Why do people throw tantrums?
Temper tantrums are a negative trait and is either environmentally-induced or is genetic. Clinical Psychologist and Trauma Expert, Seema Hingorrany informs, “Tantrum throwing is a personality trait that either develops genetically or is the result of any bullying, witnessing poor parental behaviour or any suppressed frustration that comes to fore every now and then.” She adds that people who are suffering from this condition, throw tantrums over everything and especially when they don’t get what they want. “The thought-processing of such people is very weak,” says Hingorrany.
