Do you recognize when a person is toxic? Do you consider yourself a toxic person? Are you sometimes toxic?
In recent times we have heard about toxic people, but do you know what they mean? Toxic people are those types of individuals who directly and negatively affect others, who have a narcissistic and egocentric personality, selfish people who with their behavior ruin, truncate, devastate others.
In general, toxic people are people who do not feel satisfied with their lives or who tend to be overcome by their problems and the only way to feel better is to frustrate the other. Sometimes we can be toxic unconsciously, but there are people who do it with all the treachery possible and we have to move away from them, because they cannot affect our lives.
Although people with this type of attitude can change, it is their decision to want to do so, no one can force others to change, because we would be engaging in that tax behavior, believing that our opinion is the one that is right.
In reality, we can all at some point show this type of behavior, but to a lesser degree. If at some point in our lives we have frequent problems with people around us, many do not avoid it, our social events have been reduced to a minimum, we are no longer as "pleasant" as before, it is time to review and analyze our behavior.
If it is the opposite and we are victims of this type of people who overwhelm us in a negative way, it is time to sit down and analyze what we should do. If that toxic person belongs to our family or friends environment, it is necessary to sit down and talk, since there is an emotional relationship involved. If you belong to our work environment, the treatment that should be given to you is different.
Dealing with a person who has this type of behavior is quite complex, since many times these people need the help of a professional, because they are people who have problems either due to trauma or other injury. They are emotionally complex people, who may not have reached psychological maturity or feel happy or satisfied with the decisions they have made so far.
That is why it is necessary to understand and define the relationship that one has with these people, the reciprocity of the relationship, the importance they have for us and they with us, so it is essential to ask ourselves if it is best to get away from them, physically and / or emotionally or take another attitude. What we must be clear about is that we are not going to change anyone, but part of the person who needs the change, this will not happen. We can offer our helping hand, but that is where help will come.
Do you know how to recognize a toxic person?
We have talked so far about what it is and the behavior that this type of person has, but do you know how to recognize them? Here are some of the most common characteristics that these types of people usually present:
These types of people are very negative and almost all the time they find reasons to complain, to see problems in the most unlikely things. They are never satisfied with anything.
They are generally selfish people. They only care about them, they have no other people to worry about or take care of other than themselves. They are very proud and imposing.
People considered toxic tend to be unhappy. They always criticize or make unhealthy comments about the behavior of others. They always have a negative comment about the others.
They are frustrated people who are not satisfied with what they have achieved, because they either do not know what they want or do not have the necessary skills to achieve what they want.
They envy the job position, the relationship, the intelligence, the skills… of the other and that keeps them upset all the time, so they are not happy about the progress of others.
The behavior of this type of people can be overtly aggressive or if not passive aggressive, the latter behavior can be otherwise alarming and dangerous.
They are experts in the art of manipulation and victimization. The others are to blame for not having reached their goals in life.
It feels good to hurt others emotionally, to humiliate and mistreat them
They are experts in believing that everyone knows, only they can say, disqualify, disavow and make judgments.
They are emotionally immature.
They are masters in the art of drama.
They tend to spread rumors and gossip, creating discord in any environment.
Lies are the order of the day with this type of person and thus they are not deserved, they say them.
Energetically they tend to absorb the energy of others.
These types of people harm the most vulnerable people, since they place them as their prey.
Toxic people know no limits and need to pressure, annul, mistreat… others to feel good about them. They are unable to empathize with others. this makes them very unstable, immature and insecure people.
