Toxic people, forum comment

No One is toxic. I try to refrain from using words that have a certain meaning that when you think about it, too strong and not accurate by their definition and do not apply to certain situations.
To suggest someone is toxic is to say they have toxins in them, which can be behavioral traits, that can affect others by influence inflicting them with that toxicity, when the more accurate way to look at it is to explain what we're talking about in here and find better words to describe this whole topic.
In our journey to discover self and be the best we can we meet people that are on our path of exploration. Family, friends and people we know in different levels of relationships. We influence others and we let ourselves be influenced. In the life we choose we to live we focus on what helps us grow, and we take responsibility to how we run our life. How we react to what happens to us, and we let people treat us as well. If we have self confidence, if we know ourselves good enough, that strength will allow us to observe
and decide what to think and do. People connect to us in different ways from what and how they are, their needs, their mindset, their emotional world and moral world. We in return try to understand and figure out what we do with what is presented to us, if we care enough we will get involved, even if it's not good/positive behavior. People can be confused, not realizing self, not trusting, hurt, not knowing where you are in your life journey, playing games on you to see how you react, and not being completely honest with themselves. And you gotta look at it and decide what to do. Especially when it comes to family. The choice is there, to let them know how their behavior affects you, and wonder why they do what they do. If you care, you will invest time and effort in trying to fix what you think can be fixed. Otherwise, if you feel it doesn't help them or you, focus on what makes you happy and help you grow. This whole planet is a huge family of human beings in different levels of relationships/connections. We need to realize ourselves and first, then we can thrive to influence others with our wisdom, and those who are not there yet, they are not toxic, they have issues they need to solve with themselves, it is their journey to explore, you just walk on a different path.
