body (tren blocks the GC receptor and causes "tren cough" which is caused by inflammation in the lungs, this is what happens when you have LOW GC activity). JFL this site is so retarded sometimes.
the anabolic-androgenic steroid halotestin (fluoxymesterone), the most infamous for causing aggression, inhibits an important enzyme responsible metabolism of glucocorticoids, i.e. it RAISES cortisol and similar hormones in the blood by preventing them from being broken down:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors descend from an ancestral corticoid receptor, which is extremely old, older than all mammals, it's a very ancient evolutionary pathway that is intimately linked with aggressive behavior in animals. The only reason you see an inverse association between cortisol and aggression in some studies is it can inhibit androgen production and you have to see how cortisol changes throughout puberty like in the study I linked above. Low baseline cortisol can mean more androgen production and more aggression but those who experience the greatest increase in cortisol experience the greatest increases in aggressive behavior. It's not so simple.
However low cortisol also causes aggression just like high cortisol by making you irritable, but you're not going to become some low T slayer by somehow lowering your cortisol. If you were genuinely "high cortisol" you wouldn't be a "cuck", you would be moody, angry, and full of rage.

Hormone cortisol linked to increased aggression in 10-year-old boys
Spanish researchers have studied the relationship between hormones and aggressive behaviour in girls and boys between the ages of eight and ten. The results confirm that the subjects who experienced the greatest increase in levels of aggression by ten years of age were those whose cortisol...

The anabolic androgenic steroid fluoxymesterone inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2-dependent glucocorticoid inactivation - PubMed
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are testosterone derivatives used either clinically, in elite sports, or for body shaping with the goal to increase muscle size and strength. Clinically developed compounds and nonclinically tested designer steroids often marketed as food supplements are widely...
