Inspirational Quotes – Toxic People Quotes

Today, I’m sharing empowerment tips on toxic people quotes. Relationships and friends can be toxic at times, and we must determine when to remove ourselves from the relationship. Some relationships evolve over time, and some relationships take a wrong turn and become toxic.

It’s natural for people to change in some area of their life over time. But, when they become negative, hurtful, unsupportive and just outright unhealthy, it’s time to go. Get inspired, motivated and energized from my toxic people quotes; they’re liberating.

Toxic People Quotes:

First, I love this quote. It’s funny and inspirational. I know when I have removed myself from toxin people, it left me feeling like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. It was truly freeing!

So, we all go through difficult things in our life. However, some people are lost. Sadly, they are full of pain, regret, their mind is in a fog and they hurt anyone who comes into their path. I’m going to keep it simple, get out of their way and stay out of their way.

Next, you are in control of what and who you allow in your head. Control what you consume. If it’s not healthy, don’t allow it in. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best relationship with my mother until later in my life. She would literally exhaust me to a point where I had to stay away from her. That’s how I handled my relationship with her for years. When she started spewing unhealthy words, thoughts and deeds, I ran for cover. Learn when to remove yourself from toxic people and situations. If you’re gut is talking to you, listen.

Next, choose people who will inspire and motivate you. Life is short, choose people who are inspirational. Having people who care about who you are and your well being is imperative. Becoming exhausted by toxic people is simply not healthy.

There is a saying that people come into your life for a reason or a season. As a result, they are there so that we can learn something. Or, they could be in life as a forever friend, lover, husband etc. If someone decides to leave, let them go. Assess your lesson and move on.

Sadly, I’ve had to end friendships that I thought would last forever. There came a point in my life where I had to step back and take a look at what was happening. Did they really say what I thought? I painfully concluded that I was not imagining things. I ended the friendship. At this stage of my life, I have little time for one-sided friendships or relationships.

Finally, I hope that you have a few of my toxic people quotes inspiring. Most of all, I hope that you will take the necessary step to remove those toxic people from your life. I guarantee, it will be a freeing experience. You may also like What Toxic People Have in Common.

Dealing With Toxic People In Your Life

November 8, 2014 by Rhonda Gales

Today, I’m sharing empowerment tips on dealing with toxic people. For the past few months, I’ve felt a little down. I’ve felt heavy, fatigued and at times ready to just throw my hands up in dismay. Why, a toxic relationship. I have learned over the course of the years to pay attention to my body and how I’m feeling. Once I get in touch with how I’m feeling, I step away and assess why.

I ask myself, what’s new in my life? How do I feel after an encounter with a family member or friend? Is there something going on at work that’s bothering me? I ask these questions so I can pinpoint what’s happening. At times I feel this way because of a stressful situation at work, but the majority of time it’s a toxic person who’s spawning poison my way. Toxic people will affect your health and pull you down.

Over the years, I have learned that I stayed in relationships or friendships way too long. I never liked giving up on people or things without giving 100% of myself. But, I’ve learned that the other party must be willing to give 100% of themselves too. If not the relationship is one sided and I must walk away. Walking away has gotten easier for me. I realized that no relationship is worth suffering over or not getting my needs meet.

I come from a toxic family. My mother is as toxic as you can get. So, I am quite familiar with toxic people. Toxic people usually come from a dysfunctional background. They’re usually harboring deep envy, anger or jealousy. If they don’t get their emotions in check, they manifest in a harmful way.

Dealing with toxic people

Dishonesty – Dishonest people are people who hid the truth or don’t tell the truth. In my opinion, one is as bad as the other. When you’re not honest about who you are, what you’re doing or what’s happening in your life you’re depriving the other people of the ability to make judgments that are beneficial to them.
Ignoring You – When a person doesn’t return your calls, respond to your text messages or make time for you it can affect your self-esteem. My motto is if I’m not a priority, you wont’ be one either. Nobody is so busy that they can’t find the time to respond in some way.
Blaming Other People -Toxic people always blame others for their issues and problem. They create drama, but try to turn things around and they become the victim. They project themselves on you. What is true about them, they say about you.
Sabotage – They underhandedly and sometimes overtly try to sabotage your happiness and goals. Deep down they really don’t want you to be happy or succeed. And, they always find something wrong with what you’re trying to achieve.
Toxic People Will Pull You Down – They can and will eventually affect your health and your emotional well being. Their behavior causes drama and/or conflict and whatever the situation is the outcome will be negative.

Finally, I learned to run in the opposite direction from toxic people or limit their presence in my life. I see absolutely no benefit to having them around. They’re like quick sand, they will pull you down little by little and eventually you find yourself up to your neck in crap. Who needs it. Learn to recognize and deal with toxic people before they grab hold of you and pull you down.
