In life, we often meet people who have a negative impact on the mood and condition of another person.

Not everyone knows how to communicate with toxic people properly. This only increases the suffering.

Elena Gutyro, an expert on astrology, esotericism and psychology at the MOS SMI portal, will tell you how to protect yourself from negativity.

Setting boundaries

If you understand that there is a toxic person next to you, then you can simply leave and not waste your energy on this person.

If you can't leave, then you should set boundaries. It is important for the person to understand that you do not tolerate insults and violation of personal space. Tell him about it.

Refusal

Many people have a hard time saying "no." Try learning how to do this.

A toxic person should not manipulate you into doing something you don't want to do.

When the interlocutor understands that you do not react to negativity and can fight back, then after a short time he will try to find another victim.

Working with thoughts

After communicating with a toxic person, there is often an unpleasant aftertaste. Negative thoughts can haunt you.

It is important not to let your thoughts take over you. To improve your condition, it is worth switching to something good. For example, you can go to a cafe and treat yourself to a tasty drink or turn on a funny video.

By following these tips, you can protect yourself from negative people.
