Don’t Waste YOUR Life With THESE Dark Characters Who Mean You No Good!
The universe loves diversity, once you take a closer look at the human creation factor. There are so many different kinds of people we encounter every day that it could almost make you dizzy. Some make it easy for us. They are friendly and noncommittal and have no surprises in store for us. Then there are the difficult and the annoying. This rough division, however, can be elaborated in a little more detail. You should be especially careful when dealing with people who fall into the "difficult" category, but who may not be difficult at first glance. In this article, we would like to introduce you to 7 toxic stereotypes that will unfortunately cross your path again and again.
1. Human insecurity factors
They are the ticking time bombs among our fellow human beings and can mutate into major problems. We know them colloquially as drama queens, prima donnas prone to hysteria and people with an extremely short fuse. They can be affable and charming. The next moment they are throwing dishes, shouting wild insults or bursting into tears. At some point, every day with them feels like a dance on egg shells or thin ice. They truly make our lives hell with their mood swings and tantrums. The occasions and triggers become more and more trivial as time goes on. The intervals between their outbursts become shorter. No one should have to live and work under this constant verbal bombardment. It is never possible to predict when the next emotionally charged attack will occur. There is no remedy for such human insecurity factories. There is nothing that we, as their fellow human beings, could do differently or better to spare everyone involved in these completely irrational eruptions.
2. Chronically jealous people.
Even if they’re only a tangential part of your life, save yourself from jealous people if you can. Jealousy is a pathological affair that cannot be eradicated with words and rational arguments. Once the poison of these toxic thoughts has manifested itself in a person's imagination, no stone is left unturned in this relationship. According to studies, jealousy results from a great insecurity regarding the value of one's own person. This feeling of inferiority believably deceives us into believing that we do not deserve our partners and that they know this very well and see it in exactly the same way. It is therefore only logical, and this logic is the only one one will find in the context of jealousy, that she or he will look for other partners. Jealousy is not considered a mental illness, although it has many parallels to it and plunges the sufferer into a similarly hopeless dilemma. Living with such people is psychological torture in a continuous loop.
3. Major pessimists
At least as exhausting as jealous fellow human beings are the notorious pessimists. They have loaded the misery of the world onto their shoulders, see potential misfortune lurking in every situation and wander through life like a record with a skip, always spouting the same negative platitudes. The weather is always bad in their world. All people are criminals and fate has decided against them. They complain and nag without ceasing and find at least one fly in the soup even in the most beautiful episodes of their existence. Basically, we can be indifferent to such sourpusses as long as we are not forced to spend our time with them. Anyone who has to share a workplace or an apartment, a neighborhood or a seat on the train with them for a long period of time will subsequently know the pain. Such people rob us of an enormous amount of energy, even if their apocalyptic monologues don't affect us personally.
4. Manipulative puppet masters
Narcissists, psychopaths and the normal manipulators of everyday life are sinister people we should steer clear of as far as possible. They always have their ears to the ground in search of information that they can use against their fellow human beings. The weaknesses they discover in this way then serve them as a starting point for their diabolical activities. They drip their poisonous whispers into our ears with sly persistence, so that for a long time we don't even notice that they are manipulating us. They skillfully weave a spider's web of closeness and distance, affection and emotional coldness, in which the weak and disoriented can easily get caught.
5. Gossips
They love to gossip about other people and their misadventures, failures and misfortunes. Praise and recognition rarely are spoken in these conversations. What fascinates us so much about the misfortunes of others that we have to make them the focus of our conversations is something that evolutionary research begins to clarify for us. Those who exchange information, and preferably in real time, have a clear advantage in the event of a threat. So spreading news is not a bad thing in itself. However, this passion for gossip becomes questionable when it revolves exclusively around our fellow human beings, and not in a positive way. If you want to keep your peace of mind, it's better to avoid the notorious gossips. They tend to twist other people's words, and before you know it, you'll find yourself in the crosshairs of destructive damage to your reputation.
6. Lying barons and swindlers
It's pretty self-explanatory, but anyone who has an excessive penchant for untruthfulness shouldn't be in our circles any more than absolutely necessary. Liars should always be treated with caution. They are absolutely not trustworthy and usually know their imaginative craft better than we can defend ourselves. If you catch someone fibbing over and over again, be on your guard. Little fibs can quickly turn into a whopper of a lie that can have devastating consequences.
7. Self-absorbed egocentrics
People who have named themselves the center of the world should go on and live it out by themselves. The best thing for them is to rule as autocrats on a desert island, where they are allowed to indulge their need for superiority and their hedonistic penchant for dictatorship in epic proportions. Having to live with egoists is like handing over your human rights at the checkroom. The same applies to one's own opinion and free choice. Egoists are like a human tornado that mows down everything in the way to their goal, gladly accepting collateral damage.
Today’s Conclusion: Man is man's wolf
This well-known quotation from a Roman poet has been warning us for centuries, more or less successfully, not to place too much trust in our fellow human beings. Not all people we meet harbor good intentions. A pinch of caution has never hurt. Life experience teaches us this lesson over and over again, sometimes unfortunately in a painful way. If you have the luxury of choosing your environment, choose wisely. Remember the old saying of unknown origin: "Be kind to everyone, but for company choose only the best.'' That's it for today.
