@misslasvegas the toxicity of people is something that I just can't tolerate. I can easily tell if I like being around someone or not. "The vibes," as they say are real. The negativity of some people is mentally draining. It can be hard when these people are family and loved ones.

I myself have had to battle this in my life as well. You love your family and only want the best for them, but being around them can be such a negative drain on you. I continue to show love and care towards them, but when the negativity forms I must leave.

What you describe is a good reason for "giving up" or something. Personally, I look at these types of experiences as learning opportunities. When I encounter them, I do all I can to try and help, and then at some point if it isn't working you just have to cut the cord.

Thank you for sharing...
