Toxic

SURPRISE!  You've got a poisonous relationship in your life!
Turn to page 34 to realize they don't matter OR Turn to page 78 to remove the poison from your life.

Toxic people don't realize how they poison the lives of others and are left wondering why people limit their interactions with them.  Oh, and then there's always the fun advice of "just don't let it get to you."  Yeah, I can do that with a lot of people.  Some people it shouldn't surprise or get to me anymore, then I get the mixed feeling of "it's doesn't bother me"/"WHY?!"
OHOHOH!  The ultra-fun advice of "address them so that you can peacefully move on."  Huh?  They're toxic, what makes you think moving on after addressing them is going to be peaceful in any shape?
The important thing I think when you have those Toxic people that aren't going to change and aren't easily separated from your life: focus on the people who do support you.
And those people that are toxic to you but CAN be easily removed from your life.  KICK 'EM OUT OF IT!
Not that anyone who gives you any sort of constructive criticism is toxic, but spend time with people who support you, love you, and want to raise you to higher levels instead of those people that want to break you, hate you, and lower you down.  I mean, holy wow, prolonged stress can kill cells in the hippocampus, a brain area critical for memory.  Save your hippos!
