I have a tendency to dismiss people who exhibit toxic behaviors. On one hand these people stress me out quite a lot and I hate confrontation, but on the other, I often have to interact with the same person time and time again. No one can see themselves clearly, we need each other to act as mirrors. Toxic behaviors often stem from either trauma or lacking a basic need. These are notably difficult to alter without professional support, but, at the very least a person can be informed about how they are impacting those around them. I want to make society a less stressful place to live in, so instead of silently feeling anger and discomfort, I choose to speak up and voice my needs.
