Unfortunately, we are all going to come across, if we haven’t already, at some stage in our lives a person or people who will constantly belittle and demean you, they will criticize everything thing that you do and they will insult you and judge you, a lot of the times they do it in very subtle ways as well and sometimes they just don’t care that they hurt you. They will make you question every decision you make, then make you feel worthless in only ways that they can. These people are the most negative and toxic people alive. The interesting thing about them is that when you try and stand up for yourself, to counteract their abusive behavior, they then tell others that you are ‘controlling’ or ‘toxic’, you know why they say this? Because they can’t stand it when they no longer have power over you, when they realise that you won’t let them treat you like dirt, that you are no longer under their ‘spell’. You see, they can’t admit their own revolting behavior, so they will do everything in their power to make you think and to make it look like it’s all your fault.
Just remember that it isn’t. It’s not your fault to have an opinion, it’s not your fault that you don’t want to do what they may want to do. It’s not your fault to put yourself first once in a while. It’s not your fault. Just remember that and be proud of yourself as you walk away …. And don’t look back.
