Mountainstream, I suppose I can give some tips based on my own experience. I have found that standing up to a toxic person is important- at least for me it’s been. Then I sidestep them and ignore them after that. If it’s social media, I block them immediately and I don’t feed into the drama. When you feed into their toxic bs it’s exactly what they want- is to drag other people down. Toxic ppl typically are very negative and unhappy ppl. Therefore they want others to be just as miserable as they are. So I have found by not feeding into their drama, I win.

I guess my tip is to not feed into their negative drama. Don’t take the bait.
