Hi, thanks for the comment, I genuinelly think like yourself that its not good to be around toxic people. Only you can decide who you mix with which is a great thing as it means that if a person is making you feel bad you just walk away and put them aside. Not easy I know but we all have to make difficult choices sometimes in order to improve our lives. I hope you can free yourself from the people that are making you miserable and that you can begin to surround yourself with more positive ones in the future. Lisa x

It sounds like you really had your share of unpleasant, if not harmful connections with some people previously. I’m really sorry that you had to suffer others poor behaviors somehow. It’s so hard to be in a place of learning to trust someone with your entire being, only to realize that they intended to hurt you, to belittle you and make you feel like you’d be nothing. It feels like such a high level of disappointment and betrayal at once. It’s as if you were seeing someone the way they wanted you to see them, but at some point you got the opportunity to see behind the mask and realize that they were hiding very different intentions and behaviors. Then this vicious cycle gets turned against you: you are pushed to feel guilty for the way you’ve been treated, for not seeing the red flags or even for giving your trust in the first place.

I think it takes a lot of strength and self-awareness to come to the point of being aware of what doesn’t serve us in our life, and to separate ourselves from the bullshit we can’t take in anymore. By recognizing the behaviors of others that have been harmful to you, you are also leaning towards more love and care for yourself at the same time. You’re standing up for yourself, you recognize your value and you learn to be at peace with not welcoming into your life people who are not going to respect you anymore. You have worth and value in this world, and you never deserve to be treated poorly or as if you were inferior to someone. Your voice, your needs, your well-being - it all matters so very much, even if there would be some people who can’t seem to be able to accept that reality. Hurt people hurt people, as the saying goes.

I hope you are now in a place of peace and closure regarding the negative experiences you may have had in the past. Thankfully, there’s lots of people out there who know how to extend their empathy and to use it genuinely - not with any secret agenda that would help them feel valued, seen or under the spotlight somehow. Kindness and respect should come as given, not as a contract with plenty of conditions attached.

May your path keeps leading you towards brighter suns. Hold Fast.
