Dealing with different personalities is a part of life, but certain people simply aren't worth the hassle. Avoid these toxic personality types and you'll be rewarded with a happier existence.

Just today I had a fight with my Team leader because according to her there ar emany rules I am not following in the company. Well she probably is right... I do admitt that there are  some rules that I can't follow,  but the thing is just recently I have always been her focus of  attention. Up to the point that  I don't like the tone of her voice when she repremands me. Then yesterday she wanted  me to talk to her but I said I can't because I have something else to do and I'm in a hurry. The truth is I really don't want to talk to her because  I think she is pointless and many people are complaining about her constant "power play." She came to me with her hostile face this morning and she said let's talk. I told her " Look at your face, that's exactly the reason why I don't want to talk to you." I am the kind who wants to  let myself cool first before I talk to the person because I'm afraid that I might say something that  will hurt another person. But she came to my station giving me the " Bring it On" look...hehe...It's funny...Then there  it goes she said a lot of things, showing how she can command me like she's the goddess of perfection. But I of couse defended my self and I asked her " Was it  your first tie to handle people?" when she said " Yes"  I answered " Doesn't seem like it."... Well you are right  about this line "But we do have a choice. As an adult with free will, there’s no reason put up with people that don’t make you feel good about yourself if you don’t absolutely have to. This includes office mates, friends, and even family members. If you are looking for peace of mind, happiness, or even a return to sanity, start by avoiding these five personality types." ---> This is exactly what I'm gonna do because I don't want toxicity in my life, who wants cancer from too much stress anyway?!  :P..."hakuna matata"...which means "No worries.."lalalalala

I finally escaped from a relationship with someone who is all about themself. What about the "taker" personality. This is someone that takes but never gives and is always right about everything they say.....I found that this toxic person had worn me down to someone with low self-esteem until I broke free and am now back to my positive self, enjoying what I love to do instead letting this person control all aspects of the relationSHIP.......I AM BACK (-:

I have a co worker who is a "one upper"
I can't not begin to say how annoying those people are.. the worst thing, is that they don't even realize what they are doing. AGH

Thier is one that encompasses all of these- Borderline Personality Disorder- When first meeting they become all you ever wanted, because they morph into what they thinck U want, then they start to reveal all the above charateristics once they have U hooked. Run don't walk!!
