“It’s all because of you!”, “You constantly ruin everything!”, “You only think …”-are such expressions familiar to you? If so, it is likely that a person with toxic behavior is nearby.
The psychologist Ekaterina Zinass explains on what signs such people can be calculated and how to protect themselves from their destructive influence, UNIAN writes.
Five typical phrases issuing a toxic person:
– “This is your fault!” – “You always/never …” – “It seems to you …” – “But I have …” – “You don’t understand me at all!”
But the point is not only in words. Toxic people can be recognized by other characteristic features. They tend to focus solely on the negative, silent about your successes and virtues.
Conversations with them are most often reduced to their own experiences, interests and problems. Your feelings and thoughts remain without attention – the ability to listen and support them is practically absent.
Another feature is a passion for gossip. Such a person enjoys discussing others behind him, willingly shares hearing and gossip.
In addition, their mood can change dramatically for no apparent reason. A toxic person easily draws others into his emotional differences, using guilt or responsibility as an instrument of pressure.
The advice of a psychologist is simple: minimize contact with such people, establish clear personal boundaries and do not allow manipulations to destroy your internal balance.
Previously, the psychologist called the principle that helps to build Happy relationship.
