Toxic!

Thoughts about negative/toxic people…

I was thinking of a topic to explore then an email about toxic people came handy. No doubt I struck gold and started racing my thoughts to do research to make it palatable to my reader’s appetite. I am sure you encounter these type of people, could be some of your friends and who knows even some of your family members. I know so, I was a victim and heard stories of my family members talking about their own.

Let me start with these quotes…

And these final thoughts…

“The Presence of too many negative people in your life”

The presence of negative people has a draining effect on our psyche. These are the individuals who are constantly judgmental, critical and even abusive. No matter the situation, it always seems that this person has something negative to say.

If that negative person is rubbing their toxicity off on you, it’s time to rectify the situation. Understand this: it’s not your responsibility to bear the brunt of this person. You have the right to live a positive, happy life without negative influence from others.

Don’t talk to or about them, don’t visit their Facebook page, don’t text, email or write; in other words, don’t have anything to do with them. Is this difficult? Yes…but not as difficult as that toxic individual.
