Apr 12, 2021 Toxic people can be tough to spot because they have mastered the art of manipulation. They can put on a good show, but behind the scenes can be a total energy draining nightmare! While there are toxic people we can spot outside our own little worlds, the most toxic could be the ones closest to us. Here are 5 indicators of a toxic person that you can use to identify if someone is toxic in under 5 minutes. Indicator # 1 – Toxic people reveal themselves in a simple way every time; they always speak and boast about themselves. They can’t bear to hear about someone else for too long. You will realize after a few minutes, the convo will turn into something about them and they have not listened to anything else. They’re always better than you or that person over there. They display this in a very subtle way, but when you pay attention, you will see the competition you never asked to be apart of. Everything you have, they have something better. Everything you have experienced, they have experienced it 10x worse. They always have the upper hand, whether in self-pity or pride, they must always be number one. They brag without success. Everything in their life is so much more impressive than yours and they are sure to tell you! Whenever something good happens to them, they are sure to repeat it as much as possible to anyone they see. While it’s good to share your accomplishments with other people, no need to constantly remind others over and over and over again.
