We all have them. We all have toxic people in our lives.

And It can be anyone, a best friend, a family member, anyone. Toxic people are not the kind of people you should surround yourself with. You should surround yourself with people who love you and don’t care about the small things.

You should respect yourself by cutting out people who don't respect you.

Toxic people will attack you for anything that you do: your eating habits, your music taste, the way you walk, the way you dress, the way you hold yourself, hanging out with someone other than them.

They will find everything that they see wrong with you and try and fix it so “other people can tolerate you”. Toxic people will also pull the dumbest things out of their asses just to prove to you that they are a “good friend”. If someone needs to prove that they’re a good friend, they are NOT a good friend.

Cutting someone out of your life is a long and painful process. You know so much about this person, they know so much about you.

It feels as if it’s unfair that you’re cutting them out because (for example) they’re your best friend and you would do anything for them. But think about all of the things they have done that have hurt you.

In the end, you are the most important person in the situation and you are not in the wrong. You have to think about yourself. Putting yourself first is the best thing that you can do for yourself.

If you read this, think about what you have done to your friend. If you do any of these things to any of your friends, acknowledge it, and apologize.
