Environmental factors also play a role in triggering explosive reactions. Overstimulation from noise, crowded spaces or chaotic environments can overwhelm an individual, reducing their ability to cope with stress calmly. Maintaining a calm and organized environment can help mitigate these triggers and promote emotional stability.
