Hi dearies..
Enough of the dog issue going around on fb, now moving on- to other things that can also add value to our minds.. hehe

Today my topic is about the toxic people in our lives. Little did we know everyday, we come across things that may cause us harm.. Everywhere you name it, the pollution air we breathe including the haze on the road.. the ridiculous crazy drivers chasing time on our everyday path to work, the chemicals toxin in our food (the fruits & vegies, plastic, poultry.. etc).and anything that comes in a form of hazard to us which if only these things come in forms of warning labels like the warning label tags on our clothes..

So today i found a nice article, which i hope helps us eliminate which individuals we now call 'Hazard' to our health & mind...

Just like toxins in your air, water, or food, toxins in the people around you can cause serious harm--but they don't come with a warning label. Here's a rundown of what to look out for so you can keep yourself safe.

Toxic people are everywhere, and most of us know at least one or two. We may live with them, work with them, lead them, or perhaps know them socially. And if you've ever spent time with truly toxic people, you might already know how destructive and exhausting they can be.

Just as with any kind of toxin, you need to limit your exposure and keep yourself protected - like in a bubble wrap. Cos if we chose not too, they too can give us severe consequences; and they can deliberately undermine our very own mind. The first critical step is to recognize when a person we called toxic. Unfortunately, toxic people don't come with a warning label--here are things you can look for.

1. Toxic arrogance

There is a big difference between confidence and arrogance. Confidence inspires; arrogance intimidates. Arrogant people always know best and feel superior to others. They just know the exact words to say to undermine your potential. Their words will always belittle you and make you doubt yourself. Which is why they will never celebrate your confidence because it interferes with their arrogance.

2. Toxic victimhood

One of the most dangerous people you can have around you is the perpetual victim. Perpetual victims look at their own issues and mistakes and always find anything or others to blame, from their unreasonable boss to their unloving parents to even their unhappy situations. Truth is nothing is on them and they never take ownership of their own lives.

3. Toxic control

They are some people who loves to be in control of everything. Perhaps in ego stance, they were trained to do so and its the only way they do things. You see, controlling people tend to know everything and the best way to do anything. They have to be in charge and do whatever it takes to be in charge. They're usually very insecure beneath it all, but as long as they're around you'll never get a chance to voice out an idea or do anything yourself.

4. Toxic envy

Hard to identify these kind. Cos there are those who hid envy nicely in form of friendships, or relationships. To know this traits of them for those plague with jealousy is to see how they are never happy with what they have, and they aren't capable of being happy when good things happen to you. Notice if every time you got a raise, they are the ones who give you the cold shoulder or perhaps avoiding you. These kind can't appreciate it when others achieve or move forward; they feel that if anything good is going to happen, it should happen to them only.

5. Toxic lies

As long as there are people, there will be people who lie. But not all liars are harmful. The ones chronic liars that become harmful is when you never know what to believe, you can't count on their promises or their word. Deception. Most of the time, they will lie to you about others, and they will lie to others about you.

6. Toxic negativity

For those who breathes in negative air, you can actually catch their bad air the moment you get near em. The saying bad air is contagious and definitely this is health hazardous for you.

So to know someone who is in this, you probably know someone who's always angry and resentful, suspicious of everything and every single thing. Negativity destroys relationships, and true...spending time with negative people makes you feel they are sucking the life out of you.

7. Toxic greed

In life we will encounter some people with this kind of personality. Cos so much of our culture tells us to want more, achieve more, earn more. And to a degree that kind of desire and ambition can be good provided its a healthy competition and does not damage another being. But this greed turns toxic when there are some people who wants it all--what's theirs and what's not--and when having, rather than doing or being, becomes the focus of their life.

8. Toxic judgmentalism

There is a big difference between making a judgment and being judgmental. Sometimes in social medias we can see our peers, friends & acquaintances having healthy debate and opinions that may be easy or difficult for us to comprehend. Let me tell you the difference.

Judgments are objective and based on discernment. You can see how they respond with an open mind without any negativity, while being judgmental is just about criticism, finding the wrongs than the rights.

So beware of these critics as judgmental people are always quick to jump to conclusions. They are poor listeners and communicators - and stubborn too.

9. Toxic gossip

Gossipers on the other hand see themselves as having a deep conversation about someone, an exchange of information or story which they believe some truth from it. Gossipers enjoy talking behind someone's back and they do it to elevate themselves above their insecurity. Sadly there's no distinction between speculation and fact - and most of the times, stories that got around is 90% untrue. Few things are more destructive than gossip.

10. Toxic lack of character

This one is lethal toxic which we highly recommend you run the moment you knew!

When someone lacks integrity and honesty--when cheating, lying, manipulating, gossip, and greed are part of the norm--part of their normal act, there are things they would do without hesitance and things they won't do to get their way. Worst, if they decide you're an obstacle to them, they'll come after you with everything they've got.

So, if any of these attributes sound familiar, if you feel heavy breathing being amongst them, you may be suffering from exposure to a toxic person. Don't wait until tomorrow to get yourself clear, its advised for you to not keep yourself in the circle longer. And if you're unable to do so, stay as distant and guarded as you would with a chemical spill.
