Social media can be a useful way to stay connected to friends and family, but it can also bring out the worst in people. Platforms like Twitter and Facebook are often magnets for people who want to complain, gossip, or pick fights with others. If you have “friends” like this in your social networks, you don’t have to let their negativity get you do...
Recognize toxic behavior for what it is.
If someone’s posts, comments, and messages consistently make you feel worse than you did before, you’re probably
dealing with a toxic person
A few common signs of a toxic personality include lying frequently, putting others down, and being excessively pessimistic.
For instance, if someone you know is constantly posting gloomy, self-pitying statuses on Facebook to get attention, they may be toxic.
A person isn’t necessarily toxic just because you dislike them. Rather, a toxic person is someone who saps your energy or brings out the worst in you.
Think carefully before you get involved with a toxic person.
If you know someone is prone to starting drama, consider whether engaging with them on social media is worth it. It might be best to avoid sending them a friend request or commenting on their post in the first place.
If a toxic person tries to stir up trouble with you, don’t give them any ammunition. Reply to a critical or competitive remark by saying something neutral or positive. If you refuse to play their game, they’ll move on and bother someone else.
For instance, if your sister-in-law frequently leaves comments on your posts implying that her kids are smarter than yours, it might make your blood boil. However, it’s still best to avoid a fight by replying, “Sounds like your kids are doing well. Have a good day!”
Know you’re not obligated to validate a toxic person.
You don’t have to boost anyone’s ego, listen to excessive self-pity, or get involved in other people’s arguments. If you don’t like the way a conversation or comment thread is going, don’t feel guilty about excusing yourself.
Once or twice a year, go through your friend list and ask yourself whether you’re glad to have all of these people in your life. If you dread receiving messages from certain people, or if there are a few friends you always end up arguing with online, they may be toxic.
Unfollow people whose posts bring you down.
If you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings by unfriending them on Facebook, you can unfollow them instead. When you unfollow someone, you remain friends with them, but you stop seeing their posts in your news feed.
People can’t tell when you unfollow them.
Unfriend or block people you don’t want any contact with.
If you want to cut contact with someone, remove them from your friend list. Block them if you don’t want to see any of their posts or comments anymore.
