Eliminate The Toxic People In Your Life !

[WTFliberals]

Get rid of people in your life that hold you back. This is a wake up call for some of you guys. Some of you guys are friends with people that are holding you back in life. And that’s not good.

We are a product of our environment, and our environment includes people we associate with. Look around you. People in their social circles act and dress alike. People that hang out together often think and talk the same way. That’s why they enjoy each other’s company. Even at work. Everyone agrees with everyone. Rarely does anyone go against the grain. Having the wrong people in your life can be detrimental to your career, your confidence, your social life…everything.

Let’s break it down by the different types of toxic people that we are surrounded by:

The Negative One

Some people are just negative. They complain about everything. Nothing is good enough. Everything sucks.

If you have good news or something good happens to you and you share this information with a negative person, he rains on your parade. He’s not happy for you. He tries to find a way to bring you down or say something rude.

Maybe you want to change and improve your life. That negative fucktard will try to come up with a bunch of reasons why you shouldn’t even try. Negative people aren’t evil. They just think differently and are a negative voice in your ear. Their negativity may start rubbing off on you if you’re not careful.

The Scared One

Scared people can be really detrimental to your growth as an individual. They’ll always try to hold you back because they unconsciously hold themselves back. The scared one doesn’t want to rock the boat and if you want to do something out of the norm he’ll freak out.

Scared people can come from anywhere – your work, your social circle, your college, your family, random strangers…

Be careful of associating with scared ones because they will hold you back from doing what you want to do out of fear of consequences. They will rub off on you and make you start thinking like a scared pussy too.

The Unsupportive One

The unsupportive person is the one that doesn’t want to see you change or improve your life. He likes you for who you are. And when you change he starts to think you’re leaving him behind. He’d rather you stay who you are today so you two can be miserable together.

This sad person gets jealous if you start to get things in your life because you put yourself out there. He’ll criticize and question your decisions. He’ll make you feel bad for wanting to be different. He will try to sabotage your growth.

Stay away from anyone that is unsupportive, especially if you are trying to improve your life. They will try to beat you down and make you stay who you are for their own selfish reasons.

The Shit Talking One

Some people just like to talk shit about other's processes and plans because it makes them feel better about themselves. They talk all this shit to you because they want you to agree with them. In turn you either start to talk shit too or change how you think about people, processes, and plans.

The shit talking person is a loser. He’s inferior to other people and tries to feel superior by bringing other people down. This type of person can never help you out in life. Stay away.

The Choice Is Yours

I know how hard it is to eliminate the toxic ones from your life. I’ve had to do it multiple times. This included betas that were good friends that I went to college with, other’s I did business with, and some that I worked with. But there comes a point in everyone’s life that you have to decide whether or not you should continue to associate with betas or if it’s time to move on from them.

Personally, when I steered clear of these people that were in my life, I was finally able to be free. Free to do what I want. Free to think how I wanted to think. Free to live my life.

People come in and out of your life for a reason. Some people hang out longer than others. losers are like the annoying ones that overstays their welcome. You don’t have to be rude or hurtful when you eliminate these people in your life. Just let them be. Move on and be around people that can help you in life.

Another type is criminals and super rowdy types.

Sounds like common sense, but sometimes you don’t know at first.

But the bottom line is if someone seems sketchy/shady to you, it’s probably for a good reason and hanging out with them can get you in lots of trouble that you just don’t need in your life, whether it’s trouble with the law or other things.

For example, I’ve had friends who ended up being heroin addicts and they would use me to get their fix. It was better hanging out with no one than them.

[WTFliberals]

Very good point my friend.
Additional type of toxic people indeed !!!

[Anonymous]

I’m going to add the one where it’s your day but you have that one friend that always always makes sure to make your day about them. It never ever fails.

[WTFliberals]

I know them... lol
Such an insecurity.

[Opinion Owner]

Agreed!

[HOAAH]

This is my sister

[Opinion Owner]

@HOAAH that’s sucks!

[HOAAH]

Yah it does. On my wedding, she tried to make everything about her. If i didn't do my veil a certain way, she would threaten me and show how angry she was that i wasn't pleasing her.

[Opinion Owner]

@HOAAH oh wow! What did you say? Did you do it anyway?

[HOAAH]

No i didn't, i let her be angry and tell her to go ahead with her threats

[Opinion Owner]

@HOAAH that’s awesome! That’s exactly what you should have done!

Oh, another piece about “toxic people”. Radioactive person here. Composed of superheavy transurans with atomic number above 110. :-)
You see…the problem, with people like you, is your blindness. “They complain about everything. Nothing is good enough.” How about that others might see problems, where you can’t? It’s all about the blindness of positiveness. About being smart to spot mistakes and problems. Imperfections aren’t obvious to everyone.
So, you saying something about negative fucktards (even though I don’t fit the description, as I just learned), I can say something about positive fucktards. Everything is fine for them. How far this get us? No, it’s the people, for who current state of things isn’t good enough, who brings better and better ideas. You see, the ability to spot problems and ability to find better ways is what got us from caves in Africa to global society. If everyone would be just…positive and fine with everything, we wouldn’t move anywhere.
I agree that “negative” people think differently. And this is exactly what you need. World isn’t sunshine and rainbows. Things, which works don’t need attention. Problems need solving. And guess what. While you, positive people, are having your sunshine days, there are other people, who just solve problems. So, you can live better life.
I guess I don’t fit the description of either type though. Even with the belief that nothing is good enough (because stagnation is what comes after embracing this belief). If something good happens to someone else, I don’t look for something negative.
Scared people or just careful? You see, again, actions have their consequences and what you’re perceiving as being scared, might just be that someone doesn’t want those consequences.
I could go on for longer, but I have 1800 chars already, so…

Exactly, we are perfectly imperfect. All people are. As soon as we start seeing people as what they can do for us, we miss out the fact that everyone, no matter how flawed, has innate worth. We shouldn't identify with our behavior or the behaviors of others. When we judge others, we are essentially coming from the same place we judge ourselves. We become unbending, cold, hard, without understanding or empathy. We stop forgiving ourselves, we hold ourselves to standards that are unrealistic, nothing will ever be enough. We see people as a reflection of ourselves rather than individuals with their own struggles.

[WTFliberals]

Congratulation !!!
You just fitted the whole categories. lol

I believe the reason you felt threatened by this, is because you see yourself with flaws but unable to take actions to solve it.
I'm talking about the self improvements that is personal to that person and how he/she can continue to work on to have a better life. and most important is to remove yourself from toxic people that tells them its OK to be weak or be miserable.
No. its not ok my friend. even if your mind tricked you !
Life is short and there is no way I will hang on to someone that is stopping me from achieving my PERSONAL goals. think about it this way or keep thinking of me as Asshole because your own insecurities prevents you from doing the same.
if you want normal life, then that's OK. its your own choice.
But not all people like you who want to actually take actions and do something for their lives rather than smothering the positive minded ones.
Thanks for proving my point mate ! and have a good day.

[Nivinxus]

Yep, agreed 1000%

People often mistake us for the fact that we aren't afraid of problems and such. I'd like to think that yeah, there are problems, but problems are solvable, can't just say 'shit the world is dead, why bother?'. It's because we work for having a good life that we deal with problems efficiently and effectively.

Most positive people aren't naive and blind to the fact that there is some bad stuff happening around the world, we just don't let these problems bring us down from what WE want as a person.

[WTFliberals]

Exactly man. keep up the good work and have a nice day.

Ironically, a very toxic, shallow article masquerading as edgy and profound. I've read this shit a thousand times before, but the issue with articles like this always is no human being really fits neatly into one of these headings, and everyone could be shoved into one or more depending on the light you want to view them in.

I don't know any people who just complain about everything, but I do know some who I would term as "whiney". Doesn't make them bad people, and it gives me something to jab them for. I know some "scared ones" too, generally suffering from some sort of anxiety disorder. I'm thinking of one girl in particular who can't so much as go to the bar, but if you can get her talking she will have the most intelligent conversations. And the way you handle a shit-talker is to tell them to shut the fuck up and mind their own business. You don't have to "start talking shit too".

In summation, if you cut out anyone who could be perceived as having one of these traits, you would be left with very few options. And I'm sure those options would have some other "toxic" traits. Also, judging people by their worst quality is a good way to become pretty toxic. Just my opinion.

[WTFliberals]

Not all people are toxic for sure !!!
And its not about only one incident and then cut them loose, its about a set of behaviors that effecting your personal life badly !!!
Don't worry if someone cuts you off and focus on yourself first kid.

In high school, I was surrounded by all kinds of toxic people, always telling me I shouldn't do this, or I can't do that, etc. It was their way of having fun by jacking me around. I now rarely take the advice of ANYONE, because I still remember all the shit from long ago, and assume that just about all advice is either lies or bullshit.

[WTFliberals]

Thats true. be careful from what kind of people to take advise from. always try to surround yourself with good people.

[PellakaWurm]

saw the picture and thought of this one XD, but joking aside I do agree with you that while it is difficult, cutting toxic people out of your life is a good thing to do.

[WTFliberals]

Exactly man. lol
Be like Tom it is.

[HOAAH]

I hate shit talkers... they judge you for everybody and when you succeed they say stuff like they can't understand why you would succeed... because they think you are a loser but in reality they are the sore losers

[WTFliberals]

Exactly. that's happened to me once ! and the funny thing is when I had some hard times they were the first ones point that to me too ! lol
Just get rid of them. not worth to waste your time.

[cupidkisses]

Shit talking ones are the worst. They always tell you that "you can't do" or "you dream too big". And ruin your beautiful plans. So it is better not to listen to them.

[WTFliberals]

Exactly. probably cause they hate their lives and hate to see someone step up to change his/her life !

[cupidkisses]

Yepp.

[lord_chilled]

The borderline criminal and gangster types were basically the only types i ever reduced contact or cut off.
Other than that, i dont associate with negative minded people in the first place.

Only loyal, supportive people for me.

[THEReAlLOVEGuRu]

You just described 90% of society nowadays I just stick to myself

[WTFliberals]

Keep your head high my friend.

[Anonymous]

Well i fit none of these categories, yet i'm still considered toxic by my ex. So i guess i fit in the "I don't care about you anymore" category

[WTFliberals]

Maybe she is the toxic one !
some people can't be satisfied no matter what.

[Opinion Owner]

really though, i think she is the toxic one not to sound harsh, but i still love her, and it's more me waiting for HER to turn her mood around than myself

[8string]

what if I am toxic? do I eliminate myself?
This is illegal in my country as it is against the law to destroy taxable government property
