“But if it comes at the expense of your own well-being, you’re being used and exploited.” This statement had a big impact on me because I had an experience where I felt I was used and exploited. The sad part about this experience that it was my bestfriend who did that to me.

This post sits in the back of my mind and I keep gravitating towards it. It really is rather good.

I forgot the lesson my greatest teacher taught me: “Avoid toxic people.” If someone is affecting your mental well-being, cut them off. It’s a nice lesson. But I’ve adjusted it. For me these days, it’s “Confront toxic people.” Stand up for the truth. If somebody is revealing a complete lack of humanity and/or knowledge, call them on it. They are a poison to society.
This is such a great reminder! I am learning about emotional vampires which goes along with your toxic people. Thanks.

Unfortunately, in life you must sometimes deal with toxic people. You don’t need to socialize with them but you sometimes encounter them in business situations. My rule of them is simply treat them like anyone else but where possible avoid them

Completely, COMPLETELY agree with this statement. I cannot stand Toxic people and attitudes in my life at all.
