Toxic people are everywhere, they could be in your friends, colleagues, family members, anyone!
Since they are everywhere it’s nearly impossible to imagine life without them. Just like we have positives we have negatives as well.
By this, I don’t mean that you need to suffer. no! Not at all!
I’m just making you aware of the reality of life.
Now what could we do, how can we handle them, what could we do so that they don’t harm us mentally & emotionally?
Before we go ahead, I would like to mention that this is just a blog post, whatever I gonna be sharing, will be in a "General form," one can always reach out to me so that we can discuss it specifically in one’s “personal” context!
People don’t talk much about toxic relationships because people who are going through it find it difficult to talk about it, to share what they are going through, even they are afraid to take help as they have a very wrong belief that, “nothing gonna happen & it's my destiny to suffer” which is so wrong!
Also, not everyone understands toxic relationships, people are very naive in this, so always try to reach someone who knows about it, who isn't going to judge you, and who would be empathetic & accepting towards you.
You are not meant to suffer, you may have suffered in the past but now you have grown up, you are stronger than you were before, moreover, it’s in your life, every problem has a solution, you just need to look for it.
Take help whenever required, reach out right people and if you didn't get the help, you needed then don't stop, try again, it's your life after all!
The problem isn’t how to get rid of toxic people, as I told you they are everywhere!
If you managed to get rid of one, another one would find you!
FACT: It's very easy to fall into toxic relationships, and hard to come out of them.
Here you need to learn how to deal with them, that’s the very practical and ultimate solution!
Also don’t forget to work on your Emotional & Mental health, if you are healthy, you already have an advantage!
If you are mentally & emotionally strong then who would dare to mess with you!
Look this is a journey, this won’t happen in just one day, keep doing small things for your mental health, every single day!
Now coming back to our modified question:
How to deal with toxic people?
For this, I'm recommending you a book which is- "HOW TO HUG A PORCUPINE" by Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis
It's a very short, simple, still very powerful book, get the book anyhow & start reading it as I'm sure either you have encountered Toxic People, maybe you are in one, or you are going to encounter them in the near future, so prepare yourself!
You were already dealing with them in some or another way, now deal healthily by not letting them affect your mental health.
I wish you all the best 😊
Working on your mental and emotional health will never let you down; you will always be a better person than you were before 😊
Thank the person who shared it with you, and return the favor by sharing it with someone you think would benefit from it 😇
