Toxic people

Jive Turkey · September 25, 2017, 03:29:52 PM

You know these people. They are always negative. They subtly or not so subtly put you down with little remarks. They make you feel discouraged. They don't have much regard for anyone but themselves. It can go into much worse things too like manipulation, threats, etc. Do you have any toxic people in your life? Could be friends, family, coworkers, even significant others

Learned a long time ago to just cut people like that out of your life. Usually isn't too bad as you just stop making an effort to be in their life. I imagine it's a lot harder if it's family but luckily I wouldn't know.

Me tbh so I cut myself out of people's lives

Not really, which is nice.

My 3rd year roommate. Not only he was pointing at everything negative about everything and everyone, he usually was drunk and when he was drunk, he was whining about literally EVERY single detail of his life.

To be honest I'm pretty toxic myself, so...

Extreme toxic behaviour

...so let`s go on a full list of how I toxic:
Whining about myself - checked
Calling myself toxic so people would get away from me - checked
Making an ironic joke in spoiler, which proves me being passive aggressive - checked
Attention whoring by making completely unnecessary post - checked
Oh yeah, and self esteem issues, my favorite one - checked

Since all ingredients are here, lets start cooking. So first of all you put passive agression toward yourself in the pan, then you are turning on a self esteem issues heat and slowly mixing passive agression with ironic jokes spoon. Depending on how burning is wish to kill yourself, you add attention whining and pushing people away, it`s all about preferences after all. The resulting dish is used to be eaten cold, same cold as some sort of revenge to people you like for no goddamn reason. 20 min of typing some kind of childish.. umm.. I don`t even know how to call it... butthurt,
and you are done. Enjoy.

Being "toxic" doesn't necessarily make them a bad person. Someone who's toxic could just be a bad influence on you. A prime example would be if you're in a relationship with someone, and your friend is someone who's in an unhappy relationship. Listening to their problems and empathising with them could be considered toxic as you begin to share similarities and notice parallels in your relationship. Or if you're trying to drink/party less but you're tempted by a friend who doesn't share your ambitions.

It sucks but you gotta prioritise to figure out what you want and who's blocking you from getting it.

My recent string of exes. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that for the most part.
