The Toxic Seven

During the roller coaster ride that our life is, we tend to meet people who bring every shade of color into our life. Some bring the brightest of colors to drag us into the zone of immense happiness, while others bring the darkest of colors to make us experience the worst times of our lives. One can learn to live happily only when they get to know about the true colors of the people existing around them. If you want to bring a positive change in your life and create a positive ambiance all around everywhere you go, then you need to sort out the kinds of people you spend your time with. It is no surprise at all that double-faced people still exist and will try to destroy your life as much as they can while putting that fake little smiles on their faces. Time to tell them BYE! How many types of these people exist? I will let you know through this article. 1. Those for whom everything is black and shady: Yes, I am talking about those who have more of a pessimistic mindset. They would never miss a single chance to fill your life with such utter negativity that you cannot even imagine it. For them, every single thing is next to impossible and can't be worked out anyway.

Believe it or not, being with these people can make you very negative and a naysayer! When ever you get a chance, tell them politely that you are going to do it the other way round.

2. Those who "Gossip" about people:

Trust me; these kinds of people never spare anyone in their lives. If today they are bashing somebody for simply no reason, then tomorrow you may be bashed by them. Research says that these kinds of people aren't satisfied with all they have and usually try to fill the deep void in their lives by gossiping. Now, do you want to be a part of that shallow void? If no, then be separated from these people.

3. Those who try to play their victim card:

As hard as it may sound, you need to get off your butt and stay away from their problems. I don't mean that you should be rude and not help anybody who is in need, but you need to understand that helping is fine until it start sucking into a zone called depression. Those types of people are most depressed of their lives and have absolutely nothing to talk about expect how miserable life is. It will be a matter of time until you will find yourself getting sucked in and convinced by their thoughts.

4. The Moneylenders:

In spite of having a bank account with sufficient money in it, these people choose to live their lives on other's money. I just have one suggestion for you and that is learning to say no. Come on, you need to realize that they are sucking your hard earned money from you even when they have their own to spend. Trust me; there is nothing wrong in saying the things that you believe are right.

5. The Arrogant Souls:

It is fine to be on Cloud 9 and celebrate your success, be letting it be in your head all the time is something to be careful of. Some people are so arrogant and egoistical that they never miss a chance to belittle others for no reason. Apparently, they feel good about themselves by doing so! Sad little reality it is, right? I would suggest you keep a distance from such harsh people and let them live in their own little bubble.

6. The Bullies:

They really do walk freely among us and pick on people who are innocent. Seems like they find themselves in power to humiliate and even hurt those who have done absolutely nothing against them. Yes, you need to stay away from these people. Bullying is an unlawful practice and you can suffer a lot even by encouraging the act! As soon as you see someone bullying others, report the matter to the concerned authority and stop it for once and for all.

7. The Quarrelsome:

In bold words, these people are dear to no one. They can threaten you, hurt you or even abuse you just for their down mood swings. No one should want to be with such a person who would die to put the last word into an argument even if it doesn't make any sense at all.

In the end, I would like to conclude by saying that life offers you all kinds of people, both friendly and toxic. You need to be wise and calculative about keeping them in your lives or not!

Be The Best Person You Can Be! All the Best!
