A small percentage of high conflict individuals contribute disproportionately to societal issues and personal struggles. A key insight is to establish protocols in relationships, such as refraining from significant commitments within the first year, to mitigate the influence of these toxic individuals.

The majority of people tend to be healthy, and awareness of the manipulative tactics used by the minority can empower individuals to navigate their interactions more effectively.
