Oftentimes we will excuse someone’s toxic and unhealthy behavior either because we like them, or because we believe some of what they say or do, or because we are friends with them.
Unfortunately, people who are surrounded by others who excuse, enable, or even celebrate certain behaviors, they may start to believe those behaviors are acceptable, even if they are harmful or unethical.
This phenomenon is a form of social conformity, where individuals adjust their behavior to align with the perceived norms of their group. When a group's norms include questionable or harmful actions, the individual's moral compass can become skewed, making it difficult to recognize the wrongness of their own actions.This normalization can gradually erode an individual's own sense of right and wrong, leading to a distorted perception of acceptable behavior….
Don’t allow the toxic behaviors of others silence you into becoming a passive individual. Continue to stand for what’s right! Continue to set boundaries with these types of behaviors, and if necessary confront it!
Just because someone you’ve always liked is doing it doesn’t mean you should turn a blind eye to it. Don’t ignore the red flag, listen to it! Protect your mind, protect the vulnerable! Protect your heart from becoming complicit to these unhealthy behaviors!
