Many factors can influence human behavior. These can include childhood trauma and experiences, environmental factors, family constellation, and genetics, which can all impact our temperament development and self-worth. Even under ideal conditions while growing up, exposure to toxic human behavior, when no longer protected by the haven of our family environment, can wreak havoc on a person and influence their behavior. Notwithstanding psychological and personality disorders, the reasons for toxic behaviors can range from trauma responses, insecurity, lack of character or values, meanness, or the driving need to “get even” for perceived past wrongs – entitlement. For the protection and preservation of our well-being, we are best served to know the “what” others are capable of that can impact us over the “why.” Unless we are closely connected with the individual, learning the why can take time and investment, usually requiring transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability, which are unfortunately rarely embraced or leveraged. Protecting yourself and your mental health should be a top priority, like defensive driving, always remaining alert, and anticipating that other drivers may be prone to unexpected behaviors at any moment, providing you time to engage in (emotionally) evasive maneuvers to remain out of harm's way.
