EP 41 - 12 Toxic People to Look Out For

For many of us, Christmas is going to be a smaller affair this year. This might come as a relief for many of you … perhaps you now have the excuse to avoid certain toxic people in your circle.   But for others, this might pose a problem … because you are now going to be in closer proximity with someone you’ve done your level best in avoiding.   In this episode, I identify the 12 Toxic Characters and their behaviors that might cause you problems. Better still I am offering suggestions on how to deal with these people and how to diffuse certain situations.   Toxic individuals can bring out the worst in us - but also they can have an adverse effect on our wellbeing and mental health - and that’s not OK.   12 Toxic Characters : 1. The Drama Queen 2. The Doom & Gloom Monger 3. The Time Lord 4. Mr / Mrs (Always) Right 5. The Worry Wort 6. The Victim 7. The Drainer & Complainer 8. The Naysayer & Hater 9. The Petulant Child 10. The Gossip Monger 11. The Social Leap-Frogger 12.
