Social sabotage

Social sabotage refers to behaviors or actions that intentionally undermine or damage someone’s reputation, relationships, or social standing. It can involve spreading false information, excluding others, or subtly hurting someone’s credibility, often for personal gain or out of malice. This form of sabotage disrupts trust and cooperation within a community or group, leading to emotional distress and fractured relationships. Recognizing social sabotage is important for maintaining healthy social environments, and addressing it requires awareness, honesty, and often proactive communication to rebuild trust and support positive interactions.
