I did not choose this
@helloCranberry5684 Sometimes we just have to take, things as they come.
Like it or not.
I hope this helps, some what.
@helloCranberry5684
no one chooses / the only choice you have is how you react to them
do not let their toxic attitudes or personality grow onto you..... Find an outlet journal or kickboxing imagine karma hitting your toxic people collection it helps to visualize lol.
@toughTiger6481 So true.
@toughTiger6481 I always had an outlet but it does not help. I gave everything what was mine to others to earn off it and now they act like I don't exist.
I have dealt with toxic family friends, amd co-workers my whole life. I let them control me and I used them as my crutch. It never helped but I anytime something bad happens, I addmediatly went to those toxic people. I cause I always wanted to believe they actually cared about me but I've realized, they only care about their opinions on me and would constantly put me down. I have now set a distance with everyone who is toxic to me. I have learned to say this everymorning, "I love myself and can control my own happiness!" Only I can control my actions and reactions. To my family now, I have distanced myself but I try to.just message them good morning text and that'd it. You've got this.
@mcooper7583 Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@mcooper7583 even if you get away, abuse stays with you in your memories. There are too many toxic people out there.
I know and that's what's sooo scary

You can choose your life skills. Think of it as armour against people hurting you. The better you equip yourself, the less it hurts. Life skills are the shield that reduce the damage.
Like this book for example —> In Sheep’s Clothing, by George K. Simon (free on z-library).
Perfect for what you’re referring to.
@777CREW I have skills. They are of little help.
I walked right into that 🤦♂️ 🤐
You all gave very thoughtful and and very practical solutions btw.

i feel you. Mostly we cannot choose the surroundings we live in, but we are the host of ourselves. if there are toxic ideas or personalities, just leave them alone. There are always bright spots in life. Keep going and equip yourself, you will gradually find like-minded people.
hope this helps.
