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.
