Individualism, which I'm an advocate for just not as rabid as our society has taken it, makes people awful. If you don't temper it when all the qualities you need to participate ans belong to real communities, individualism is toxic. Its like hedonism. If you don't temper non-conformiry and sensation seeking with higher goals for your mental and physical health, your social standing, the quality of your participating in your family or in your ability to rear a child, it's destructive. Hedonism, individualism, consumerism, these are all toxic without self-restraint for higher goals.
