Some people are meant to be in your life for a lifetime and some for just a season. Be able to tell the difference. Here are a few different types of toxic people that need to be shown the door asap.

1. The critics

Such people generally use sarcasm and severe remarks together with seemingly ordinary compliments. You'll have to cut them down to size to answer them in the language they're used to. When feeling your strength, they will know that you're no longer going to take their irrelevant remarks and they will soon leave you alone.

2. The victim

You haven't seen each other in ages, or maybe you don't even know them really well, so details about their life are nonexistent. This person, if they are indeed a long lost friend, never has had time to hang out if you've ever suggested getting together. But then, suddenly, there they are, in a situation that leaves them with either no money or no one to run to at the time, or maybe both.

Maybe their "first round draft pick" friends were currently unavailable, so they reach out to you for whatever it is they are needing at the time. These people should be rejected without any regrets. Do not feel sorry for them They're only using you.

3. The two-faced friends

They are always sweet to your face, but be cautious when you turn your back on them. People will not hear anything true about you from such "friends;" they will always exaggerate and lie. These people just want to be popular and want to try to impress everyone around them. It's not possible to trust them because they are going to betray you at any given second if they can profit from it.

4. The selfish ones

Selfish people feed off of your love and affection. They keep you close, promising everything, yet giving you nothing return. You'll find yourself always doing what they want, and giving your free time to them with no time or even effort reciprocated. You should kick these people to the curb, and fast because they are going to suck the life out of you. They love only themselves, not you.

5. The past friend

These friends left your life a long time ago. They were a part of your former lifestyle. So when meeting again, you don't even know what to say or what to talk about. But still, you let them in because maybe a part of you misses your past.

When any relationship is over, let it go, don't dwell on it. Understand that some people may have been a part of your history but that doesn't mean they're going to be a part of your destiny. Don't surround yourself with the shadows of your past.

6. The babblers

These people are the ones who tend to say all the things you want to hear, however never follow through with it. They just fill you with false promises like, "We will definitely do that," or, "I promise we will go there." Don't trust whatever these people say, trust what they do, or in this case, don't do.

7. The negative Nancy

They are a walking compliant. Everything in their lives is always going to be much worse than anyone else's.They always have to "one-up" you with their terrible lives and/or their terrible attitudes. Everything you feel with them is total emotional fatigue. The right relationships are supposed to bring joy and happiness. Erase anyone who all they can bring to the table is negativity.

8. The cheater

This type of person sees no harm in cheating on you or others. Quite frankly, they feel as if they have a right to do whatever they please, which means that your pain and feelings mean nothing to them.

Even if they apologize, it doesn't mean they regret it, because they typically don't. There's something wrong with one's character if opportunity controls your loyalty. Something I have learned about people is if they do something once, they'll more than likely do it again. You don't need a liar or a cheater in your life.

The biggest mistake I have made in my life is letting people stay in my life far longer than they deserve. If you've let any of these toxic people in your life, it's time you let them go. You deserve better than wasting your time on people who are disabling growth in your life.
