According to Juan Sebastian Celis Defines toxic people as: someone who constantly complains and shares their problems with you, includes you in them, but does nothing to change their situation; someone who does not provide support; someone who makes you feel bad about who you are or what you do; someone who destroys with his words and actions any brilliant idea or a great goal.
That kind of people do not do us good, they humiliate us, they make us feel less, some manipulate us, they are envious, they intimidate us; It even makes us feel guilty about things that are not. Apart from that they only think about them, when you want to share something of yours they do not care whether you treat them or not, they do not keep secrets, they want to talk purely about them.
According to Carolina Hernande: Explain how to do when you run into a toxic person?
If you detect it, try to 'keep it at bay', not allow it to be toxic.
Assertiveness and sense of humor are the best allies in these situations. Assertiveness to put the proper limits and humor to not customize what does not go with me.
Reinforcing self-esteem to feel more secure and more self-confident is paramount too.
The more security we feel towards ourselves, the better we can stop the attacks of toxic people.
And as this type of people goes emotional blackmail, if we do not enter into it, they will get tired and look for another objective.
For example, with the complainers, complain more (even in a blatant and exaggerated way). Because if you do the opposite and try to minimize their complaint, they grow more.
The aggressive one has to be ignored. Be assertive with him and tell him not so many times are necessary.
Facing the guilty, the most important thing is that he never feels that we have accepted the guilt he wants to inoculate us. They are your decisions and not ours.
To the envious, better not to tell him the good things that happen to us.
With authoritarian people, especially if they have some power over us, the question is to talk about it and if we do not reach any conclusion, it is best to get away from them to protect our emotional health.
We should all know how to detect a toxic person and the best we can do is get away from them, they do not help us in our lives, they can stagnate us or lower our self-esteem. We must know what we are and value ourselves as to not to be trampled on
