Thank you for your post! I made the decision a long time ago to cut all toxic relationships from my life. I agree with the helpful suggestions above. I didn't want confrontations or discussions, I simply couldn't "find" any time to schedule a meet-up, no time for a call. I ghosted in a way, but didn't feel guilty about it because the persons in question didn't really care about me, only about themselves.
Eventually I blocked them from social media if applicable, or on my phone and simply moved on in peace.
However you choose to do it, I admire your decision to block toxicity from your life. I wish you the very best! (((HUGS))) |
Thank you so much. It's such a relief to read other's experience with this. I too dislike confrontation especially knowing that the person you're confronting won't change or let it go and nor would I expect them to change but they should realise that about me too. I like the quiet life and I'm not ashamed to admit it
Their need for drama is so far from my own that there is nothing in common personality-wise and that will never be resolved because we each are what we are. Sometimes it takes a while to recognise it or maybe you stew for a good time wondering what to do, but all the responses here are ringing so true to me and hopefully for others reading. If you know deep down that it isn't working then it isn't working. I see that now and I'm glad for it.
I'm so pleased you banished the negative people from your life too
It's early for me and I know there'll be some fallout but I'm prepared for it. It probably won't be as bad as I think (it usually isn't) but I'll be honest, just speaking here and seeing other's stories are making me more courageous to stick to my guns, so to speak. Thank you everyone
