It's unlikely that anyone would willingly want to spend time or build relationships with toxic people, but we don't recognize them right away.

Sometimes we already have time to become attached to new acquaintances, so it will be difficult to end the relationship at this stage.

Therefore, it is better to know in advance what signs indicate the toxicity of our interlocutors.

What is important to pay attention to

You're just uncomfortable

As a rule, personal feelings never let us down. If you don’t understand why you feel uncomfortable communicating, then you should listen to yourself.

In most cases, you have a subconscious feeling that the person is not worth wasting your time on. So trust your personal feelings.

In the shadow of glory

Toxic people always try to be the center of attention, forgetting that there are living people next to them with their own desires and needs, experts say.

A toxic person always steals attention because he likes to feel important, wanted, interesting and popular.

Unpleasant words addressed to acquaintances

If every time you get together to discuss friends, acquaintances or colleagues in a negative way, then this is clearly a negative sign.

It is worth understanding that your interlocutor is discussing you in exactly the same way.

Aggression

Toxic people can often be quite aggressive. Some of them can actually cross the line and use physical force, while others simply "hit" with words.

In any case, it is better to stay away from such acquaintances.
