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 and be super
critical or try to overpower others.
▪ When this happens, the person will not normally be even aware
what is driving their unkindness. It is normally subconscious.
