5 cosas que la gente tóxica hace para destruirte

Todos tenemos a alguien en nuestras vidas por quien nos doblamos como un alambre... en un intento de complacerles. These are the people that are sucking the life out of us—toxic people.

Every time a problem occurs, you end up questioning yourself—is it something you did wrong? You end up thinking it was your fault for the disagreement you had.

But, it’s their fault. The only thing that makes the difference is that they have the power to make you believe you’re the one to blame.

If you’ve had enough of their negative energies and their bad attitudes, you have to cut them off from your life—tear them off like bandages, fast. That’s the only way to get rid of those negative people.

You mustn’t support their toxic behavior because they will capture you in their vicious never-ending circle of toxicity.

Hay muchas cosas que hacen las personas tóxicas para manipular a los demás y manejar las situaciones en su beneficio. He aquí algunas de ellas:

1. Son manipuladores

Tienes la sensación de que eres el único que está progresando en el desarrollo de su relación—and you are right!

These people have the power to make you think you are the one to blame for all the bad that is happening to you, even though they are the main initiators for planting the ‘seed of evil’ in your relationship.

They will trick you into doing something you don’t want to or something that will hurt you and in the end, they will convince you it was for your own good.

They will convince you their plan was brilliant and it was your fault that you failed. Due to the fact you failed you are hurting—you are the one to blame.

2. They don’t listen

Did you ever have the feeling you’re talking but your words don’t seem to be getting through to the person you’re talking to? Well if you did, you were probably talking to a toxic person.

They have absolutely no interest in what you’ve got to say.

Sólo les interesa lo que tienen que decir y las cosas que les conciernen.

No matter how urgent or important the thing you have to say is, they won’t be interested.

Even if you’ve got their attention for a while and it looks like they are listening to you, they will interrupt you while you’re talking and start talking about something that is important to them.

3. Proyectan sus sentimientos en ti

Tienes la sensación constante de que algo va mal y de que tú eres la razón principal de ello.

That person who is next to you is angry all the time, but he or she acts as if everything is ok and he or she forces you to believe you’re the angry one.

They are making you believe it’s your problem. It’s hard to get out from these situations because they have so much ability to make you believe what they want you to believe.

This is similar to manipulating but actually it’s projecting their emotions on to you and making you believe you’re the core of the problem—you end up being in the emotional state they are actually in.

4. They have no respect for you and they think they’re better than you

They discard everything you’ve got to say and they don’t care for what you want and what you do. They have double standards when it comes to your dreams and aspirations.

Además, tienen un doble rasero en general. Para ellos está bien hacer algo, pero si tú haces lo mismo, se produce un problema.

En general, se creen mejores que tú. They have the ability to make you feel worthless—like shit.

Seguirán diciendo cosas que te hacen sentir pequeño e insignificante, sólo para ponerse por encima de ti.

5. Te están hundiendo

 

Lo que pasa con las personas tóxicas es que te hunden.

They don’t bring out the best in you—your potential is decaying because there is no one there to encourage you to do what you want. You have no support whatsoever.

Siempre encontrarán la forma de hundirte, así que te callas para no darles la oportunidad de hacerlo. ¿Hay una forma más astuta de controlar a alguien que esa?

Getting rid of the toxic people in your life will only make your life more beautiful, so don’t be afraid to do that step and exclude them from your life.
