6 Toxic Behaviors That Push People Away
How To Recognize Them In Yourself and Change Them
By Kathy Caprino
Let’s be real - we’ve all acted in toxic, damaging ways at one time
or another (none of us are immune to it), but many people are
more evolved, balanced, and aware, and it happens only rarely in
their lives.
Whether your toxic behavior is a common occurrence, or once in
a blue moon, it’s critical for your happiness and success that you
are able to recognize when you’re behaving badly, and shift it
when it emerges.
The 6 most toxic behaviors 

I see every day are:
1. Taking everything personally



People are toxic to be around when they believe that everything that happens
in life is a direct assault on them or is in some way all about them. The reality
is that what people say and do to you is much more about them, than you.
2. Obsessing about negative thoughts


It’s very hard to be around people who can’t or won’t let go of negativity –
when they dwell on and speak incessantly about the terrible things that
could happen and have happened, the slights they’ve suffered, and the
unfairness of life. These people stubbornly refuse to see the positive side
of life and the positive lessons from what’s transpiring.
3. Treating yourself like a victim
Believing you’re a victim, that you have no power to exert and no influence
on the direction of your life, is a toxic stance that keeps you stuck and small.
4. Cruelty - lacking in empathy or putting yourself in others shoes


One of the most toxic and damaging behaviors – cruelty –stems from a total lack
of empathy, concern or compassion for others. We see it every day online and in
the media – people being devastatingly cruel and destructive to others just
because they can. They tear people down online but in a cowardly way, using
their anonymity as a weapon. Cruelty, backstabbing, and ripping someone to
shreds is toxic, and it hurts you as well as your target. 





An inability to manage your emotions is toxic to everyone around you. We
all know these people – men and women who explode over the smallest
hiccup or problem. If you’re overly reactive, losing it at every turn, you
need some outside assistance to help you gain control over your emotions
and understand what’s at the root of your emotionality.
5. Excessive reactivity

6. Needing Constant Validation



Finally, people who constantly strive for validation
and self-esteem by obsessing about achieving
outward measures of success, are exhausting to be
around. Those men and women who get caught up in
the need to prove their worth over and over, and
constantly want to “win” over their colleagues or
peers, are toxic and draining.



How to Shift Away from Toxicity?
Become more aware of your own behavior and emotions, and that of
those around you, and make a conscious choice to stop toxicity from
ruining your life. Then do something about it.
Greater awareness equals greater choice.
