I Will Not Be Involved With Toxic People

People Are Not Inherrently Toxic....
Remember this, one and all. Things that have happened to people can make them turn away from parts of themselves. These tend to then eat away at other parts, but because their back is already turned, they do not notice. Then their world changes in their eyes, and they start to twist things. Things like people listening to them and being there for them, become simple chats with friends - there's nothing wrong... Nothing at all. And so it goes on - and if left with people who just say "yes" all the time agreeing with them and comforting them by saying they're right, then they become a drain on anyone they meet.
What to do? If someone starts having a go about things, then sway them back to neutral. Short term it's more effort, but long term it'll raise them up to a higher level of understanding that's required to be untoxic. People have to understand events that are happening within them to be untoxic, and you don't get that by never being contradicted!
Feedback welcome - even though my profile may be a little unorthodox... Please be open!
