I decided many many years back that I was very tired of toxic people in my life-it didn’t much matter which toxic traits they had, I just became more and more aware that I was feeling bad. People in your life shouldn’t make you feel bad-they should lift you up, you should be able to count on them, trust them, respect them.
If you come to realize that someone(s) in your life consistently leave you feeling hurt, sad, angry, disrespected, wondering if they care about you & your feelings at all-it’s time to take care of yourself -you definitely don’t need it.
That’s what I did, I systematically stopped making excuses for people (that included friends and family) I saw them for who they were & how badly they made me feel & decided “NO MORE!!!”. Since then I have less people in my life but I am MUCH happier.
Sure, you miss them sometimes? But will you really miss how crappy they made you feel? If the answer is NO, cutting them from your life & keeping it that way is the right choice.
