We meet thousands of people here on this earth. They will enter your life
for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Some we connect with right away
and some we will never bond with. Some are funny and kind and easy to be
around and others are mean and nasty and are clearly miserable in life.
But the ones that most negatively impact your life are “toxic people”.
They come in all different shapes and sizes, come from all different walks
of life and you can spot them a mile away. They typically hate their life
and worst of all they secretly hate themselves.
They are filled with
resentments, anger, fear, heartache, bitterness and it seeps through their
pores. It is sad to watch and painful to be around.
Toxic people fling
insults at others, make condescending comments and then act like they
didn’t. I believe most aren’t even aware of the way they come across. They
seem to be hell bent on making you as miserable as themselves.
And the
worst is if you are married to someone who is toxic. It effects your mental
well being because you really can’t get away from the darkness that
surrounds this person.
Dealing with toxic people is like walking a
tight rope. You always have to watch what you say because they get very
defensive. They don’t think anyone likes them (and you wonder why) and
nothing seems to make them happy. They drag you down and it’s exhausting
trying to make them happy, because the reality is that nothing is going to
make an unhappy person happy.
They literally suck the joy out of life
and they will suck the joy out of your life if you allow them to.
You
can’t make a toxic person experience joy or bring them happiness, it has to
come from within. You can try to help toxic people but unless they are
willing to help themselves and dig deep down and remove what is poisoning
them, no amount of trying is going to help them out.
