"BEWARE IT'S TOXIC" have you ever seen this sign somewhere? usually it is near a chemical area. However you might be closer to something toxic than you think. I am talking about people who are toxic, they are among us and exhibit certain behaviors that have a negative effect on us. They tend to upset society's balance by causing physical and emotional pain to other people surrounds her/him. The effects of a toxic person can be detrimental to an individual due to their actions, you can be manipulated into thinking the toxic person is you not them but it's the other way around. Let's get into it.

1. THEY EXHIBIT MANIPULATIVE BEHAVIOR

First sign is this "MANIPULATION" it is the other name of a toxic person. Their skilled at manipulating and uses any means necessary to obtain their goal. They will use blackmails, threats, lies and guilty traps. Trying to turn the tables on you and point the finger in your direction if there is any dispute. They will use your friendship, kindness and love against you to get what they want. This is called "EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION" moreover this kind of people have so many ways to make you and others believe that you are at fault.

2. YOU FEEL EMOTIONALLY DRAINED AFTER TALKING WITH THEM

Have you ever felt so tired after talking to a friend that you started questioning if you were sick? You went out for dinner but then came back with a raging headache. Toxic people are like magnets that attract and absorbs all your energy in your vicinity. Tend to create a bubble of stress and full of negativity that sucks you inside and out. During a conversation with MBG Relationships Clinical Psychologist Perpetua Neo, she explained that they can cause you a lot of distress that you may even justify because you cannot understand why it is affecting you so badly.

3. THEY ARE ALWAYS THE VICTIM

Toxic people will not admit when they're wrong they'll shift the blame on someone else and paint themselves as the poor victim. For example toxic people will argue that they did not clean the garbage can because you did not remind them to do so. Further more if you're in an argument of a toxic person your point of view will not be taken and they will fabricate lies that will make you the criminal and them the victim. They feel the urge to always be right and will use any means necessary to prove it. In fact some are prepared to go to such lengths as filing a lawsuit over simple issues just to be seen as the one who's right.

4. LACK OF APOLOGIES

Following the previous point since toxic people think that they're always right, therefore there is no need for them to apologize. They will shift the truth, lying their way out of the situation before they apologize and even if they do apologize it will not be sincere. It'll sound something like "I'm sorry you feel that way".

5. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT BOUNDARIES

Picture this, you begged your partner for some time to think about that trip that you are going on together. You asked for a few days to ponder the idea and study it but suddenly they have the ticket purchased already without your consent. Toxic people are happy to step over boundaries they'll easily invade personal space, ignore your wishes, use your things without asking, barge into your house like they own it and do things without asking you first. In conclusion we should have a closer look as the members of our social circle to determine if they are toxic or not. Everyone deserves to have people who are supportive and loving not discouraging and hateful. Toxic people can be often identified by their key toxic signs their manipulative behavior, if you feel tired after talking to them, if they always play the victim, their lack of apologizes and their lack of boundaries now you know when your around a toxic person.
