3. ๐ผ Power Dynamics: In professional and personal spheres, power imbalances can contribute to hurtful actions. Competition, jealousy, or a desire for control may fuel negative interactions.
4. โ๏ธ Misguided Self-Preservation: Sometimes, individuals may hurt others in an attempt to protect themselves emotionally or psychologically, albeit misguided in their methods.
