We’ve all been around people that can
elevate us, and then we can also have people that hinder our ability to be the
best version of ourselves, just by the toxicity of the connections we have with
them. We can often be afraid to speak up and confront those who produce toxic
vibes, and this can then keep us in toxic relationships, friendships, or even jobs,
due to this toxicity and how we can get trapped in the cycles it brings. The
more we get upset and put down by these types of relationships, the more our
inner confidence and self-esteem can be negatively affected by this. Some people
are great at holding the illusion of being lovely, kind, and all-round nice and
friendly, but on the inside, they are very different. These types of toxic
relationships can be more subtle than the Mood
Hoovers and Debbie Downers we
have looked at already but can still have a massive impact on us. It's good to
just notice how we feel about the people in our lives, and if they are
impacting us, it’s time to look at who they are and of course how we are behaving
too.
