I’m kind of an expert, from lived experience, on figuring out what drives a toxic person, why they behave in the manner that they do and how to keep a step ahead of their destructive nature.
Most toxic people suffer from a deep fear of rejection. Oftentimes dealing with them entails letting them believe they have the upper hand over you or giving them enough space to show their true colors to the world and let nature take its course.
Unfortunately, I developed this skill set the hard way but nothing can compare to real lessons, right?
What are you an expert on? Is it because of training, lived experience, or both?

I’m a bit of an expert on bernoulli’s theorem. I’ve relied upon it for a while, anyway. But it’s a rather dull thing to talk about much.

You just made me Google what that is…and I still don’t understand what it means. Too smart for me. 🙂

You must give me tips! One of my pet peeves is rudeness and no one is ruder than the toxic crowd.
Give me strength! 😀

Tips? Maybe. It’s amazing how well silence and a direct blank stare works in cases of rudeness. 🙂

The kids used to tell me to stop “mean mugging” people. I laughed when I found out what it meant!

Am I a toxic person? I’ve always worried that I am but I can’t really judge that about myself.

I always wonder because I think if I wasn’t me, I wouldn’t want to be friends with me.
