Toxic relationships are broadly defined as ones that are repetitive, mutually destructive and have unhealthy patterns that cause more harm than good for both parties. Toxic relationships can be with friends, family and/or your partner.

Learn how to just walk away, and live your life without all that Toxity and Narc

When they try and contact you deny their pleadings. Sometimes if they try to destroy you with your Friends or Family, again start again. You can however ask your Friends and family you have known for possibly a long time, ask then do they feel what has been said about you, in their eyes does it sound like you.

You may never know what has been said or done against you, Sad to say you will loose friends and family, those people do not have your interests at heart. You will need to move on, understanding you are better to walk away without that determined effort you may consider it is all self defeating. Walk away.

Those people who trust and understand you without talking against you are the best friends you will have.

It is hard to walk away, however it is the best sanction the listeners and chatterers will eventually loose their audience and will need to move on to pastures new.
