The concept of a “toxic person” is quite broad, but in general it defines one thing: such people poison the lives of those around them, interfering in other people’s business and constantly criticizing everyone and everything.
And the most interesting thing is that toxicity does not mean complete indifference to the opinions of others; strong personalities may not pay attention to this either.
However, if you notice that more and more people are becoming negatively disposed towards you, you need to sort out the situation.
And how to do this, will help us understand the expert of the portal "MOS SMI" on issues of astrology, esotericism and psychology Elena Gutyro .
Signs of the beginnings of toxicity
1. This is a total fear of who will think what about you after you perform this or that action.
2. You started to look for only the negative in your friends, completely ignoring the positive events in their lives.
3. Constantly criticizing certain people with whom you still continue to communicate, and worst of all, if you criticize them behind their back.
4. People gradually begin to avoid you, and over time they stop communicating.
How to get rid of this behavior
In this issue, as in many other areas related to psychology, there is no clear understanding of the situation; everything is complex.
You need to try to figure out when toxic behavior became the norm for you, and what exactly could have influenced this.
These could be some serious conflicts or emotional experiences, after which “toxicity” becomes the body’s defense mechanism.
Resume
This type of mental disorder will only progress over time, so it is necessary to deal with the past, and perhaps with the help of specialists.
