Align Goals to Minimize Drama

Maintaining alignment in relationships is crucial for reducing drama and conflict. Misalignment can lead individuals to subconsciously foster drama to undermine each other's goals. This creates a toxic dynamic where one person feels threatened by the other's success, leading to undermining behaviors. The perception of toxicity often arises from such misalignment rather than inherent negativity. An effective strategy to evaluate relationships is to consider whether they support personal goals; if not, they may not be conducive to growth or happiness.
