In this world we are surrounded by all sorts of people, there are the sweet and kind hearted people who would do anything for anyone that they care about, and then there are those who have the darkest souls who make it their mission to ruin everyone's life, where they attempt to destroy a person's self worth, as well as character assassination. How does one protect themselves from this type of person? With boundaries.

Do not get in the person's face, nor attempt to pick a fight with them, this will unfortunately make things worse on both ends. Instead what you need to is take a stand, voice your concerns with the person and inform them that how they are mistreating you is inexcusable and will not be tolerated.

SEEK SUPPORT

Sometimes we need to seek support from those around us, and sometimes we could also use the support from a therapist who can help us when we need to find our voice and eventually learn how to build boundaries with those who are attempting to mistreat us.

LIMITS ARE EVERYTHING

Without diving too deep into this we can say that every single person on the face of the earth has their limits, the things that they will do and things they will not do. Understand what your limits are, and when someone attempts to push past those limits put down a brick wall that is stronger than the Wall of China, stopping them in their tracks.

WALK AWAY

Without a doubt it is best to walk away from toxic people, cut them off and never look back. Yes, it is easier said than done, but it can be done when it is done right. Block their numbers, delete them off of your social media and never talk to them again. Surrounding ourselves with narcissist's and other toxic people can take a toll on our mental health, and when we are able to walk away we can slowly regain our self worth, and be able to have a healthy relationship with ourselves and those around us.
