we've all had toxic people in our lives
the emotional gold-diggers oh my god
please don't hurt me I'll give you
anything you want you have money my
phone
save it I'm gonna take four hours of
your undivided attention sympathy and
emotional labor okay the calm down crew
so Jimmy's brain tumor is back and the
doctor says that there's a really high
chance I have to put him down because
the mass is spreading beyond his skull
it's fine you have like four other cats
what cancer is such a first world
problem and of course the drama magnets
I'm really sorry to hear about your
breakup Thanks I mean it's been really
hard but I do wish him well whoa you
guys broke up I guess this is no
surprise considering how he was acting
at the party last Friday what party
how was the acting
oh my god is he cheating on me but if we
reframe it toxic people actually give us
an opportunity to better understand
ourselves improve our relationships and
find that balance between holding space
for another person while still honoring
your own needs as we move through life
we're inevitably gonna encounter various
forms of toxic people and we have to
learn to accept others for who they are
and wherever they're at
their behavior is not personal because a
person's behavior is a reflection of
their inner world their past trauma and
their current struggles and when you
recognize that toxic behavior exists
because it has helped that person
survive in the past somehow you stopped
feeling victimized by it I mean does
that mean you have to tolerate it
absolutely not but toxicity in your life
forces you to pay attention to how
people make you feel and act accordingly
maybe you have to distance yourself or
cut that person off completely maybe it
just means having a hard but
compassionate conversation either way
toxic people help you learn how to set
your boundaries and speak up for your
own needs because ultimately we are
responsible for the energy that we allow
into our lives and sometimes I have to
say it sometimes you're the toxic one it
happens and before you know it you'll
realize that your behavior is a
reflection of some survival mechanism
that served you in the past and when
other people accept us set boundaries
for themselves and make space for our
emotions without internalizing our
behavior we can now learn how to adjust
so we can grow into healthier balanced
people in all of our interpersonal
relationships toxic people are lessons
to themselves and to us so thank them
