DIY: Getting over toxic people

(do it yourself, because nobody will do it for you)

When a nice person becomes toxic is one of the hardest things in life to deal with. You want him/her/them back, but if you don't get over him/her/them now, you may/surely will regret it. So here's a little guide (based on my experiences) on how to recognize that it's over.

Step 1: PUT YOURSELF FIRST

Not every toxic person is toxic on purpose, but after all: it is toxic. Open your eyes: You're drowning in poison because of him/her/them (I needed to specify that)

“When you start seeing your worth, you’ll find it harder to stay around people who don’t.”

Worth by Emily S. P.

Step 2: KEEP THE SECRET

A person's toxicity come from us. The thing is: If a person is toxic for you, it doesn't mean that is toxic for everyone. So don't put posters all over your school exclaiming how toxic this person is, because what is poison for you, for others could be honey.

Step 3: TAKE YOUR TIME

Make a playlist. Re-read your favourite book. Do anything that keeps you concentrate in your own happiness for a while. Don't think to much about it and let things happen. You must feel better after a time;

if you do: Great job, you made it! Now that you're a professional, you won't lose your time in this kind of people.

if you don't: ask yourself is this person the real problem, or it is someone/something else?. Put the cards on the table, make a list of possibly-toxic persons and go back to step 1.
