It does no good to bear toxic people who hamper your well-being. Throw them away from your life, says the author.
“You can’t change someone who doesn’t see an issue in their actions.” – Unknown
If a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go away from your life. -Daniell Koepke
Say ‘No’ to toxic people! It is for your own good, for your own mental peace as for how long will you hold onto someone, thinking they would understand you or be happy seeing you grow as a person. Not everyone you meet in your life will be happy to see you excel. This is a sad fact of life.
Toxic People are the ones, instilled with two unique characteristics, Jealousy, and Judgement. People who are jealous of you are highly toxic, the reason being- they have so many complexes within them, that when they see someone else doing good things, they cannot digest. Over the time they have built up so much of self-hatred, (which they do not realize) that they see bad in every other person around them. From jealousy comes judgement, validation, criticism. They feel that everyone around them is awful and lacking in some or the other way.
We all come across such people in our lives, no matter in what profession we are or which place we belong to. They have this immense power to make your life living hell just by their negative vibes around you.
You know it’s time to cut down such people from your life when you have an unhealthy coping mechanism and you see your self-esteem dwindling. You see yourself going a few steps back from where you traveled this far, you realize you have been unhappy in their presence. You find it very difficult to make them understand and lose your temper.
So identify those toxic elements in your life and learn to detach from them, only to attach yourself to higher aspirations in life.
“Dear Self: Stop re-opening your doors for toxic people, then calling it “seeking closure”. Certain things don’t work out in life and that’s ok” – Reyna Biddy

Vidhya came home with Riya. She was surprised to see the same expectations from her that were before from having a child. Nothing had changed, and she felt that nothing would ever change.
Vidhya was just like any other normal girl who grew up reading Cinderella and Rapunzel, wishing to meet her Prince charming someday. Though not a topper, she scored well in school and college and fulfilled her parent’s dream by joining as HR in a reputed financial firm.
After she settled in her career path, her parents began their hunt to find the perfect groom and complete their responsibility in life. Finally, after seeking permission from the stars in her chart, they fixed her wedding with Rahul, who according to them, got a tick for most of their eligibility criteria. She obliged and got married to him as per their wish.
But what if you could highlight the pleasure of eating a mango? Mango-eating has always been the stuff slurpy, sloppy moments are made of.
Someone once said, ‘A little coitus never hoitus.’ Or, as a passage from an ancient Indian text says, ‘The horse and mare, the bull and deer, form the high union, while the horse and deer form the highest union. On the female side, the elephant and bull, the mare and hare, form low unions, while…’
Apparently, the animals represent people who are trying to have a union, that is, sex. This passage shows how the ancient Indians knew a thing or two about the birds and the bees and the hares and the mares. We had passion or kaam. And we had the Kama Sutra.
Maybe we should check if we might be practicing one or more of these toxic behaviours, causing annoyance or even misery to those around us?
We mostly quickly acknowledge and react to negativity when we are on the receiving end. But we hardly ever notice how our toxic behavior might be killing someone’s peace of mind.
Given that people prefer to talk behind our backs rather than telling us upfront about what might be offending them, we may actually end up spending our entire lives ignorant of our own negativity.
Toxic people drain you of energy and happiness. It is best to keep them far away. Here is a look at the 7 kinds of these leeches of your time and health.
It is said you are just like the type of five people you spend most time with. You can not afford even one of those five people to be toxic which could hold you back, drain your energy and above all give you stress. And so you need to choose people around you very wisely for a ‘better you and betterment of you’.
These toxic people defy all kind of logic and some are even blissfully unaware of their toxic presence but there are some who derive sadistic pleasure in creating chaos and messing up with your balance purposely.
