How To Handle Toxic And Critical People

[@masterpeacetherapy221]

This just happened! A dart was shot (again) in a very one sided toxic relationship and I saw “I don’t need to be this persons friend!” I cut off contact. I simply don’t need it! I forgive and I move on.

Thank you Leslie, I've been in defense mode for 16 years, it's painful and exhausting. Finally putting my foot down bc I've become too physically and emotionally ill.

Dealing with toxic people only helps when you are toxic. Love your enemies from a distance. Pray for discernment.

You never move forward with a mean person. You move away. Be good, do good

Thank you ! You've helped a lot ☺️!

Great suggestions. Do they work with someone who refuses to stop abusive behavior? How long is one expected to “practice” being a better person while under attack? Some toxic people are simply brutal and punitive no matter what tactic of self control one uses. In fact if the expected response changes, the toxic person becomes even more abusive. I don’t think anyone should have to live with that for 5 minutes. I can’t imagine that a loving Heavenly Father does either. I would love your feedback on this.

It's been a month since you asked that question,so if you allow me,I may be able to give you the answer,me being a practicing Christian. If this is happening to you at work by your boss ie.then the only thing is to change the job.If it is a family member,husband perhaps who is an alcoholic or drug user,separation is the answer and even a divorce.Authorities can help you but you must remove yourself from that person and that space where attacks are frequent.He or she will not stop doing what they are doing. Forgiveness always depends on a person's admitting the wrong and asking to be forgiven.If that is not the case then you don't have to worry, because it is not up to you any more.You are not the guilty party.

[@mimiholand1063]

We have all been in such situations. A close family member has suddenly attacked us verbally, out of a blue.The person might have said something really bad that felt like a knife to the heart. At that moment you are being viciously attacked and all you want is to strike back. The hardest thing to do is not to say anything.., walk away if possible. Pray to God to send his spirit to you and to calm that person. But "Not all attacks" are from the person, some are from the devil who could be in the room creating a situation. I remember once I couldn't stop shaking my fry pan until all the food fell on the floor.That caused a very big argument which took days to settle......the devil got to me:))I remember at that time I was interested in Spirit, Mind, Body thing..the devil came to my house with those interests. Eventually I disposed of all items to do with what seemed harmless but was not. If we hate what God hates then He will assist us and protect us in our hour of need.Say no to Satan and his tricks and the peace of God will be with you.

Is there a chance that you’re in toxic relationship/ maybe being toxic too and your subconscious is trying to tell you that you’re not ok?

[@mimiholand1063]

@@mjv4960 Not a chance. The person mentioned is a very peaceful and non argumentative by nature and so am I. The Devil is not us. The Devil is the wicked entity who is watching humans and pushing their buttons. Humans are not toxic. It's a wrong word to use for people.

church member I barely know said "I'm jealous"....while in the presence of my "friends" at church......now I'm infected....not sure how to handle it, just mad....I know I'm jealous.....besides , how does that help my situation of divorce after 4 decades?

[@LALady1]

What if it’s the boss? Wonder if you have abuse on the job and can’t seem to be released? I keep getting that scripture slaves submit to masters even harsh and cruel?

[@einareinarsson8662]

Its ok for some people to become toxic a while but not to remain so if they dont want a miserable life.

[@mshomefire]

Maybe I need to get away from these people

[@vivdoolan6846]

God in every sentence...... doesn't work for me.

[@mimiholand1063]

God doesn't work for selfish and proud people only. He is opposite to human flaws which btw came with imperfection and the Devil.
