toxic people.

basically, people who make your life miserable, physically and/or emotionally.

who are they in your life and how do you deal with them?

oh goodness i dunno my "friend" crystal

 

[Galadriel]

Lol, I have some of those "friends" as well. It is hard, because I just don't know how to end it with people like that.

these people i dont consider my friends...just misreable people out there trying to make everyone else unhappy as well. my best friends ex boyfriend is a perfect example of this. he is really mean to everyone. he takes jokes 2 steps too far. tries to make me and my boyfriend break up and talks about countless people behind their backs. he has spread numerous rumours about people and gossips like crazy. he'll smile in your face and stab you in the back. i have known others who used to attend my school but thankfully changed schools. i just try and be nice to them when i do come in contact with them and just not make them angry...but other than that...i just avoid those people. why would i want to be around people who are mean and rude and make me unhappy??

totally.

i find that they're either passive aggressives, like tina's example or they're nice but just have a toxic effect on you. either way it's hard to push them away if they're not blatantly disrepecting you. so they just continue to pull you down.

my work environment is like that. nice people but most of the time they deflate me more than they inspire me. great practise at not letting myself, and my mood, be determined by my environment.

anyone else?

Yes, I love the passive aggressive ones, the ones who pull you down, but are not outright mean or pushy, they are subtler about it, and so they bring you down, comment by comment. Yes, that is really hard to get out of, I have had a "friend" like that for years, and still have a hard time shaking it. I guess I am too nice sometimes, and have trouble stopping the realationship in its tracks,

I'm one of the student leaders in my youth group and every time we go on a trip and need to find roommates all the young underclassman want to room with me. I've got nothing against this, but after a week of them trying to impress me and things like that, I just get a little bit annoyed.

To solve that, I just pray and remind myself that if this will help these kids feel welcomed, then so be it. After all, the only reason I am usually bothered is because I don't have much patience. Rarely do I get mad or angry (very rarely) which helps me get along with most people. But, there always are a few out there.

everyone is toxic. even myself.

 

[Wypadek]

I don't have any FRIENDS like that, but a some acquatences who do that.

My in-laws are extremely toxic people... manipulative, passive-aggressive and sometimes outright aggressive. They've been in a fit for 9 months now - giving us the complete silent treatment. But in these 9 months, my husband and I have realized that our lives are actually healthier and happier. If they decide to come back into our lives, we're prepared to give them some ground rules to stop the manipulation and passive-aggressive behavior.

I have a "friend" who is really draining on me as well. I wouldn't label her as "toxic" but it does take a lot out of me to be around her. I dread her phone calls, emails, etc. And I feel bad feeling that way about her.

My dad.

And my brother sometimes.

I'm not saying why.
