Toxic people

There are people who leave us sad, depressed, unwell and who rarely have a positive outlook on life to convey to us. They are people who do not add anything to us, bring us nothing good and still poison our days. I have a "friend" that is toxic for me, everytime I speak with her I feel depressed, she always have more problems than anyone else and never pay attention to what I am telling her because her problems are more important, everything is a problem to her and she can see problems in my life that I don't even know they existed This negativity is destroying our relationship, she called me a few minutes ago to ask me if I want to take a coffee with her tomorrow, I lied and I said that I can't because I just don't want to be with her. I took the decision to stay away from her from now on, I think it is the best thing for me as she seems to poison my days and use up my energy. Do you have this kind of people in your life? If so, what do you do?

Yes I do, every day in fact. He is so negative and horrible a person so unhappy. What I do is ignore it now and make the most of my own life.

Not anymore! I rid myself of all toxic people years ago and am much happier for it. You are wise to do the same.

I think everybody has someone like that in their life who seems to poison the very air they breathe. I avoid those kind of people like the plague. I am a very positive and optimistic person, so I don't want all that negativity in my life. We only get one chance at life on this rock, so we might as well make the most of it, instead of sulking and being depressed all the time.

Negativity seems to attract bad things, I just want to stay away from her, I don't feel well when I am with her.

I had met one people like this but slightly different as she was talking too much about her kids and feel proud and makes other down. And now she cuts all the relationship with her own relatives.

People that thinks that they are better than others should be avoided too.

It's hard to be friends with those kind of people or to spend a lot of time with them. Thankfully, I do not have any friends like that.

No, life is to short to put up with nasty people. No negativity is allowed around us, we believe in being positive.

I used to have a friend like this but I don't see her any more. Such people really do suck the energy from you and are best avoided.
