REMOVING TOXIC PEOPLE FROM
YOUR LIFE
And if we surround ourselves
with all kind of toxic people, we risk losing ourselves and our path in life
as a result of the poison that continues to be spread in our mind, body, and
soul as a result of our interactions with these people.
The first
step toward removing toxic people from your life is to identify them.
And
hopefully, after reading this list of 10 types of toxic people you should stay
away from, you will take the necessary steps to help you move in that
direction.
Opinion givers are those toxic
people who are always quick to share their sneaky and poisonous thoughts with
you on topics that are sensitive to you.
Oh, look at you. You look so
fat. Have you gained weight?
Remember when you did that
thing and made you look stupid?
Are you really going to date
that guy? He is such a loser… And on and on they go.
Even if you never ask for
their advice and opinions, they will make sure you hear what they have to say.
And if you watch them closely as they share their “valuable insights”, you will
notice this smirk on the face.
These toxic people feed
with the pain of their victims and take great delight in poisoning your mind.
So please, stay away from
them.
And always remember:
“An insincere and evil
friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your
body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.” ~ Unknown
If you’re reading this blog,
chances are that you are a good person with a big heart who loves to be of
service and who want to help those in need of help.
But be careful.
There are people out there
who don’t want to be helped – they might look like they need help, but they
don’t really want to be helped – they just want to play the victim game so that
you will feel sorry for them.
Pity is the energy they
feed with. And by you pitying them, they are in fact taking energy out of your
body and your own life and using it in a way that’s not really beneficial for
any of you.
So please, take your
energy back and stay away from these toxic people.
You know the saying, give a man
a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish, and you feed him
for a lifetime?
Well, needy people don’t want
you to teach them how to fish. They just want you to give them your daily fish
and be there for them nonstop.
And if you dare to create
some space between you and them to live your life, they will use all the tools
they have at their disposal to make you feel sorry, guilty, and ashamed.
And trust me, they’re
really good at what they do.
So please, do yourself a
favor and remove these toxic people from your life.
We all have ups and downs and
we all have moments when we want to talk to somebody about our problems.
But to be around someone who
complains nonstop about everything and everyone, that is exhausting.
Chronic Complainers take the
life out of your life by constantly pointing out what is wrong with the whole
world.
And if you value your health,
sanity, happiness, and well-being, you should stay away from these types of
people.
5. Chronic Blamers
People who constantly point the finger by blaming their
parents, partner, children, boss, workers, society, and the whole world for how
miserable and unhappy their lives are, are people who haven’t yet learned to
assume responsibility for their own lives.
And if they point out the
finger at others, they will eventually point out the finger at you as well.
Stay away from them.
6. Manipulative People
It can be quite a
challenge to identify these people immediately, especially if they are really
close to us.
They know what to say when
to say it, and they seem to do all things perfectly.
And even though your eyes
may not see them for who they truly are, your intuition will somehow know
something is off – your gut will send you all kind of signals that something is
wrong – and if you choose to listen to your heart and follow your intuition, you will save yourself from a whole
lot of pain, drama, and misfortune.
Keep your eyes wide open. Trust
your instincts. And stay away from these toxic people.
7. Gift Givers
Who doesn’t like to receive a
nicely wrapped gift?
We all do.
And gift givers know this very
well. As a result, they use this “trick” to control and manipulate us by
offering us a gift, after gift, after gift.
Why? Because they know that by
doing so, we will feel as though we are indebted to them, which makes it easy
for them to control and manipulate us. Clever, right?
Pay attention to how you
feel around these people and notice if you feel in your heart that their gifts
come with strings attached.
Your heart won’t lie to
you. And if the answer is “yes,” chances are that this person’s nice behavior
is not really that nice.
If you want to know how to
spot an energy vampire all you have to do is pay close attention to your energy
levels and how you feel around certain people. Pay attention to whom your
energy increases and to whom your energy decreases. Because that’s a clear sign
of who you should allow in your life, and who you should stay away from.
9. Gossipers
You don’t have to be a genius
to understand that if someone talks badly about others with you, they talk
badly about you with other people. It’s a pattern. A disease. An
addiction.
And if you value your peace of
mind, your happiness, and well-being, you will stay away from these toxic
people.
One of the most powerful
lessons I have learned from life is to always keep your two feet on the ground.
Because just as the wise Lao Tzu said it
more than 2500 years ago,
“When you stand with your two
feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.”
When you know your value and your true worth, you don’t really fall for flattery.
You understand that whether
people love you or hate you, that has nothing to do with you.
But if you’re not there yet,
other people’s seductive and deceiving praises might get to you, failing to see
that through their seductive and deceiving praises they are only trying to
trick you into doing the things they want you to be doing.
So please, keep two feet on the
ground, and stay away from flatterers.
What about you? What is

P.S. I want you to know
that I am all about loving and treating people with love and respect. And I do
believe with all my heart that at the core level we are all pure and loving.
But I have learned, the hard way, that not all of us are ready to live life
from a place of Truth and Love.
And that is why is
important to honor and love ourselves enough to walk away from all those people
who aren’t yet ready to love and honor us.
