We spend so much time talking about how toxic people can make your life miserable and how you should push them away and focus on the bright side of life. But what if YOU are the toxic person yourself ?
Yes, it is very easy to observe a person, evaluate them in your mind and label them as 'toxic'. But when was the last time you've evaluated yourself properly ?
Here, the keyword is 'properly'. Some people are so concerned about what they are saying and doing that they become paranoid, leading to social anxiety. Other people are so indifferent towards the opinion of others that they they tell themselves, "I'll never change, so what ?"
Do yourself a favor. If anyone ever calls you a toxic person, please take some time to think about why the other person is saying that. People make mistakes, and that is perfectly fine. A mistake does not become an error until you refuse to rectify it. No one is asking you to change overnight. When you wake up tomorrow, just try to be a slightly better person than you are today. Ask for forgiveness from those you think you may have hurt and convince them that you're trying to be a better human being.
Before raising a finger on someone else, raise it on your own conscience. We know you may have heard this statement a hundred times, but we believe you need to read it everyday. After all-
"They say motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily."
