9 Things the Most Toxic People in Your Life Have in Common

We have all had toxic people and the difficults  of knowing toxic people came because they look like everyone else, talk like everyone else, and can even be disguised as your best friend, family member, or partner. "Toxic people are master manipulators, skilled liars, and great actors," Thomas says. "They can be hiding everywhere .


They are judgmental.
 Keep your eyes and ears open for criticismabout you, what you've done, and what you didn’t do. It’s never about them, and they will lie if it serves them.

They are easily jealous
The manipulator is so jealous that they try to control the target in an unhealthy way. This one is tricky because not all boundaries are valid. Toxic people use 'boundaries' as a means of control, and then play the victim role when their 'boundaries' are crossed or not respected"-


Selfishness and a crippling thirst for attention.
They drain the energy from you and consume your entire life. Their demand for adoration is insatiable. You thought you were the only one who could make them happy, but now you feel that anyone with a beating pulse could fit the role. However, the truth is: no one can fill the void of a psychopath’s soul.


Cracks in their mask.
There are fleeting moments when the charming, cute, innocent persona is replaced by something else entirely. You see a side to them that never came out during the idealization phase, and it is a side that’s cold, inconsiderate, and manipulative. You start to notice that their personality just doesn’t add up—that the person you fell in love with doesn’t actually seem to exist.

They are habitually dishonest.
Toxic people are known for their constant lies, even if they are about the smallest things. This could be a matter of exaggerating the facts of a story or truly making something up. They might do it because they have a very low self-esteem and they are trying to give it a boost, or perhaps it’s their way of getting what they want. If a toxic person is telling you an elaborate story, you can typically assume that it is only a half-truth.


They refuse to listen to you.
Toxic people act bored or change the conversation topic when you are talking. However, they expect you to listen to them when they’re the ones talking. Your talking takes away from any attention that could be on them and puts the focus on you.

They Crap on Your Hopes and Dreams
You’ll know you are in the presence of negative and toxic people if every time you announce something, they crap all over it and tell you a million reasons why you can’t do the thing you want to do.
