Dealing with toxic people can be challenging because it often requires us to dehumanize them and label them as villains. It can be difficult to distance yourself from someone you care about or have a close relationship with. Most of us do not want to treat another human being with cruelty, even when they have treated us poorly. Instead of focusing on whether someone deserves the label toxic , try thinking in these terms:  “I just need better social prompts.” 🌱 Take Responsibility for the Environment That Shapes Your Development Growth is often less about changing yourself in isolatione and more about changing the developmental context you’re immersed in.
