People who don’t want the best for you often try to bring out the worst in you. These individuals, whether consciously or unconsciously, seek to undermine your confidence, self-worth, or happiness by provoking negative emotions and reactions. They may do this through criticism, manipulation, or by pushing your buttons in ways that cause frustration, anger, or self-doubt.
Their motivation is usually rooted in insecurity, jealousy, or a desire for control. Instead of supporting your growth and well-being, they feel threatened by your success or contentment. By triggering negative responses, they can shift the focus away from their own issues and make you appear unstable or reactive. This allows them to maintain a sense of superiority or control in the relationship.
It’s important to recognise this behaviour and not fall into the trap of reacting impulsively. When someone intentionally tries to bring out your worst, responding calmly and setting clear boundaries is crucial. Surrounding yourself with people who uplift and encourage you is equally important, as it helps to counteract the negativity.
Ultimately, the way others treat you often reflects their own inner struggles. By staying grounded and refusing to engage in their manipulative tactics, you maintain your power and protect your peace.
