Toxic people- featured image

We all strive to amend our relationships. After all, these relationships give us moments to cherish and enjoy. However, many of these connections might be toxic and become the reason for utmost stress and bad memories in life. People you spend time with effect you knowingly or unknowingly. Somewhere we adopt a mix of personas from different people. It’s human nature. So, it is of utmost importance to allow only progressive people to live productive lives. Toxic people poison others’ lives, gradually spoil you and you rarely realize or know it late.

Unfortunately, toxic people around us harm us being our friends. Such people will always make you doubt yourself and your ability and deteriorate your overall health. It is utterly necessary to make a distance from such people. If you allow such people, they will undoubtedly leave a negative and dark impact making your life worse every moment. But the first question that arises from reading this is how to deal with such people once you realize they are not suitable for your good!

Your sixth sense always suggests you when you don’t get a good vibe from certain people, but unfortunately, most of the time, we ignore it. Toxic people’s presence will naturally upset you, let alone their other activities. There will be undefinable turbulence inside you. When you are with them, you will find your mind not working as well it usually does. Don’t doubt yourself and overthink that you are judging anyone. Let us try to understand some of the behavior of corrosive people that indicates you to show a red signal.

Manipulative– Toxic people pretend that they want your benefit, but their action indicates otherwise. That is, they try to manipulate you by their words. It is best to make decisions based on their actions, being deaf to their words.

Troubles and Negativity- It includes people who fill your major part of life with problems and negativities. Sometimes they are so frustrated with their lives that they want others to live a compromised life.

Criticism- Though constructive criticism is good, destructive people constantly criticize you and leave no chance to put you down.

Over self-obsessed– People who constantly use you in need but seldom stand by you when you need them. Most of the time, they keep the things about them and don’t bother to ask if you are all right. Being a little selfish is good but using others while not helping others is another level of selfishness.

Moody- We meet many people who have emotional swings. They try to pour all their anger on us. And on the other hand, they want us to enjoy when they are in a good mood and crack jokes without bothering about our situation.

Arrogance: Superiority complex shows up in their behavior. Toxic people think others are intelligent if they know what they know; otherwise, they are fools. Making fun of others’ inability to neglect their abilities is one of the proofs of their arrogance.

Dominating: Such people always try to impose themselves on you. They would expect you to go their way, and if you go otherwise, they try to make you realize that you cannot make independent decisions. These sort of people will never care about your personal view.

Interfering: It is one of the most destructive qualities of toxic people. They intrude a lot into your matters and are always up for free advice though they don’t belong to your field and path. It becomes more complicated when elders from your blood relations do it. You have to struggle to stop them.

Disrespect: Toxic people will never think twice before disrespecting you. Then later, they might try to persuade you by making illogical reasons.

Demotivating– Toxic people are always up for demotivating you, let alone motivating. They are always making you count your mistakes and suppressing your achievements.

Comparison: Toxic people always keep comparing themselves with others, not lifting themselves but pulling others down. They also weigh their friends and people against others, disrespecting their individuality. That is why you find such people trying to change their mates as per their needs. How can someone be your friend if they don’t like the way you are!

Judgemental– Toxic people always judge others and their people, giving them negative feedback. They will never even try to understand what you do and why! So, even a healthy relationship[ turns toxic if judging replaces understanding.

Unsupportive– Corrosive people will never support their friends in bad times. However, they will come to you running shamelessly to praise you when you succeed as if they were always your friends indeed.

All these qualities of toxic people don’t harm you physically but mentally and emotionally. It fetches away your energy and time in the name of your friend and well-wisher. However, it is best to understand that all people do not harm you intentionally. They might not know that their activities are affecting you the wrong way. So, it’s better to talk to them straight and try to sort it out. There should be no fear and communication gap from at least your side so that you could make a firm decision.

Moreover, we all want others to say good about us. That doesn’t mean any person who tells you otherwise is toxic. Often we come across a situation where two persons say the same thing to us but the way we perceive both is different. That is because the way a message is conveyed matters. Here, our inner intuition helps us smell the intention of the sayers. However, most people are toxic by nature, and they are rigid to amend their behavior anyway. Here you better not try to improve them and maintain a safe distance. Toxic people’s words, thoughts, and behavior trouble you every time. Try to avoid them and never take their words seriously not to worsen your day.

Of course, it is next to impossible to physically avoid toxic people’s presence. But you can disappear them in your mind, and that is the way to be away while living among them. As you gain the sense of control, their words, presence, and activities will stress you less or might be no more. You have to give your hours and space to constructive people and habits to do so. One of those habits is reading good stuff. Now, having said that, I want to share some toxic people quotes.
