@FreeSpirit1 Do you bury the bodies or just let the buzzards have’em? 😂😂😂

@TexChik No the pigs make them disappear 😉

I had to open Youtube so that the music played…beautiful song!
I find that some of the closest people by blood are the ones that are most toxic.
Parents…siblings since they don’t value the relationship or behavior between each other.

@Silentpleasure
I have discontinued communication with some in my family because it easily becomes abusive like fighting.
Thank goodness I have a brother who suspends judgement. He went through what I did growing up.

@Pfuzylogic My stepmom and baby sister are the only ones i still comminicate with.

@Silentpleasure
That sounds very similar to me.
My “little” brother and stepmom I consider to be very free of toxicity.

@Silentpleasure I'm serious. I mean if people want to make you miserable just move out. You're better off alone than miserable.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

@Eklipse Oh I was agreeing with you!

Eklipse · F

@Silentpleasure Just wanted to get more of my point across I guess :P

Make sure they hold no importance. They only have power over you if you allow it.

@Silentpleasure Always and that's ok, it is life as we know it.

I ignore them.

Disgustedman · 61-69, M

Within the next 180 days I'll be moving three and a half hours away from them. And then I am going to really get out and enjoy myself for what little time I have left.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

@Disgustedman Happy to hear you have another adventure to look forward too!

That specific person happens to be the one who fetches my burgers and stuff, so i just refrain from blowing a fuse, and spend as little time as possible around the guy.

Lets see, what is the nice "go to" phrase for people who think differently (toxic) on social media? Oh yes, feel sorry for them or pity them.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

@AtticEscapee Im not that nice!

Heartlander · 80-89, M

I keep them at arm's length ... or maybe at such a length that I can't even see them.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

@Heartlander over the horizon works for me!

Dan193 · 31-35, M

Change the subject or find a way to get out of the convo, or just leave.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

@Dan193 Not always just a simple conversation to escape.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Silentpleasure I mean how does the toxicity manifest? Usually it's them having toxic convos, or doing toxic things. Either try to divert it to something else, or leave.
