Dealing with toxic people, is my topic on this week’s “Bleeding Heart Chronicles”. Good morning, love. Its hard to admit sometimes we become magnets for toxic people. Not just lovers, but friends as well. Being a positive person will attract their attention. But we are the ones who let them in. I think of toxic people as being emotional vampires! They suck all of the positive energy from your body and leave you mentally and physically drained. And yet, they still search for more. Never satisfied.

There are at least 8 common characteristics of a toxic person.
1. Toxic people are manipulative.
2. Toxic people are judgemental
3. Toxic people take no responsibility for their own feelings
4. Toxic people never apologize
5. Toxic people are inconsistent
6. Toxic people make you prove yourself to them
7. Toxic people will make you defend yourself to them
8. Toxic people are not caring, supportive or interested in what’s important to you.

People who are Toxic have figured out that decent people will go to extraordinary lengths to keep the people they care about happy. And they will have you running in circles to please them. They’ll lie before they ever apologise or admit they are wrong, EVER! So expect to always be the villain. They’ll twist the story, change the way it happened so they are always the victim. They lie so convincingly, that they’ll believe their own nonsense. They’ll find reasons why your good news isn’t great news. So, never expect them to share in your good fortune or happiness.

Do one little thing that displeases them and they will resort to punishing you. They will no longer pick up their phone, answer texts or emails. They will leave you guessing about the status of the relationship, wondering what you’ve done to upset them. Call them out on something they just did and somehow you’ll end up defending yourself over something you did 8 months ago. They see your past failures as evidence of your shortcomings right now. They’ll judge you and destroy your self-esteem over any mistake you EVER make in the relationship. Often, whatever they accuse you of, is exactly what they are guilty of doing.

If you’ve had enough of their drama you can ignore them. But then they’ll call or text you. Answer the call or the text and they’ll ignore you. It’s all a game. It is a fact that our happiness or unhappiness is a direct result of people we have in our life or come in contact with. So, be cautious who you allow to be close. If you do have to deal with toxic people (family, business) set limits on your exposure time with them. Pay attention to your own words and what you say. Distance yourself emotionally. More then likely they’ll say something to upset you. Remind yourself to always focus on the positive. Have backup friends that you know are positive to help you deal with your situation with the toxic person.

When toxic people twist your life and mind up in knots. Just know, toxic people are lacking purpose and meaningful goals. Although they are the villain, they play the victim quiet well. You are neither the victim or villain. You have purpose and meaningful goals. You will rise above their drama and stay the course to your happiness. You will not waste your precious energy engaging in an endless argument. You will not be distracted from the person you really are and what you want for your life. I stand with you. I support you. I bleed with you. And Together, we will rise above all lies, deception and mind games. We will pursue our happiness and improve our lives. Because Together we are unstoppable, my love! WE will master all Toxic people! Always and forever!
