3. Steps to stay away from toxic people


When a relationship with that person is dragging you down, you should steer clear of the toxic person by:
Confront them: Your friend may not realize that they are toxic. But if you think so, explain to them how you feel. Communication helps to resolve conflicts in relationships. So find ways to talk to your friends about what they're doing - or not doing - that makes you insecure about the relationship. Stay away: Give yourself time to see how your life changes without the toxic friend around. This is the first step to being able to deal with the breakup, especially if you've tried talking about it before but to no avail. Accept how you feel: Avoiding someone you care about is not easy. It will make you feel very horrible, but it is your peace of mind. Accept any feelings of sadness and loss that come with it. Allow yourself to experience these emotions so you can move on. Take Time: Despite the loneliness, let time pass as you heal and return to your normal self.

4. Heal After Breaking Up With A Toxic Friend


Consider these 3 tips for healing after a breakup:
Seek support: Whether it's from other friends or your family, comfort is always welcome after a breakup hands with a friend. Finding the End: Try writing a letter to the toxic person you just broke up with — but don't send it to them. Instead, seal it in an envelope and shred it. This may sound weird, but it can help you get rid of any bad feelings in a way that doesn't involve contact with the person. Moving on: If you're wondering if you can manage it, give yourself some more time. It can take up to a year or more to completely let go of a toxic friendship or toxic relationship, but in the end, it happens. If you think you need professional help dealing with a toxic person or breaking up with a friend, don't be afraid to talk to a therapist. There's a chance that breakup could have negative consequences, so a professional can help you understand that better.
Not only is being in a toxic relationship incredibly difficult, but you can also feel trapped in it. However, you deserve to be happy and get rid of the harm and negativity it causes you. Leaving an unhealthy and toxic relationship is an incredibly difficult and courageous step to take, but it can be done.
