A few weeks ago, I defended my boundaries with one of the toxic people, and lo and behold, no further attempt to cross them came along.

And just today, after talking to yet another of those people, it dawned on me – it’s never going to be good enough. Everything is always flawed and there’s ample reason to complain and nag with them.
It’s their problem, not mine, and there’s nothing I can do about that. I tried and it only got worse. Way worse.

So, that makes two things I’ve learned in the last month. Who knew? 5 days ago

I recently realized I’ve let toxic people in my life again.
People who make negative comments to each and every thing I do, talk bad about me and make me feel low and small.

Now on to make a plan how to distance myself and make my life better and make me feel better again.

I’ll read up on that first. 2 months ago
