What kind of structure is that ?

That boasting and self-esteem by some, however, can mean negative feelings for others

All I am confused is the middle, however
As a English learner , I always encounter the structure like this but I never know what is it about and why used that way
If I do not get it wrong, is it the same as
"However, That boasting and self-esteem by some can mean negative feelings for others"

It would be great if you guys could explain this structure to me
Also, is it suitable for both formal and informal on writing?
Thanks and sorry for my poor English

Yeah it is a completed sentence,I found it from Time,here is the detail:
That boasting and self-esteem by some, however, can mean negative feelings for others. And the effects of those less positive outcomes are showing up in therapists’ offices.

I see. Well, it would have been better to post previous text that references 'that' as a demonstrative adjective rather than a conjunction.

Now, what structure bothers you, precisely?

Oh it is the beginning of the paregraph
It is over my English learning and weird for me
What is the usage of the however
Isn't it better to place in the beginning or last?

As an adverb, 'however' can live with equal ease at the beginning, middle or end. The choice is the writer's and depends upon the flow of the surrounding text.

No, just some of them. You will have to learn their individual versatilities, though some generalities have been made, as for instance temporal adverbs (always, never, sometimes, etc) can appear in many places. Others are more restricted.
