The Best Ways To Dealing With Toxic People

For most people such a confrontation is not easy, so if you cannot be that blunt then ignore them.

• Stop engaging with them in their conversations.
• Stop going to events where they are going.
• Stop pretending you like them.
• Stop being okay with the toxicity they bring.

And instead:

• Talk about what you want to talk about. Leading the conversation actively and forcefully if you have to.
• Create events that are more amazing that you do not invite them to.
• Tell them how you feel as directly, honestly and bluntly as you can.
• Make it clear you will not tolerate their negativity in your space.

This will work for most people but not everyone.

Those that are already deeply ingrained in your life, those that see your positivity as prey, and those that are so miserable they have to make others miserable to feel better will not be dealt with by just ignoring them.

With people like that that are too toxic you must be harsh.

Your boundaries have to beat out their toxicity or they will continue to poison your surroundings.
