Discussion The optimal environment to thrive in

[Tabula Rasa]

it’s important to be in an environment whereby you can realise your potential as an individual. Whether you have to find this kind of environment or create it on your own. A poor environment can negatively impact your state of mind, leave you languishing.

Yeah, to be born in a nuclear family is the best upbringing. If you weren't raised in one, you're gigga fucked unfortunately tbhonest.

The environment always influences the formation of the individual, and if someone suffers abuse, that negatively affects a large part of your life, it will affect your social skills and the way you relate to people.

Can vouch for this. I always wanted a proper dad, but I was instead given a piece of shit father who doesn't even associate with me anymore, ever since he found his abo wife. It's definitely affected the way I've grown up and my behaviour. I've seen this among other people my age, too.
I'd also like to add that having grown up in an incredibly hard-working family on my mother's side, and seeing my closest relatives still get nowhere despite working their arses off (my mum, maternal grandparents, and even to some extent my full-sister), has possibly influenced my NEET condition. I probably would have roped by now had I not received disabilitybux. Seeing my family struggle to make ends meet despite working constantly has implanted in my mind that working gets you nowhere, and thus you shouldn't do it. I think that makes sense, right? I dunno, I just woke up.
But like @Tabula Rasa said in the OP, being raised in an environment where you can realise your potential is important. Despite my complaining in this post, I was raised in an environment, at least at school, where I could harbour and hone my writing skills once my talent was recognised by a local children's author. If it wasn't for my writing skills being recognised by those around me, I don't think I'd have any positive outlook on life and I'd just be content on rotting for the rest of my life. I now know that, with my writing talents, I have the ability to turn it into a career and (hopefully) make a positive impact on the world, or at least the world of literature. I always did have ambitions to make an impact on the world, negative or positive.
Anyhow. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

TL;DR: I can vouch that abuse will always lead to poor behaviour and a disordered life unless proper measures are taken. But also that being raised in a positive environment where you can hone skills and potential talents you may have is extremely important to your outlook on life in general.
Basically, environments from a young age affect so damn much.

I was wondering if you could expand and explain more on this, because this is one topic that should be expanded upon and pinned.

I kind of wrote this on a whim but I'll try expand more upon it in the future.

Please do, it gave me some ideas and if together we work on this topic we can build an optimal environment.

Alright. When I was writing this, I meant it more broadly, not just in terms of this forum.
