VIDEO - Dealing with a toxic person? Stop expecting them to be different.

This may sound ludicrously simple, but it’s enormously powerful: 

THE *MOST* IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF WHEN DEALING WITH A TOXIC PERSON IS TO STOP EXPECTING THEM TO CHANGE. 

It’s all too easy to beat your head against the wall when dealing with someone who is toxic. Why? It’s typically because you are trying to use logic to explain to the toxic person why their behavior isn’t okay. Meanwhile, they are engaged in tactics that play to your emotions in order to manipulate you and get their way.

LOGIC VS. EMOTION IS A FIGHT YOU CAN’T WIN.

The toxic person knows that, and on some level you know it, but because you really want this person to be better, you keep engaging in the hopes that logic will somehow break through and they will have a lightbulb moment that changes everything. 

Highly unlikely. 

The best thing you can do for yourself is to stop expecting this person to change. It’s your own expectations that repeatedly lead to disappointment. This person has already shown you who they are - believe them!
