  Speaker 1: Does the word toxic create a very specific image in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your mind? Do you think of a friend, a parent,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: or an ex? Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in your life is toxic. Do multiple people often say
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the same negative things about this one person? Do you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: agree with the group consensus? Or are you still unsure? Well,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: here are six ways to recognize a toxic person in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: your life. Number one, they're disrespectful of your time. Time
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is pretty much the most valuable thing we have. Is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: this person constantly late? And when they do show up,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: they don't give you an apology. Or do they talk
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: over you the entire time and you feel like it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: nearly impossible to get a word in? Toxic people often
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: make everything about themselves. You may feel like a brick
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: wall in what was otherwise supposed to be a two-way conversation.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: If you find this is happening to you, maybe try
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: spending more time with other people. Number two, Lack of boundaries.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: If the person is toxic, they might also devalue your boundaries.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Remember that it's okay to say no. You should never
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: be made to feel guilty for needing a day away
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: from everything. In many cases, this can be integral for
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your mental health. If this person calls and texts you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: multiple times asking to spend time with you and completely
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: ignores your request for a day to yourself, that's kind
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of toxic. Your day doesn't revolve around one single person.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and it shouldn't. It's important to place boundaries, especially at
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the start of a new friendship or relationship. Number three,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: jealousy of your success. When you do well on a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: test or get promoted at work, these are things that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: should be celebrated and cheered on. When you tell the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: person about your achievement, do they belittle it? Do you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: feel worse about yourself after having told them? People that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: are jealous of your success will go out of their
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: way to criticize you and your work. This can be
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: especially difficult to handle when it's a good friend or
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a close family member. Chances are the person is trying
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to knock you down a peg because they weren't able
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to accomplish a similar goal. Jealous people often project their
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: failures and insecurities onto others. Number four, feel like you're
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: walking on eggshells. If you ever had to walk on
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: eggshells around someone, It means you have to be very,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: very careful. Are you in a relationship with someone who
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: makes you feel that way? It can be nothing short
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of exhausting. Relationships, whether they're romantic or platonic, are built
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on the same bedrock of principles, trust and honesty. If
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you don't have either, the relationship simply isn't sustainable. Do
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you have to second guess everything you say and do
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: around them? This isn't healthy, nor is it fair to you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Number five, not taking responsibility. As human beings, we all
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: make mistakes. Admitting you're at fault for something is never fun,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: but it can make your mind, body, and soul feel
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a whole lot lighter. The toxic person, on the other hand,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is someone who never takes responsibility. This comes in all forms.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe they put the blame on you for their actions
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: or they make up excuses. Either way, refusing to take
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: responsibility is one of the key traits of a toxic person.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And number six, they're emotionally draining. If a person is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: an emotional drain on you, it's super imperative that you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: take stock of this. Toxic people will often latch onto
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: others like a parasite. A parasite needs another host to survive.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: On a subconscious level, you may have already clued into
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're toxic. There's a definite reason for this.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: On a phone, the battery drains faster when there are
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: multiple apps and tabs open. A toxic person will likely
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: feel like multiple apps all at once. Closing these will
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: keep your phone running faster and longer. Apply this principle
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to your life. Give it a try. Thanks so much
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: for watching. If you feel like you might be the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: one becoming toxic, we've got a video for that too.
