In this week’s episode of The Resiliency Factor Podcast, I discuss the reasons why you need to shield, protect, and rid yourself of the toxic people in your life, no matter how unpopular your decision may be. It’s important to note that a toxic person can be anyone, a parent, a spouse or partner, a friend, or even a complete stranger that you’ve met online. The common factor amongst toxic people is that you find yourself having a very negative emotional response whenever you are in their presence.
There is a difference between a person who is in crisis and asks for your support and love and a person who has lost her way altogether and has nothing positive to say, is always negative, plays the victim role, and intentionally uses harsh words or even derogatory language to hurt you.
In this episode, I give you a brief overview of how to distinguish between a person who is genuinely in crisis and seeking help from a person who has adopted a negative outlook on life, prefers to remain in victim mode, and is truly toxic. I also provide you with tangible steps to help you stay grounded in the presence of a toxic person and how to distance yourself entirely.
