There are toxic people and then there are those who are alright but not perfect. After all no one's perfect, right? But in that case, where do you draw the line between not perfect and toxic?
Right now for me I just have one friend. We have a pretty good relationship but we argue a lot. He gets very critical with me and I find it annoying more than helpful And then I have my sister, and she's all that I have in my family. My family was toxic and her included.

The line is drawn between not perfect and toxic when the toxic person effects one's mental health negatively. If one feels constantly drained, upset, low or very negative after being with a person, then you know that they are toxic to your mental health. That's how you know the difference.
And when someone who is constantly critical of you? Yes, that can be toxic as well. I would suggest expanding your social circle and meeting new people. Life does not have to be this way.
