7 Characteristics of the Toxic Person, Which You Should Exclude From Your Life

From time to time, everyone can become annoying to those around them. Problems, crises, stress, poor health, poor mood - all of which strongly influence us and leave a mark on our behavior and the way we communicate with those close to us (and not only). Therefore, a bad mood is not a symptom of a toxic person.

Toxic people are not only negative to the bone (their world is made up of a whole range of shades of black and gray) but they are also characterized by their unique ability to splash poison on everyone around them. At the same time, they know how to find vulnerabilities and how to put salt on your wound. So let's list the characteristics of the toxic man.

He claims he is always right

They are keen to prove themselves right. I don't admit my mistakes. I don't care about the common sense and feelings of others. Some people can't admit their guilt. They are not ready to take responsibility for their actions.

A toxic person must be right in any situation, otherwise, a grain of doubt will be sown in his conscience: "If I am not right?". And this is a dangerous thought, which can lead to sad consequences. This will be followed by the need to change, to change their visions, priorities, values, ​​and way of life as a whole. For him, this is an unwanted turn. Therefore, he will loudly claim "I am right!" It's a matter of survival for toxic people.

He is selfish

Toxic people are more misanthropic. But if you are a person who can benefit from it, if it is easy to get in your head, you will be among the favorites of the toxic man. He will love you to some extent if that word is appropriate in this case.

He offers nothing

They always get everything they need from relationships and the world around them: emotions, material goods, benefits of all kinds. They are consumers. Even when they offer something, they pursue a hidden purpose. This is most likely part of the long-term handling process.

Face to face is even worse

It can seem very enjoyable in society. But when you are alone in the company of the toxic man, "because of him" you will experience a wide range of emotions: guilt, shame, humility, jealousy.

They will "help" you to lose your dignity all the time. Then they will make you feel guilty about what happened. Including the fact that you shed tears.

He is characterized by sudden mood swings

A moment ago you were pleasantly communicating, and now it's hard and cold. Most likely you stepped on a taboo ground of his interests, where you have no right to change anything.

And you probably don't like something. And you want to sow chaos in his comfortable, selfish, but the stable world. You vandalized his altar. In such situations, be prepared for a cold shower. In the best-case scenario.

He sows enmity between people

You will always be up against other people, it will be shown to you that you cannot trust them. Generally, you don't have to trust anything! Especially in those who care about you: parents, family members, friends, etc. All those who might open their eyes to what is happening, those who might shatter the "charm" of the toxic man, will be denigrated.

He lies

● That's not what I meant

● you are lying
