How do you handle toxic people in your life?

[Bono Chavez]

How do you handle people who always has something negative to say about you?

People who loves to pinpoint your flaws and make you feel bad and small because that is what satisfies them?

 

Do you snap back at them or do you just walk away? Do you think of a witty comeback against them or do you just smile?

[MissAria]

It depends. 

Is it at work ? I would try to talk to my supervisor.

Is it in your circle of friends ? I would try to defend myself. 

Is it in your family ? If it is a senior, I cannot talk back. It happened before that I talked back and I was lectured to be rude and so some of my family dislike me and keep saying I'm so rude with seniors... 

Is it a stranger ? I don't have the courage to talk back to a stranger. I don't know how they would react and I think it is not worth my time for someone that see me one time.

Avoid them completely if possible. If not possible, be polite but don't engage with them or let them infect you with their crazy.

Sadly some of these "toxic people" are in my family! They say family is reliable at times one need them the most. Total BS. 

 

It's hard to cut them off as I still need to keep in contact with my mom. 

 

As for others, I try to avoid but if not, I guess, "Kill 'em With Kindness?"

i don't keep them in my life.

i know this is a hard thing for most to do, but it is usually the best thing to do imo.

I walk away.I know they still talk richard simmons about me at the end of the day while i'm gone but I don't care for them because they're irrelevant.

[raymondc27]

I'll ignore em for the rest of my life

[halfmoonsmile]

Use them as a motivation to get what I want faster.

[plutojain779]

well... on own experience and being kind of toxic as well... most ppl tend to avoid me... sometimes it helps and sometimes not

[justanotherasianchick]

I try to stay as far away as I can from them, if possible, or just not talk to them. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know what I mean??

[cenching]

Walk away, they don’t worth my time and energy....

[nnanny]

I try to minimally contact with them.

[Lilet Jeciel]

Leave them. This is a lesson I learned based on experience, had a lot of friends when I still have $ but they suddenly disappeared when I had $ problems. Haha. Also - choose wisely. Haha.

I cut them out of my life. And if I can't, I just minimize the amount of exposure (meaning I try to avoid them as much as I can)

Show'em the door and have no contact with them. Once they are on my dark side, I pretty much ignore them. Not worth my time.
