8 Signs Of A Toxic Person: Recognize Them And Keep Them Out Of Your Life

SHARE

We all know that one person who can literally brighten up a room BY LEAVING IT. This person is inconsiderate of everything and everyone and cares only about themselves. They are a master of manipulation and are overly judgmental of everything. This person can drain our energy and cause stress in our lives. That’s why it is very important to know the signs of a person like this so that we can keep them out of our lives.

1. DRAMA IS THEIR MIDDLE NAME

They have an aura of drama and negativity around them. It seems as if they are always having some kind of a problem. They are never happy and content with what they have in their life. They are always longing for more and more. And whenever you try to offer them help or advice, they dismiss it and continue doing what they were doing before.  

2. THEY ONLY TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR PROBLEMS BUT NEVER BOTHER TO LISTEN TO OTHERS

These people can be overly narcissistic and self-focused. They only care about themselves, about their problems and things, never thinking about other people.

3. THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE CONTROL FREAKS

They need to control everything and everyone in their life. They treat other people as pawns in their game of getting what they want. If you want to be in their life, you must do as they tell you, otherwise you are out.

4. THEY ARE KINGS AND QUEENS OF GOSSIP

Talking and gossiping about other people is their hobby. They love doing it because that way, they are lifting themselves up and boosting their self-esteem while tearing others’ down.

5. THEY SUCK UP YOUR TIME AND ENERGY

They don’t have any concern about your time and space. They are unapologetically consuming all your free time and your energy when they want it, but they don’t do the same thing about you. They expect you to always be there for them, but when you need them they are nowhere to be found.

6. THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

Even if they tell you that one plus one equals five, they are never wrong. That’s why you should never waste your time arguing with them and try to prove them you. If you confront them, however, you will lose your patience because these people are so stubborn that they never give up and admit they are wrong.

7. THEY MASK THEIR LACK OF COMPASSION AND COMMON COURTESY AS ‘BEING HONEST’

Remember that mean comment they made about you last week? Well, they OBVIOUSLY didn’t mean to be rude to you and attack you, they were just being honest with you and you should respect their bluntness.

8. THEIR RELATIONSHIPS ARE JUST FOR SHOW

They only enter in a relationship if it serves their purpose and for showing off. They are not interested in building a strong, deep, and long-term connection. Their relationships are shallow because they only care about appearance.
