Some people love to play the victim, feel like victims, think like they are the victims and behave like victims to the circumstances that they themselves have created. Not so the winners.
I keep my life 99% drama free by sticking to this simple piece of advice:
'Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.' - George Bernard Shaw
โHaving dealt with a few of them, narcissists basically subscribe to a belief system that they should be able to do and say whatever the hell they want. And if we react to that, well, weโre not allowed to. Weโre not allowed to have a reaction to their actions.โ โ Taylor Swift
Gaslighting is when they repeatedly trigger your nervous system and mental health, but blame when you address their toxic behaviour โ they never accept accountability or discuss their disrespect.
Walk away from toxic people. They never take responsibility of anything wrong. It's always your fault. They have no remorse for their actions and don't understand what empathy is. They'll prove you're wrong. They'll justify their thoughts. There's no point arguing. Just walk away
As important as it is to learn how to deal with different kinds of people, truly toxic people will never be worth your time and energy โ and they take a lot of each.ย Toxic peopleย create unnecessary complexity, strife, and, worst of all, stress.
