How do you deal with a toxic relative?

[sheikalana]

Do you deal with them at all. If not, how do you do during family reunions? I’m really bad at faking my emotions.

I’m still young but I do have toxic relatives. My mum usually ignores them, but is polite whenever they try to initiate conversation. Is it possible for you to just make an appearance and leave early?

If they provoke you or trigger your negative emotions, like criticizing you or constantly putting you down, it is best that you leave that place immediately and get some air. Try taking deep breaths and try to think of something that makes you happy.

I don't deal with them, I just ignore them no point in sinking down into the muck at their level.. If they give a shit they will raise to your level... or not.

[Zondahyura22]

Ignoring them if they kept their toxicity then time to set boundaries and stop them

[sheikalana]

I agree.

[JuanVelasco2]

I don't live with toxic relatives, the relatives I don't like, I rarely see.

[Waldoe]

No one deals with me... hehehe

[anon1903]

I sweet talk them.

[MrTaboo]

See them only if I have to

[sheikalana]

No. Not really.
