Rage-Bait in Relationships | If Not Love, Then Fight? | The Psychology of Disconnection & Inner Work

In this conversation, we explore a pattern we see everywhere - online, in comment sections, and often in our closest relationships: rage-baiting. Why do people knowingly hit where it hurts? Why provoke someone’s insecurities when you understand exactly what will trigger them? Why escalate conflict and then almost seem to enjoy the chaos that follows? We talk about the uncomfortable truth beneath it... deep disconnection. When someone isn’t connected within themselves, or doesn’t feel emotionally connected to the people around them, even negative reactions can start to feel like connection. If not love, then fight. If not closeness, then jealousy. If not understanding, then control. But is that really connection? We also unpack the difference between healthy arguments that lead to growth and destructive conflict that exists simply to generate reaction. When we argue just to win, wound, or provoke, what are we actually building? This conversation turns toward awareness and inner work, because real connection cannot be forced externally. It is cultivated internally first. When you are disconnected from yourself, you cannot truly connect with others. And when you begin reconnecting within, the need for chaos starts to fall away.
