The worst thing is when the members of your close family are toxic.

[estelitaneoomuceno]

To deal with toxic people. I have learned to NOT take things personally ; to always think that whatever the other person says or does - good or bad - is a reflection of themselves and has nothing to do about you.

-Establish boundaries
-Ignore them
-Dont share secrets with them

Surrounded by toxic people can lead to anxiety and depression on long run, especially when u are a sensitive person

[DelphineTheWorstBladeEver]

Stay away from anyone who can't say anything nice about anyone. Just stay away from them.

2) minimum conversation
3) ignore them

I agree with this video 100%! Toxic people cause drama and chaos. That's why I keep my social circle VERY small now and I'm much happier!

[lilianne.alnimry]

I’d rather have no friends for the rest of my life than with toxic ppl

[schmetterlingdamen]

Anyone who gossips with you will definitely gossip about you🤷🏾‍♀️

[joanbayer]

Someone once told me "A bully is actually a coward" and it was some of the best advice that ever helped me, I wrote it on a piece of paper and put it in my pocket- used it to stand up to them and then there came the day that I didn't need it anymore!

[eeyeltee]

I have learned that when family member(s) are toxic, always make me feel bad, I put myself first to maintain my dignity and sanity. I don't retaliate yet I keep my distance as much as possible. If they call every now and then I am cordial but soon as they start gossips, insults, becoming negative, etc., I end the conversation quickly.

[craigj.davies]

The worst thing is not being alone, the worst thing is being in company and feeling lonely.

[ful]

Toxic people are miserable, lonely, have low self-esteem and do not love themselves. PERIOD. Its never about you!!! They just want to be you

[stwhitewidow]

This kind of stuff needs to be taught in schools. Knowledge is power. I had no clue my ex was a gaslighting narcissistic psychopath. Life skills!

[reinaafricana]

I have toxic relatives in my immediate and extended families. I do my best to keep physical, emotional, and spiritual distance. My inner peace and my spirit deserve to be in equilibrium. 🥰🙌🏾🙏🏾🎯❤️

[ful]

Bullying isn't just them thinking someone else is weak. Most of the times it's because they see your potential and they just don't want it to exist.

[pumpkingamebox]

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

EDIT: All the world's problems stem from the same issue. Idiots always think that they're correct and wise always doubt themselves.

[triftyqurrota]

I will simply disengage with toxic people. They drain my energy. Leaving them makes me live at peace, I won't allow them ruin my peace

[logcabincraftshomesteading]

Good advice! I deal with them by being direct and I've many times said, "I'm not getting involved in your drama because I don't have the time".
