This study examines the level of toxic disinhibition among teachers and its implications for students’ career guidance services. The research was motivated by the importance of teachers’ communication quality in supporting students’ career development and maintaining healthy social interactions. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving 30 teachers from various regions of Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire on aspects of the online disinhibition effect and analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that 53.3% of teachers were in the low category of toxic disinhibition, 36.7% were in the moderate category, and 10% were in the high category. The study concludes that most teachers demonstrate good self-control in social interactions and highlights the importance of strengthening communication competence and emotional regulation in career guidance services.
