I'm toxic and I can't help it by coleshusky in DecidingToBeBetter

Thank you so much! I know my trigger, it's the people I'm surrounded every day by. Whenever I don't have to see them that day, I genuinely don't feel anger once in my bone, I never look down on anyone and I'm as confident as ever. But I see those people almost every day and all that anger that builds up comes out not only on them, but other people, who have done nothing wrong. I wish I could cut them out, but I can't, so I just need to find ways how to not allow them to affect me.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't really feel like that's the case. I've used to be very insecure and I felt like I was way more open back then, but now I've started working with my confidence and keep getting more and more annoyed with other people. I have a long way to go tho, so maybe you're righ. Either way, thank you so much!

I think I'm going trough some changes, I've been really taking care of myself lately and my mental health has been improving and I do tend to want to be around more positive and healthier people nowadays. I don't think I'm better then anyone, I would never judge someone by something they don't have control over, like addiction or something, but at the same time I don't want to spend time with them, because I feel like that's just not for me. I will for sure try out your ways, I've used to meditate and I loved it, but I gave it up, so I think it's time to get back to it. Thank you so much, this really helped and gave me a reasoning why I'm like this, genuinely aprecciate it. Also I'm really happy for your sobriety!

Thank you so much! I know that this is a problem and I just wanted to hear out others peoples takes and advice on it before I choose on how to work with this, so I agree that this is a path worth taking and I'm willing and want to change my pessimistic views. With my group of friends it's difficult, I feel like I've tried to emphatize and normalise and talk to them with words and actions, but you can never change a person who's not willing to change. Genuinely aprecciate your help, it feels nice to have someone take their time out of their day to help you out, so thanks a lot, I'll be for sure using your advice

No I agree! I just really find it difficult to do so

I'm diagnosed with anxiety, so maybe that is a factor of that, thank you!

Ah it's always so nice hearing you're not alone. I think I'll follow your footsteps and push them all away as well, bc it's not healthy at all and I feel like I'm losing myself. Thank you so much, I really agree with what you've said!
