Some people can't see the wrong in their actions… because they surround themselves with people who normalize it.
And this is honestly one of the most overlooked reasons why toxic behavior keeps cycling through people's lives. It's not always that they don't care. Sometimes it's that they genuinely don't see it as a problem — because everyone around them is doing the exact same thing and nobody is challenging it.
Think about it. If you grow up around people who lie casually, manipulate without thinking twice, and treat others as disposable — that becomes your baseline. That becomes normal. Nobody in that circle is going to sit down and say "hey, what you're doing is actually harmful." They're too busy doing the same thing themselves. So the behavior just keeps getting passed around and reinforced like it's completely acceptable.
Protecting your peace was never about them seeing the wrong. It was about you finally seeing it for yourself.
