Ready, Aim, RAGE - Who does your toxic target?

NB: This definitely isn't an academic work! I'm trying to describe a spectrum of general toxic behavior-- not every N / toxic does all of these things consistently. (And of course, the note about bigotry isn't limited to people with PDs.) 

Description: Red target symbol with a yellow arrow at its center.

Do they yell at anyone, any time, who pisses them off-- including store managers, co-workers, cops, neighbors, teachers (and of course, you)? Are they prone to sudden, intense fits of emotion, apparently out of nowhere? 

• This kind of toxic can be dangerous because they don't seem to be in control of themselves-- and because they'll go after anyone who sets them off, regardless of their relative positions of power.
• If they're willing to show what they're really like right out in public, they're not going to hesitate to do the same, or worse, in private. Protect yourself. 

Do they only yell at people who have less power than they do (cashiers, enabling family members, and again, you), and behave themselves around their boss, neighbors, counselors, etc? 

• This kind of toxic can be dangerous because they have enough self-control to know that throwing a tantrum in public makes them look like the crazy one. 
• They may target people who they believe can't fight back, or who they perceive to be generally considered beneath them. They may also be more prone to bigotry, especially against classes who seem vulnerable due to race, sexuality, and so on. 

Do they behave themselves beautifully in public, speaking kindly to everyone-- from neighbors to extended family, from people they randomly encounter to staff members in stores-- and save their hatefulness for home? 

• This kind of toxic can be dangerous because they're so very, very good at convincing everyone that they're genuinely kind, compassionate people. 
• They may also be really, really invested in their self-image-- as a perfect person, for example-- and if that's challenged, then all hell can break loose.

When you're dealing with a toxic person, please remember that you're not to blame for their behavior. Toxics need targets-- no matter what we do or say, they'll find some reason to mistreat us.
