7 destructive types of human behavior, from which it is better to get rid of

 

    Destructive behavior is a manifestation of anti-social traits, inadequate behavior in society, manipulation, insults and other things.

Alas, destructive behavior is often not as noticeable as psychologists write about it, but even the slightest manifestation is cause for reflection. Here are seven types of behavior that can be called destructive.

1. Gaslighting

Being gaslighting, it means to inspire someone that he has problems with his memory, head, health, although in fact there are no problems. the principle is built on an old Russian proverb: If you tell a man forty times that he is a fool, he will believe it and become one.

The essence is the same: if you constantly hint to the person that he is unhealthy, you push him to a distorted perception of reality.

2. Projection

Projection is when you shift your blame onto someone else, and you start to believe it yourself. When you are not a bad worker, but your boss is. When it's not your fault, but you just did as you were advised.

So cheaters become suspicious of their wives, liars believe that everyone around them is lying to them.

3. Labeling

Alas, this is common to many: think, decide, mark. Sometimes the point about "thought" is omitted altogether. Before you say something about a person, a book, a film, an object - get to know, read, watch, study!

4. Change of subject as a way to avoid responsibility.

Many people use this technique, and it is also destructive. Of course, it is very convenient to get away from the answer, just by "changing the record," but it should not become a habit.

5. Manipulation

Manipulation in any form is destructive behavior, especially if it is aggressive in nature, "if you do not do what I want, then...".

In other words, when ultimatums are sounded, it is an attempt to take away your right to your own opinion. Such people seek to teach others to fear the consequences of any disagreement with them or non-compliance with their demands.

6. Insults

Insults are reserved for those who lack the capacity to find other ways to express their opinions. In other words, they come into play when they run out of arguments.

7. Triangulation

This is the phenomenon where people bring third parties into an argument to assert their point of view. So that the person doubts: since "everyone" thinks so, maybe I really am not right?
