Negative People


I listened to the podcast on “Toxic People” and I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea that there is no such thing as toxic people. Below are the type of people that I have distanced myself from because of their negative outlook on everything. I often find that I am constantly walking on eggshells with some people because they perceive what I do or say as a problem. I noticed that this is a pattern with them. I prefer being around people that take responsibility for their own behavior. I am by no means saying that I am not negative at times, however, I do have an awareness and do take responsibility for my part. My question is, if there is no such thing as toxic people and we are not to condone their behavior, then how do we handle a situation like that if it’s behavior that doesn’t change? Do we just tolerate it and be okay with it? At what point do you say, enough is enough, I am not going to continue allowing this person to say hurtful things to me or try to manipulate or control me by their actions.
