      @@kaihendee1139 Yes it is true. I caught myself in a mild projection with someone a few years ago. I apologized next time I saw them. They didn't know what I was apologizing for. I have been doing shadow work and watching for signs of disowning parts of myself.
      I likely still do it without awareness. Its why people have to call us on our stuff so we can evolve.

      3. Accentuate the positives by thanking them for their kindness and good behavior.
      4. Return the favor.
      5. Rinse and repeat.
      Invite them to church, for Christ's sake, because knowing how to serve our Good Lord's Will always comes 1st.

      Cut them off totally and quit whining about it. No contact. It works.
      And when your other "family members" pressure you, as they will, then you tell them that if they breach that boundary one more time that you will cut them off. Then follow through when they do it.
      You do not need them.
      You will be much happier in the long run Yes it reads cold.

    • @velvetbees
      @velvetbees 2 роки тому +2

      I'm really glad you mentioned putting ourselves on a path of improvement. I think most people work on improving themselves. I was once a person who wasn't very skilled at conversation. There is no shame in not befriending somebody like that. You never know exactly why people talk too much, or are boring, or interrupt, etc. I think when people talk about themselves all the time it's like a step too far. That's just too much.
      I used to be shy and awkward because I had an overbearing sibling who teased me a lot. So school was hard for me. I said the wrong things at the wrong time and talked too little or too much. My sibling is still immature, but that's okay. I got through it. I'm just reticent to label somebody a narcissist when they might have other reasons for it, and especially if they haven't figured out the social amenities yet. PS, however... A really good way to get out of a horrible conversation is to say, "I'd love to talk, but I have things to do." It's a little rude, but they'll get over it.

    I realised that I've been toxic in so many ways that u just mentioned. I'm not toxic anymore, atleast not according to me. But if u feel like u r one of these toxic people, don't beat urself up about it. The first step to becoming a better person is to acknowledge the fact that u r toxic. Be conscious about the way u act around other ppl, and talk to ur frnds and family about it. You will be okay, everything is amazing!!

      I wouldn't say everything is amazing if you're toxic, but it is good to know that you can work on your behaviors and stop yourself, or deliberately do the opposite of what you typically do. I myself am an emotional moocher, like Eeyore, but I try to keep a more optimistic attitude nowadays.

      +Heather LeBas Do you have a specific example. One thing I have learned on my own personal intellectual pursuits is that our western school systems don't teach us how to be human beings. The majority of the population don't actually understand how to have healthy conversations. So when I ask "do you have a specific example," I'm also asking "how do you know that you've had the healthiest conversations possible with that person. Did you do everything you reasonably can to come to a compromise.

      they could be at some point. I guess is all about "how much" they do that. Like someone can really have a terrible moment in life and be dramatic about it, and that's ok. The problem comes if its their inner personality 24/7. At least that's how I understand it, we all can have this behaviours at some point in life the diference is how far you take them i guess.

Of course no one wants to separate from their tribe, but sometimes it's the only way to survive.

      sakshi pathak We ALL are when we are at our worst because it's one of the flaws that makes us human.

They would be completely outraged and deeply 'wounded' by the mere suggestion. A toxic person is devoid of self-insight and will go to their grave unashamed of ANYTHING they have done because they truly believe that they are 'special'.

      +Yokky I don't think we shouldn't try to help people who are down and have problems, but it's different when it becomes apparent that they're just trying to bring the attention to themselves and do not care about your feelings.
      Unfortunately I have a "toxic" friend who is always upset about something. I've considered ignoring her because our conversations are always about her problems, and her legitimately telling me that my advice to her was ignorant and vacuous -_-
      So I agree with +Dei. If someone is leaving you physically and emotionally drained it's time to wring them out of your life and move on.

    I have to agree with some of the comments on here. "Toxic Person" has suddenly become a "trendy" and in my opinion nasty and spiteful way of describing someone who isn't all "sunshine roses and hysterically positive" all the time. Yes I daresay that there are folks who look on the gloomy side of life quite often. Maybe if all the "positive" all the time folks were to help these gloomy people, rather than say that they are "toxic", in other words "poison", they might start to feel a bit better about themselves! Yes I know I know! You have to learn how to feel better about yourself from yourself not others but maybe these "toxics" don't know how so.....how about all these life style experts show them how please? It is so very wrong, arrogant and smacks of bullying to call downhearted people toxic. I loathe that description of a person to be honest. The only people who could be called toxic are murderers or despots like Hitler. It's all over the internet now "how to deal with toxic people" etc. These people might just be severely depressed or have psychological problems from childhood. We must stop this dangerous name calling and generalising about people.

    • @IdiomofSad
      @IdiomofSad 8 років тому +12

      +Jools Factor-Jones Couldn't agree with you more.
      This is the result of a self obsessed society that lacks true interdepedence, humility, integrity and selflessness.
      I, myself used to embrace much of the independent lifestyle and mindset - but recently have been reading the well known book '7 Habits Of Highly Effective People'... and it has truly been opening my eyes. Introducing thoughts and ideas that I have always felt at my deepest core, but was not entirely sure how to incorporate them into my life. Feeling confused on many levels, by the plethora of information, like this video, that tells me in more or less words that it's wrong to care about the state of other people - especially when it gets in the way of your own mental or physical health.
      I agree that taking care of one's personal needs - physical and mental states are vital. But we live in a connected world - secluding others and condemning them for things that they probably are just uneducated on, seems dismissive, unmindful, demoralizing and even cruel.
      I understand that people want to live healthy lives, but my soul literally screams that true health is caring, concerned, enduring, empathetic as well as strong. Strong enough to show love, instead of hate.
      "How to spot a toxic person" feels almost toxic in its advice itself...
      We all need a helping hand and love sometimes in our life.
      And it is the Phoenix that rises from the flames... From what I've seen of this world, many people meet their darkest hour before blossoming into truly admirable characters.

      That was what I got one day from what here would be described as a Toxic Person. I won't go into her her personality, her issues. She has real problems. Some are horrible. My friendship, support for her, has been very stressful at times. Twice I have been able to keep her from killing herself. And the second time, knowing much more of her issues, I had a hard time coming up with a reason for her not to do it.
      I have known her now for over three years. It is an unusual relationship. My life would have been easier if I just abandoned her. But I haven't been able to. I care for her. She needs people to care for her. And I hope some of what I do will help her care about herself.

      Jools Factor-Jones yes. i am quite of a positive person myself and i see the same way. i see good in everybody and for me the gloomy people are having something with their life and they don't know how to control their emotions yet. that's why i always try to bring my positivity to them by being myself around them. but, i should be balanced too because they do suck my energy. i do not think anyone should avoid those people and they should be called "toxic". we were all born nice and innocent, it's the circumtances that shape our personalities.

    • @lucibloom5966
      @lucibloom5966 6 років тому +4

      True, though sometimes you are struggling so much with your own stuff that dealing with people who behave in these ways takes too much energy...that you need to survive. If you have the energy to spare and be human with them, then that's great, but it's not always realistic and it's also important to take care of yourself first otherwise these people will drain you...and that helps no one.
      I think it's ok to cut people off if it really becomes a situation where they put all their issues onto you, via projection and play harmful psychological games, or emotional abuse is present. Helping people who are only interested in taking from you and don't want help is not helping them or you...it's actually enabling them to destroy you.

    This video doesn't help in the slightest. First off, it's like impossible to have a person that doesn't have even one of the traits you listed. Also, you stated that these traits could belong to a toxic person, without providing any reasoning or backing as to why they could. At the end when you were "explaining" how to deal with toxicity, your pity answer of "Just say No" was extremely bland. How do you say no? The problem in most relationships is that the victim CAN'T say no!

I agree that coming from a non-judgmental loving place when dealing with toxic people is very good because yes they need love and yes they need help. However, I learned the hard way boundaries are very important because we should not allow anyone to emotionally abuse us. It doesn't help anyone and reinforces the toxic person's actions.

    To all the people commenting on this video suggesting that you might be 'toxic' and asking for help... My heart goes out to you, and I would like to suggest some things that helped me in my own personal journey.
    I highly recommend the book 'Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It'. This book couldn't be more vital in self healing.
    Also 'The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People' is a beautifully well thought out book that covers concepts like dependency and independence and more, that really helps one in understanding the human condition on a deeper level than the title of the book might suggest.
    I might also suggest that a healthy whole food diet could help. As having a healthy body also creates a healthy mind.
    I might also suggest the book 'Green For Life' as green smoothies have helped me tremendously in my own healing.
    I wish all of you people struggling with inner growth a beautiful journey towards health... and please do not let the judgements of other people sidestep you in your continued movement toward mental and spiritual health and growth.

      I understand what you are saying. But just like "women" are not all the same, neither are all "men" the same...we're human beings before we are anything else. I am always surprised when I hear ANYONE describe "men" as if they are talking about ONE person only, as if we have the same exact soul, instincts, feelings, thoughts, and hopes...WE ARE DIFFERENT from person to person. As for my comment, it was meant to be in jest, but it is actually TRUE of the wives who married my buddies and relatives...they are very much toxic, hurtful, insecure, and vindictive...and it's not because they are "women", it's because they have an instinct to destroy. I hope you are not depressed over such a silly comment like mine. "Society"? Don't know who you are referring to; mothers? the State? the Media industry? Whatever it is, I can tell you that most "men" don't even pay attention to what "society" says, demands, or thinks...which explains our hold on power, prestige, wealth, and just about everything else, except for secretarial work, veterinary medicine, and prostitution...but I'm just sayin'.

  • @anjaknatz7157
    @anjaknatz7157 5 років тому +1

    A clinical psychologist would never label a special type of personality or a personality disorder by one thing someone "feels" about somebody else. Be aware that it is EXACTLY the way with disordered people, they always label other ones than semselfes as insane or toxic, whenever they can not get them under control? What you try to spot out can all just be your own projection of what in fact is wrong with yourself. For example, a false self of a pathological narcissist will always be threatened by beeing questioned or confronted with logical argumentation. Because it is only a skindeep fasade it can not stand the test. They will always project any insane trait in themselfes on to you. So you are the toxic.. When you simply asks them for more information or discuss their made up points - they will accuse you of beeing aggressiv and mad. And when then they jump and shout and cut of conversation, it was because of your evil will to cause trouble. Logical argumentation for them is YOUR insane way to put them down. It is you who is toxic and no one can stand that. They will always be the poor victim, played out by a tocic person. So what I want to say - to spot out others by way of one characteristic trait can be an easy way to deny Reality because your own mental disorder wants you to see it in that special light. Negativ. No well trained psychologist labels other human beeings just by one trait. There has to be a whole set of them, to qualify a propper diagnosis. And what you seamingly made out in another sometimes says much more about you than the other. Take care of how you judge and how propriet your own judgement is, based on real knowledge, selfreflection and the will, to look at your own behavior rather than down labeling somebody else. Maybee what you so easily spot out can be all about yourself.

I'd be ashamed to give lessons on "toxic" people by starting off with calling others "crazy" and saying that I smell "the scent of a weirdo". Wow... Is this typology of "toxicity" valid scientifically? No. Scientists wouldn't make those generalisations and wouldn't use those words because they are not valid. The fact that some of these examples remind about some people to some extent doesn't give any merit to these generalised claims. All in all, this mode of thinking is more callous than helpful, more inhuman than human.

    Vanessa some useful tips but you are trying to say that everything not positive is 'toxic' whereas there is a vast spectrum of mental health issues where the person does not mean to be negative. Most of what you describe is about depression and low self esteem which vast numbers of people suffer from. A liar is a different matter and I find it difficult but, again, these people have issues and need help probably (although I do stay away from liars I admit). If we just spent time with those who help us be our 'best self' we would be very lonely indeed! I find some of this video toxic to be honest in its labelling of complexs behaviours under one banner ie 'toxic'. By these criteria every 99 percent of politiicians are toxic and that I do agree with!

Life is not just about being happy go lucky all the time, because this is what breeds emotional instability and depression in the first place! People must also be grounded in spiritual prayer and things that are metaphysical in nature. To peddle to people all of this bubble gum and feel good candy dribble, without actually addressing deeper philosophical issues will in the end catch up to that person.

    Pretty sums up almost every body I know. It feels SO good to have validation on why I feel yucky/upset/filled with self doubt/and exhausted after I get off the phone. Excellent video. 👍

    I am amazed at all the negative comments here...maybe from people who recognise these character traits in their selves and feel the need to put you down.
    I think this video is very helpful to people who are victims of narcissistic abuse syndrome and who need validation to nurture themselves and not stay helpless people pleasers. Thank you.

      +Michonne . Couldn't agree more. I too am amazed by the level of criticism, as well as the intentional misrepresentation of what she is actually saying. And yes, I too am now wondering if perhaps this is coming from people who have just now recognized themselves as the toxic people she so vividly described. Hopefully they will start doing something about their behaviour before they appear on other people's "Toxic people to dump" list. Kind of funny in a way. :)

    Im sort of an emotional moocher, seeing as I've been depressed as long as I can remember, but I am aware of it, and I try to suppress it at manageable level. Ive learned very early on what it's like to be rejected for being a pessimist.

    I watched the video on female alphas I was wondering if you can become an alpha or if people are boring that way or aren’t ? Or if you feel like an alpha in some situations but not others, how do you grow that and be consistent everywhere you go
