Sometimes I myself exhibit toxic behavior. I become aware of what is happening, then beat myself up, creating more pain & inner turmoil. It is a cycle I find hard to break. I also feel my lack of self confidence allows toxic people to drain my energy. Either I set rock hard boundaries, which cause separation, or I distance myself and suffer from lack of having any close relationships. I am 70 and find it is hard to rid myself of old long standing (toxic) relationships to make energy to cultivate new healthy ones, although I have tried over the past two decades! Letting go is hard to do!
This is incredible! Thank you for the words to describe things and to help empower us to live our best lives while being kind!
