Which brings up the fact that toxic people have no clue they're toxic. Not naming any names, but many posting on this thread are considered toxic to many others. They bait, demean, insult and lie all the whoe telling others how to behave.
You can remove yourself from a situation, but you cannot fix other people
Agreed, you cannot fix them because the only ones who can do that are the toxic people themselves. They have no incentive to fix themselves as long as their behavior is rewarded by your attention. Deny them that attention and refuse to give them any until they alter their behavior and then they will have an incentive to change themselves.
The problem is when the toxic people ....don't know they are toxic. Its of course...everyone else, just not them.
I find it rather funny to ignore them... they just spew more toxic. A win win as far as i am concerned
You bring up a good point, Syrenn. Most of the toxic people are not aware that they are toxic. They either lack empathy for others or they are simply not sufficiently self aware to appreciate how they come across. There is a inherent selfishness and childishness about them. As you observed when ignored they throw temper tantrums in order to gain attention. That is an immature response from a grown adult but inside them there is an undisciplined and selfish child in my opinion.
