Identifying Toxic People

Not all difficult people are toxic, but there are certain red flags to watch out for:

• They are manipulative. They may use guilt, flattery, or even threats to get what they want.
• They are gaslighters. They may deny things they said or did, or try to convince you that you are crazy.
• They are bullies. They may intimidate, threaten, or even physically harm you.
• They are users. They may only be interested in what you can do for them, and not in reciprocating.

• Set boundaries. Let the toxic person know what behaviors you will not tolerate.
• Say no. Learn to decline requests or invitations that make you uncomfortable.

• Walk away. If all else fails, you may need to distance yourself from the toxic person. This can be difficult, but it is essential for your well-being.
• Seek support. Talk to a trusted friend, family member, therapist, or support group about what you are going through. They can provide support and guidance.
