Toxic People Who Love Pushing Your Buttons | Watch Out For Toxic Parents Too
298"Baiting" is the psychological process by which an individual does things out of spite or engages in behaviors that they know will trigger you to react to them in unhealthy ways.
They hope for a reaction that will either result in your own personal or professional loss, or they hope that you will act out of character.
In the end, the ultimate goal is to create a toxic exchange or environment that will undermine you and possibly even cause you to lose your credibility.
Toxic people function best when they have someone to blame and control.
Baiting is a toxic tactic that people may use when they are on the narcissistic spectrum, the antisocial personality spectrum, and even with disturbed and toxic parents.
Join me Friday at 7:00 p.m. est. as I discuss disturbed parents and toxic family dynamics.
