Here’s a list I compiled on toxic people’s traits that I am copying from a blog article I wrote on how to deal with toxic people:

-Toxic people are typically chronically negative people. They are often the naysayers in life, are chronic complainers or whiners, they play the victim constantly, everything is always everyone else’s fault, they are never to blame, and their lives are often full of highly dysfunctional/broken relationships and/or constant drama.
- They can be envious and jealous of other people. They don’t want to see others doing better in life or to feel better than them. They are commonly deeply and inwardly insecure about themselves, their own abilities and accomplishments and therefore, feel inferior other people.
- They typically are the takers in a relationship as opposed to the givers. A relationship with a toxic person is often one-sided and imbalanced, weighing in their direction. They typically talk mainly about themselves, rarely asking or truly caring about how you are or what is going on in your life.
- They frequently ignore, disrespect and disregard your feelings.
- They also can exhibit an inflated ego and will flaunt their accomplishments or show off.
