Welcome to this big evil world of selfish people everywhere. These manipulative individuals are playing board, orchestrating family feuds, indirectly socially bully someone, or misinterpreting someone's to seek a reaction from another. Their objective is clear, defame others to look better or make hay from the confusion they have instrumented, and some have sadistic attributes. They enjoy the feud they have staged and sinker while others are in pain for no fault of theirs. These self-centred people to benefit shall instigate a reaction from you by infecting your mind with pollutants, abusive, unsupportive, unhealthy rumours about a person they wish to defame. They are crafty enough to emotionally blind you to initiate the desired action while they gain you are the recipient of the harm. In case you buckle under pressure and spill the beans, all they have to say is "what did I say" or "you misunderstood the communication and construed it your way". However, you are labelled as the offender with a dirty mind and the wrong intention.
You don't have to look hard for such people, and these canaries are sitting on every branch in this concrete jungle. They are sweet as honey with their cunning tactics, silently in the most conspicuous way gaining your confidence to ingrain their mutilated thoughts waiting like a vulture for you to react. React you will, as they know you're so well and use the right stimulus that appeals to your most venerable side. You are in their spell, and you don't even know it. They become your best buddies and shower empathy and praises that blot you out of proportion. You, like a zombie, follow every direction given by them. You are so full of their opinionated views that you start accepting them as your own, and you probably are not even aware as to when this change took place before you realize it is too late. You may recognize some of them in rare cases, but you are so full of obligation that you have little or no choice to put up with them.
These egocentrics conceal their toxicity in a way that most around you would deny them being even close to such gross allegation. No doubt that you shall have to take it onto yourself the shameful act. You must make yourself aware and intelligent enough to recognize and negate their cruel intentions. You have to acquire the knack to recognize them and beat them at their game without becoming one.
Once you identify these venomous individuals, the best advice is to move away or keep them at arm's length. Initially, it might be difficult and disturbing; however, you shall thank yourself for taking this stand at a later date.
Identifying these toxic people.
They are always sweet to you and full of criticism in a comparative way. The subtlety in an advisory fashion injects criticism about someone, or in the most unpleasant but socially acceptable way, shows someone's accomplishments in a feeble light. In case you feel hesitant in sharing any information with this person for any reason, including the fact that it may attract a negative response. Most likely, the individual is a toxic person. Anybody who makes you feel bad for doing something good is a problem.
Consider that even though a toxic person speaks words of criticism or blame toward you or someone you are associated with, the reason for their behaviour has absolutely nothing to do with you or the person they speak about. It's their embedded code to approach everything from a negative standpoint.
They are on a crusade to preach negativity to the extent that it affects you and ruins any expectations that you may have. They are like Brood parasites seeding their negative emotions in your mind for you to process them to their advantage.
They shall never cooperate or support you. You somehow get them to the judgement stands. They shall crucify you for the negativity. Toxic people have an uncanny knack of turning the tables on to you and walking out clean. There's one thing you must remember: just since you will do something for them doesn't mean they will do the same for you. Once you have netted their objective, you could be their next target, while the instrument might be someone else.
They're always negative. Not an exaggeration. These toxic types always have something negative to say. Benefits, deeds, products, situations, or individuals you believe are great, they shall smithereens it, with their negative talk.
Additionally, on top of it all, they will try to make you feel as crappy as they do by dragging you down to their miserable level. Their negative energy will wear out the energy field of yours.
Suppose you have to limit your limited interactions with them. If you are stuck, then paly a better game, or you can never beat them.
Toxic people get miserable when they cannot influence people their way, and they are known to get into a rage and offensive. They shall use all their powers to ensure their plans are executed, they are irreparable, and thus no sense can be beaten into them. Your choice is to distance yourself as much as possible. In fact, cut all ties with them.
