A toxic personality can be devastating to all parties within their range. For whatever reason a personality should become toxic, it feeds upon the willingness of others to engage. The misery that is caused in the receiving party fuels a toxic personality and facilitates its continuous presence.
In every one of my personal encounters with a toxic personality, once I came to this specific realization, and I was able to eliminate any signs of a reaction, I discovered that the toxicity decreases after several attempts at trying to feed on a reaction it was no longer getting.
This would seem readily apparent, but I have seen many people who are oblivious to this while it is transpiring. Just a small tip from the road?
Happy Monday!
