Why is shaming a toxic behavior and how does it happen.
According to the Oxford dictionary definition, ‘shaming’ occurs when you make someone feel ashamed. This occurs by constantly making bad remarks on people who are trying to start up their business. Shaming is actually one of the toxic behaviors that set back society and one of the reasons why people are afraid to start something new and reinvent themselves. Feeling ashamed comes with feeling guilty in the mind for doing something that is different from the norms of society.
Media mostly is frequently used as a tool to mad people afraid of trying something new. While other people may find it fun to hold others back by shaming them, they do not realize that they are actually doing harm and not helping the situation.
Shaming is pretty much, a toxic trait and people should learn to refrain from such behavior. Let us be supportive of our brothers and sisters hustling because at the end of the day we all want the soft life. We need people like Boity to educate society on how to hustle, shaming people like her is not a good idea for society.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT on how you feel about shaming and Boity standing up for herself against the bullies.
