10 Toxic People To Avoid

Toxic people are more accurately described as people who routinely exhibit behaviors that are negative, unhealthy, and debilitating to others. Do you have a toxic person in your life? While these behaviors are toxic, it is important to recognize that the person may be fighting emotional battles of their own. However, we should still be more aware of people like this because they can have a huge impact on your performance and happiness.

Sometimes I’m afraid that I’M the toxic one.

“Before you argue with someone, think to yourself is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives. Because if not, there’s absolutely no point.”🙏🏽

We complain about having toxic people in our lives, but what if WE’RE the toxic people in another’s life?

“So how do you know who is a toxic person?”
Me just distracted by the new animation style then my mind goes on to think about if my friends are toxic:

8: 4:41: People who Disregard Your Values
9: 5:09: People who set Ultimatums
10: 5:48: People who Have an Overly-competitive Mindset

This art style and setting is so fascinating.

On "The User", I don't think that there's anything wrong with talking to someone only for assignments or work, since maybe you don't know each other well and it's the only subject you can talk about at first. The red flags are when they refuse to return the favor when you ask for help, and the relationship doesn't progress from acquaintances to good friends.

Poor Psy. He's been through a lot...

[dzlzrd]

#7: People who cannot control emotional outbursts.

My BPD ass: Oh, shit!

[ll]

[fruittoot]

[teenshii]

The leaves on the heads' of the characters are really adorable.

Thanks to the animators for the eye blessing visuals and thanks to Psych2go for the helpful videos.

Stay healthy. ❤

Once upon a time there was a sparrow flying in a winter storm. Exhausted from fighting the high winds he landed in a pasture to rest. Along came a cow who, not paying any attention to the sparrow, took a big crap that buried the bird. Now the sparrow was disgusted, but soon realized he was actually quite warm in there, so decided to stay. Not long later a cat came along and noticed the sparrow sitting there. He took the bird out of the pile and brought him inside. The cat then drew a bath for the sparrow, and cleaned all the crap from his feathers. Then ate him.

Moral of the story: not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. Not everyone who takes you in and cleans you up is your friend.

"Number one; the jealous type, "

Quite bold of you to assume I am loved enough for someone to be jealous of me.

[Anonymous-qlyd]

I feel like Psy2go should make a video on surviving sexual molestation. Especially if it's happening on a regular basis, how to cope up with it. Molestation is extremely traumatic and it's high time we need to talk about it.👍🏼

[KayKay-pzer]

I have experienced the jealous types. My "friend" was always talking behind my back saying I have the "perfect" life.

[rachelmorgan]

This video reminded me of my last place of employment. It was full of toxic people.

[HannaneNiazi]

I think having no friend is so much better to have some toxic ones.
