How do you know if you’re surrounded by wrong people? After all, they will do everything in their power to make you think they are the right people to have in your life… Read this post to explore the key indicators and explore the type of people to avoid in your life (you might already know them!)
Do you find ways to justify or excuse their attitudes or behavior?
Do you become less of who you are or worse… more like them?
Are you blind to the truth? Would you know if you were being manipulated?
The person whom you call a friend, but is a toxic person, you should stay clear away. With these people in your life, are you closer or further away from reaching your goals and dreams?
How to notice if you surround yourself with the wrong people?
Do you feel that you have no choice but to be stuck with the wrong people in your life? It’s a limiting belief that the wrong people are holding onto you rather than you are holding onto them.
Some of the most poisonous people come disguised. A coworker stabs you in the back. A best friend ends a long-term friendship or a family member blames the world for their own problems. Do you have difficulty recognizing a healthy colleague, BFF or a loving family member? It is a limiting belief to think that everyone we know is good for us.
How can you prepare in advance for the unexpected Have you surrounded yourself with yet another toxic person? AGAIN? How can you prevent the wrong people from entering your life? It’s a limiting belief to think that you are helpless when things fall apart in your life.
While some people are a perfect match for others, don’t assume they are right for you. The very same people who may be the right match for someone else may be very wrong and even toxic for you. It is a limiting belief that a reasonable person is suitable for all people.
Ask yourself if you are addicted to the drama of having the wrong people in your life.
Would you be willing to have a typical regular day rather than a day full of drama?
It is a limiting belief to think that you need toxic people to have excitement in your life. Without them, would people be interested in hearing about your typical day? Can you still entertain your friends or family without having a rant or a dramatic story? It is a limiting belief to think that you are attractive because of the wrong people in your life.
Types of people you want to avoid
The wrong people add to your stress. They hold you back and do everything in their power to drag you down. So, how can you recognize whether a person is actually helping you or hindering you?
The Judgmental people
Toxic people that are judgmental pull you down. They do not encourage you. These types of people degrade and belittle others. Be aware and alert to their criticisms about others and YOU.
The Gossiper
Don’t waste your time with toxic people that gossip. Gossipers get satisfied with the misfortunes of others. They never get tired of feeding themselves with gossip. Connect with people who are interesting rather than are interesting because they gossip. What are gossipers saying about you when you aren’t around?
The Taker
Be careful of the leech – they are parasites that take and don’t give. They might act as a friend and will do everything to win you over anybody else so they can manipulate you. They want your relationship with them to remain as is, which is the reason why they often hold you back.
The Accuser
Accusers are selfish and blame everyone else for their problems. Be careful, for soon, the accuser will blame you for something and then you will be the one to critique yourself.
The Hider
The hider is a talented actor. This toxic person will spend a lot of time making you believe that they are looking out for you. They look out for themselves.
If you find yourself surrounded by toxic people, you are in control to end the relationship. The prevention of a disease is always cheaper and less painful than the medicine itself. When you prevent toxic people from entering your life, you will save yourself pain, worry and hurt.
If you feel like you’re surrounded by the wrong people, keep in mind this…
Are you a natural-born superhero? When you help and save others, you forget about saving YOU. Toxic people have a well-oiled radar to distinguish heroes like you. As a result, they make you forget about your own priorities. Stop all the rescue operations and concentrate on yourself.
Toxic people operate as predators. They seek the weak, the loveable and the vulnerable. Predators or manipulators don’t care about your plans or needs. They get what they need and move on without regrets.
Instead of giving you a sense of appreciation or gratitude, toxic people demand more from you. With healthy relationships, there is authentic and genuine reciprocity. A toxic person is like a bottomless pit who absorbs all your energy. Are you surrounding yourself with toxic people for an exchange of love or friendship? Are you unable to recognize that they might be using you?
Carefully choose the people in your life. Trust them, but then you must also verify. Keep your life away from the negativity. Be willing to cut your losses and move on. Don’t let toxic people intoxicate you. Do not sacrifice yourself.
You are the #1 person to ensure that you avoid further toxicity. To feel free, positive and healthy, remove toxic people from your life. Love yourself!
