Dealing with toxic friendships

 

                a challenge that I have recently had to deal with is dealing with toxic friendships, this is challenging for me because some of these friends could appear that they are decent people at first glance or maybe I knew them for a while and they became toxic over time. The way I have dealt with this challenge is to first identify their character by their words and actions as I have stated in my previous post titled Identifying Character In A Person. Some of traits that I have noticed in a toxic person is that they could act flakey, they are always in a negative mood, they could act as if I am are their therapist, they could shift the blame around, or they could try to drag me into their problems and put me at risk. If a person displays most of those traits I distance myself from that individual, then I take the time to focus on what's important to me. I do this so that I can focus on me and identify the things that may have allowed me to become part of that relationship then I could figure out that kind of behavior sooner so it doesn't become a pattern in my life.

the importance of being straightforward when speaking

                        In a previous post of mine I spoke about the importance of concise speech in this post I will explain why I value being straight forward when I speak. The main reason why I find straight forward communication important is because I take things very literally especially when it comes down to the very small details of how a person communicates with me. The next reason why I value straight forward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with recognizing an individuals tone of voice which makes challenging for me to understand what message a person is trying to convey to me and same is said about social cues or body language. In conclusion the reason why I value straightforward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with understanding what an individual is trying to discuss with me, the fact that i have a difficult time with recognizing social cues.

How I See People

                In my previous post I briefly discussed people and their part in how I see the world in this post I will describe how do I see people and why do I see them this way. The way that I see people is like I said before in my previous post titled "How I See The World" is that they are unpredictable and they could say or do any number of things whether it would be good or bad. Now normally in most circumstances I see people just as well people no color, no religion and not any different about them from me, and the reason why is due to the fact that people could have many differences on the outside but I still see them as a person regardless of their beliefs and their looks. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said "I live to see a day where we are not judged by our color or creed but by our character" that phrase is what I live by and what I use to help me see people as such. Therefore the way that I see people is as individuals that are ...
