Driven to meet needs:

▪ We are wired for survival.

▪ When our needs are not met well, we may be

driven to meet our needs in any way possible.

▪ This may not be in very helpful ways.

▪ For example, if a person does not feel they count

or are very important, they may show off, put

other people down or try to overpower others.

▪ When this happens, the person may not be even

be aware what is driving their unkindness:

it is normally subconscious.
