Why Is It So Difficult To Get Rid Of Toxic People?

People who tend to have overgiving and overfunctioning traits can be easily susceptible to toxic dynamics and relationships with other people. These overgivers are not able to clearly set their own boundaries and often aren’t always aware when they’re own boundary has been crossed.    Even though we might be aware that this person is toxic to us, it can still be incredibly hard to let them go. They are often takers, which makes it easy for us to feel ‘useful’ when we are overgiving to them. However, as many of us have experienced, these people will not stop taking our energy, do very little in giving back, and the toxic person drags our mental wellbeing down.    It also might be incredibly hard to let go because our emotions are still tied into this person. We might love them, we might have extensive family history with them, we might think we can save or fix them, or we might feel bad for giving up on a ‘lost cause’. In a lot of these toxic relationships, a trauma bond has been formed and there are layers that need to be pulled before we can fully separate ourselves from that toxic person and live our best life.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
