Vacations are fun. They can also be enlightening, if you allow yourself to know yourself. You can pay attention to and learn from how you behave under stress on vacations.
You also learn how others behave under stress on vacations. This can be useful when deciding which people to spend time with.
People can make the wrong choice about who to spend time with. This is unfortunate, but it happens to the best of us. The best way to prevent spending time with toxic people is to familiarize yourself with toxic behaviors, such as yelling, lying, and gaslighting, which is when someone presents an alternate version of reality than the truth.
Vacations are often stressful. This allows any toxic behaviors to become obvious. Watch out for these, and avoid people who display them.
