SIX KINDS OF TOXIC PEOPLE

Life Coach Cheryl Robinson says there are six kinds of toxic people. There are the blamers who are always complaining about what is wrong in their life and blaming others.

Then there are the drainers. They’re like vampires who will come and suck everything out of you because they always want something from you: guidance, support, information, advice or help. There is no give and take and everything revolves around them.

Then there are the shamers. They cut you off, put you down, criticize you or make fun of you in front of other people. Kids are the worst at doing this.

Then there are the discounters. They discount or challenge everything you say. They have to be right and can find fault with any position.

There are gossips who thrive on talking about others behind their back, most times to avoid talking about themselves.

Then there are the demonizers – people who demonize those they disagree with. I don’t want to hear it. There is a lot of demonizing going on in the political climate in America.
