Well I read about an interesting topic from Wikipedia.com, and wanted to know more about it, it was about “Toxicity”
Toxicity is used to describe toxic effects on larger and more complex groups, such as; the family unit or society at large.
Toxicity can be measured by its effects on the target (organism, organ, tissue or cell). Because individuals typically have different levels of response to the same dose of a toxin, a population-level measure of toxicity is often used which relates the probabilities of an outcome for a given individual in a population.
Ok, that might seem to be so scientific, but actually I didn’t think so, because I felt that Toxicity started to be a spreading virus, that affects many people nowadays. It’s everywhere; everyone is being affected with it, especially those who meet toxic people.
Well it might be the first time to hear about this, but actually I started really to believe in it so much. Toxic people; are those pessimistic ones who hate everything they have, unsatisfied from everything, complaining the whole time, spreading negative ideas, negative beliefs, negative energy to everyone around them that’s why they are really toxic.
“They are the ones who complain all the time. They are the ones who always blame you. They may always turn things around so things you felt they had done wrong are suddenly your fault. They overreact to bad events”
Life is full ups and downs, so you might feel one day that you are too down, frustrated, disappointed, and need some support, someone to cheer you up and stand by your side, so imagine of despite all those negative feelings you have, you sit with a very toxic friend who makes you feel worse more and more and instead of cheering you up , he/ she puts more loads on you and makes you feel more pessimistic, so this is a very practical example of spreading the virus of "Toxicity".
People got affected a lot by this virus; they became so aggressive, forgot the smiley faces, and became so frustrated and disappointed from everything. So if you have some dreams and ambitions you want to achieve in life so please keep away from those toxic people, but the reality is that you have to deal with them on daily basis.
Toxic people can be like; your boss at work, your spouse, any member of your family, your friends. So they are realistic people that you have to deal with in your daily life, in work, home, or even when you hang out … So “the way you see the problem is the problem” as Stephen covey said
I mean you can’t change others personality, but you can change your attitude towards dealing with them.
So here are some ways to deal with those toxic people:
• If a toxic friend called you and he/she said that he wanted to come over, pretend that you are sleeping, that you are tired, can’t get out of bed.
• Be sure that you can’t change someone’s personality, but you can change your attitude in dealing with them, so for example: if you have a toxic boss that belittles each thing you do, don’t take it personal, and try to get the best out of the situation, treat him/her by their own way but also do things your own way, how?!!! Like: if u knew that you did lots of effort in certain task delegated to you, and after this you found very bad feedback on your work, and severe criticism, be patient, and take it like ok, why not to develop from my task more and more in order to leave for anyone any chance to criticize me…
• Smile to the world and it will smile to you, maybe not right now, but soon it will.
• Don’t make anyone let you feel down, believe in yourself.
And above all, don't ever belittle yourself, and remember this quote"whenever there's a will, there's a way"
