Compromising Dangers
Compromising & dangerous situations are when a person with differences is struggling and is not coping. This is when their coping mechanisms and abilities are being pushed to the limit.
This occurs after facing several experiences of mental scars from previous excessive negative and very bad situations against a person with differences. This is especially when negative situations have been building up over a while. The examples include when facing injustice or being forced to be helpless when they have lost battles of taking control (such as bullying, emotional abuse through facing hatred discrimination or being socially excluded and forced to be especially alienated, marginalised and socially estranged).
Uncompromising situations can occur when a person with differences has been constantly rejected. Also, this can occur when being underestimated after they admit they are facing mental health, struggling and attempting to seek help before negative situations escalate.
The effects of compromising dangers can affect the visual perceptions appearance of hidden differences including strains on their body language which affect their physical appearance and facial expressions.
It can affect all basic and day to day skills such as reading, communicating and undertaking any practical & physical tasks.
The person could feel be shaky, agitated their eye contact & physical appearance is more different than normal.
