A toxic person is anyone who is stuck in an endless cycle of negativity and who drags everyone around into them down.

Dont try to fix them, because the vast majority of the times you cant them. Here are the most toxic of them all that you must avoid: 1. Abusive Men I write men as most abusive individuals, albeit not all, are men. There are several types of abusive men, but all have something in common: Possessiveness Entitlement (to being served, revered, taken care of) Controlling behavior Manipulations Many abusive men, especially the nonviolent ones, will keep the worst behavior behind closed doors. But as soon as you get a sniff of any of the above signs, run for the heels. Scarface is an example of abusive man with his sister (controlling behavior): Read more: Types of abusive men Signs of abusive relationships 2.

Emotional Vampires Emotional vampires act and believe as if everyone has to pander to their problems and emotional needs. Your issues dont matter because, well.. Theirs do. They never stop to wonder if they are bothering you, or if you have something else to do. In their mind you are on this earth to act as their emotional tampon. There are several types and layers of emotional vampires: Conversation hoggers (you cant get a word in) Victims (always in trouble and need your help) Validation seekers (want to hear how good they are) The Good Girl has an example of some of the worst kinds of emotional vampires.

Thats a mix of emotional vampir-dom, drama queen and addictive personality. 3. Addictive Personalities You can be certain certain of two things in life: death and and that an addict will always try to get without giving. Addictive personalities tend to get addicted more than others, to all kinds of substances: Cigarettes Alcohol Food Drugs Sex Gambling Thrills You name it. And theyre always looking for the next fix. 4. 4.

Drama Queens Everything is drama in the life of a drama queen. They have one problem after the other, and they love blowing things out of proportion. If one problem miraculously get solved -rarely thanks to their initiative- another one looms even larger. Dont even try to help them out or recommend them a course of action: they have an approach of impotency to life. You just wouldnt understand how hard it is, they will say. Its not like they can fix it, you know.

They prefer complaining and complaining. Their life, the war in TV, the economy, their spouse Drama queens will never change, they attract drama or they make it up. So unless you enjoy drama yourself, stay away. 5. Jealous-Bitter These are the people who are jealous about those who have it better. Nope. Nope.

They got lucky. Or cheated, or slept their way to their promotion. These toxic individuals show their hand with backstabbing, backtalk, spreading rumors and mean comments.

Also with narcissists -or even more with narcissists- its all about them.

They live in a world of glitter and appearances. And in narcissist-dom, they always hold a prestigious position in society. Even when they are at the bottom. Indeed narcissists have an overblown image of themselves. And if you couple that with weak ago, you understand why they are always seeking confirmation. To keep up their image of high status, this brand of toxic people obsesses with what others think and with the external signs of wealth and power.

Notice her attention to form and her vanity. And of course her reaction to her daughters news. Even her daughters pregnancy is about how it negatively affects her. Read more here: How narcissistic mothers ruin their daughters 7. Sociopaths & Psychopaths Sociopaths and psychopaths can be openly violent. But they can also be hidden and sneaky.

They are extremely selfish, they feel no empathy or regret and they are obsessed with domination and winning. This makes for an explosive mix. Indeed, they often see life as a big chess game. And the people around them are the pawns they will try to move -or destroy- with their games and machination. Possibly sociopaths and psychopaths are the most toxic individual in this whole list. Donald Trump might as well be a sociopath.

Look at his behavior in these instances: Trump debate Trump VS Macron Trump humiliates Macron Regina in Mean Girls also presents narcissistic and sociopathic traits: 8. Vacuous, No Heart This is different than the psychopaths or sociopaths way of being vacuous. The high functioning psychopaths and sociopaths will pretend of having feeling to better integrate (and play their games). But the vacuous will make no effort to look like a normal, emphatic person. What do you mean. Thats a question right there.

LOL that says everything you need to know. Vacuous can be a reaction to abuse experienced as children. A good movie for this type of dynamics is the movie Mysterious Skin -but its a difficult movie to watch, youve been warned-. 9. Chronic Liars Sometimes there are a good reasons for which even honest people need to lie. But chronic liars are different.

They dont lie because they have to. And sometimes not even becasue its good for them. Chronic liears just lie all the time. Sometimes its simply counterproductive to lie And theyll still lie. Are you waiting for them? They are almost there, just a couple of blocks away. They dont show up in the next 10 minutes? Theyre just one block away now And once they get there, no they didnt lie about their location! They were late because of traffic or because theyve been held up.
