At times like these, after yet another relationship breakup and the other person at last happy to be rid of me, I honestly wish I had. Bottom line. I am told that when I was born I almost died.

I noticed for example that I may be less peaceful when driving home after a very frustrating stupid workday ...being aware of it is half of the solution. Look for the root cause...

My boyfriend is in the process of having a nervous breakdown, and I feel it's entirely my fault. I recognise so many of the toxic person traits in myself and the pattern of my past relationships, all of which have ended badly and suddenly. Thank you for the tips on how to avoid being toxic. There is so much out there (even in the comments above) about getting away from toxic people, but so little on how toxic people can try to help themselves. None of us want to be like this and the condition is painful both for those close to the person, and the toxic individual. I am currently learning, painfully, that I am toxic.

You talk about avoiding the toxic person - it's tough when you are the toxic person. How do you stop that? I don't think any of you understand at all.

The toxic people you meet generally have unresolved anger from their past that they can't let go of; and they will take out their frustrations on anyone who gets in their way. Also on a neurological level, if stress chemicals remain in the brain for prolonged periods they create a toxic bath that destroys brain cells and memory. Thanks for the article.
