Toxic people may not inherently be bad people, but theyāre clearly not the people we would want to spend our free time with.
When it comes to toxic behaviour, not all toxic people are uncaring or agonising on purpose, although I can see why we think that they are, particularly if we happen to be on the receiving end. Toxic people can have and show good intentions.
A toxic personās needs and way of existing in the world will force our hand for us to compromise our own happiness and as hard as that is for us, we have to give ourselves healthy space away from their behaviour and toxicity.
Unfortunately toxic people arenāt aware theyāre toxic and thatās because theyāre consciously in denial about how toxic they really are. They donāt live or have to deal with themselves, so never equate their behaviour. Any toxic behaviour is usually a reflection of how we see ourselves and that reflects in how we see and deal with others.
Until we understand how toxic we are, or how toxic we have become, there is nothing anyone can do. We have to see our behaviour for ourselves. From my own experience, toxic behaviour isnāt something we get used to or come to accept, because itās unnerving, but is something we must learn to deal with; or get out.
There is always room for change. Toxic people can change, but we have to see that we need to change and thatās part of the problem. We donāt think we need to change. Either way there is no excuse.
