Being near a person like this can not only take a toll on your mental health but the physical. Here are the signs to look for.
Passive aggressive comments. They make themselves feel better by making you feel bad. “You look great! See what happens when you care about your appearance?” is a great example.
Gaslighting. It’s when a person convinces another that they are “remembering things wrong.” And eventually the alternate reality sticks.
Blaming Others. A toxic person can’t accept responsibility for anything they have done. In the end, the other takes the blame when they actually have none.
They are never wrong. Alternate facts come into play here.
Drama. Toxic people love it! They backstab, bed-hop and manipulate.
They lack empathy. This is a big one. They certainly can’t support you if they really don’t care.
If someone you know fits this mold. Run away. Fast.
