Other types of toxic traits could be maladaptive perfectionism, pathological lying and unhealthy competition. Apart from these, the toxic person may even allow their insecurities to bring out their most destructive traits.
ii) Lack of self-awareness:
Individuals who lack self-awareness sometimes fail to see the harm they do to others. They might not also be aware of a healthy way of communication.
