“It’s odd that we often don’t really know about narcissists unless we encounter one first hand. But when you have encountered one, you never quite look at the world the same again.”

I probably encountered these toxic traits before, but they didn’t register. Looking back now, I can recall others who showed me similar traits!

As with anything, you don’t know until you know. I had to learn about the many traits I was seeing and the only way to do that was to read, listen to others, and get help from professionals experienced in them.

Exploring the realm of human behaviour was both fascinating and complex for me over the past few years. I learned that Toxic Traits are characteristics or behaviours that can be detrimental to individuals or relationships. They can subtly or overtly cause harm, create tension, and hinder personal growth. It can be demoralizing, as it was for me!

One common toxic trait is manipulation. Manipulative individuals use subtle tactics to control or influence me for their own gain. They deceive, guilt trip, or play mind games to manipulate emotions and behaviours. I had to learn to recognize these patterns and set healthy boundaries to protect myself.

Another toxic trait is constant criticism. People with this trait often belittle, demean, or constantly find fault in me for all I did and said. Their negative comments and constant nitpicking did erode my self-esteem and confidence. Surrounding myself with supportive and encouraging individuals was vital for my personal well-being.

Jealousy and envy are toxic traits that can poison relationships. Individuals harbouring these traits often feel threatened by the success or happiness of others. Toxic Tenants I had did engage in unhealthy competition, gossip, or sabotage to bring me down. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude and celebrating others’ achievements helped me combat these toxic feelings.

Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic that is often used by individuals to gain control and power over others. It involves distorting the truth and manipulating my perception of reality to make me doubt my own thoughts, emotions, and experiences, such as what they did with the Entry Buzz Code!

In the context of toxic relationships, gaslighting can be especially damaging. It undermines the victim’s sense of self-worth, leaving them feeling confused, invalidated, and even questioning their own sanity. The gaslighter employs various techniques such as denial, exaggeration, blame-shifting, and even outright lies to make me doubt my own experiences and memories.

They created a lie of a prior meeting at some restaurant, claiming I said inappropriate things to them that showed them I was a racist person, and repeated this lie to many people, trying to convince you it was true. This act alone showed their Gaslighting traits!

One of the reasons gaslighting is so insidious is that it can happen gradually, making it difficult for the victim to realize what is happening until they are deeply entangled in the manipulator’s web. Gaslighters often target vulnerable individuals, exploiting their weaknesses and using emotional manipulation to control and dominate them.

It was crucial to recognize the signs of gaslighting in order to protect myself and others from its harmful effects. The signs I saw included constant denial or dismissal of my feelings, twisting or distorting my words or actions, and making me question my own memory or perception of the situation.

If you believe that you or someone you know is being subjected to gaslighting, it is important to seek support from trusted friends, family, or professionals who can provide guidance and help validate your experiences. Remember, you are not alone, and no one has the right to manipulate and undermine your reality.

By shedding light on the toxic trait of gaslighting, we can raise awareness and create an environment where healthy relationships thrive, free from manipulation and control. It is a dream I have that I know will eventually come to fruition!

It’s important to remember that we all have the capacity for toxic behaviours at times. The key is to recognize and acknowledge them and strive for personal growth and change. Building healthy relationships and fostering a positive mindset can help combat these toxic traits and create a more harmonious environment for everyone involved.

It is true, once you have the knowledge and can explain what you see, you never look at the world the same ever again. I know I won’t!

I used to have a hopeful perspective on human nature, always believing in the power of empathy and understanding. I truly believed that when people realized the impact of their words and actions on others, they would choose kindness and compassion. While I come to see some do not, I am glad to say that my optimism has been proven right countless times. The beauty of human resilience and the capacity for change continues to inspire me every day.

In our society, unfortunately, there are individuals who possess toxic traits and an unwavering belief that they have the authority to dictate the lives of others.

These Toxic Tenants arrogantly perceived themselves as the ultimate arbiters of how I should be perceived by those around me. Their actions and behaviour reflect a deep-seated need for control and dominance, leading them to exert their influence over every aspect of my existence.

They think the content of their personally titled domains where the content is about me and others, is so powerful that they will negatively affect me and how I live, which showed me this trait.

It does not matter; the point here is that Stella Reddy is in a continuous losing battle because, in the end, everyone who searches her name from friends, family, or future or current employers and co-workers, will all see the truth about her and will deal with her accordingly.

I learned these toxic individuals thrive on power imbalances and exploit vulnerabilities in others to maintain a sense of superiority. They often prioritize their own desires and interests over the well-being and autonomy of those they seek to control. Their harmful actions did lead to significant negative effects on my mental and emotional health which lead to feelings of helplessness, anxiety, and self-doubt.

It was important to educate myself about toxic behaviour patterns and implementing self-care practices was a crucial step in rebuilding and maintaining my own sense of self-worth.

Remember, no one deserves to be under the control of toxic individuals. By recognizing their behaviour and taking steps to distance myself from their influence, it was possible to regain control of my life and foster a healthier and more positive environment for personal growth and happiness.

Be yourself. People don’t have to like you, and you don’t have to care.

In this age of the Internet, it is evident that not every online interaction will be positive. These Toxic Tenants choose to express their dissatisfaction and spread their negativity through their websites.

However, it is crucial for me to remember that I shouldn’t allow myself to be burdened by the opinions of these Toxic Tenants who attempt to tarnish my reputation.

As a wise individual once said, “You can’t control what others say about you, but you can control how you react to it.” In this case, it’s essential to approach such situations with a resilient mindset and remind myself of my own worth and achievements. I came to do that every morning, and over time, it made a big difference!

Instead of dwelling on the opinions of Toxic Tenants, I can choose to channel my energy toward nurturing positive relationships and focusing on my own personal growth and success.

Remember, the online world can be a challenging place, and it’s natural to face criticism from trolls. However, I shouldn’t let it define me or discourage me from pursuing my own goals. By preserving my self-confidence and focusing on my own values, I was able to rise above negativity and continue striving for greatness.

So, the next time I encounter any unwarranted comments or negative remarks from Toxic Tenants on their many websites, I will remember that their words hold no power over my true essence. I will stay strong, keep moving forward, and let my actions speak louder than any unfounded criticism from Toxic Tenants.

They can do their worst, but I will always remain steadfast and unyielding in the face of their blatant criticisms. No matter what challenges or obstacles they try to throw my way, I am determined to stay true to myself and live my life on my own terms.

It is during these tough times that one’s true character is revealed, and I am confident that I possess the strength and resilience to overcome any hardships that come. I believe that every setback is an opportunity for growth and self-improvement, and I embrace the unknown with open arms. So let them unleash their fury and try to dampen my spirit, for I am a force to be reckoned with, unwavering in my pursuit of a fulfilling and meaningful life.
