TYPES OF PEOPLE TO AVOID IN YOUR CIRCLES.

 THE CONSTANT CRITIC

Psychologist say that people who constantly criticize can really hurt your self esteem and overall well-being. Think about it - if you are always around negativity and criticism that you start to feel like you reality,  it can seriously harm your confidence,  productivity and happiness. it's not about avoiding people who give you feedback, but rather recognizing those that criticize just for the sake of it.

THE ENERGY VAMPIRE

We've all had that one friend or coworker who leaves us feeling completely drained after just a few minutes together. Psychologists often call these people 'Energy Vampires'  When it is important to be there for friends during tough times there's a difference between being supportive and being treated like an emotional punching bag. Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with someone. If you constantly feel drained instead of uplifted, they might be an energy vampire.

THE ONE-SIDED FRIEND 

In a healthy friendship both parties give and take. But there are some who only take and rarely give. They ask for favors, your time and your help,  but aren't there when you need the same. Psychologists have noticed that these kinds of relationships make you feel resentful and frustrated. People in one- sided relationships oftenly feel less confident and valuable. Research also shows that when we put our time and energy into this unbalanced relationships, we miss out on chances to build better ones.

PERPETUAL VICTIMS

Life can be challenging for everyone,  but some people seem to always be in a crisis.  They act like they are always the victim, blaming others for their problems. While it is important to be empathetic, it's also important to see where someone is using their victim role to manipulate others.  This can create a cycle guilt and obligations that's hard to escape. People who always play victims rarely take responsibility for the actions,  which can stop them from growing.  For those around them, this constant negativity and blame can be exhausting and harmful for their own mental health.

THE GOSSIP MONGER

We've all met that person who loves to spread the latest gossip or rumors. They always seem to know everyone's business and can't wait to share it. Although it might seem harmless or even fun, psychologists say that gossip can seriously damage relationships to create mistrust and can make any setting -whether at work,  in friendship or within families, toxic. Also, if they are gossiping to you about others, they are probably gossiping about you too. This can make you feel insecure and anxious.

THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATOR 

One of the hardest types of people to deal with is the emotional manipulator. They are skilled at making you doubt your feelings and reality, openly using guilt or sympathy to control you. At first, they might seem caring and attentive but eventually, their manipulative behavior will start to show.  This can leave you feeling confused, unimportant and emotionally exhausted. A healthy relationship should make you feel good about yourself,  not to make you  question your worth or sanity.

THE RELENTLESS PESSIMIST 

Life life has it ups and downs but having a positive attitude can make a big difference.  If the pessimists around you are dragging you down, it might be time to make some changes.  Their negative Outlook can spread to you and soon you might start feeling just as negative.

THE OVER ACHIEVERS

At first an over achiever may sound like the ideal person to be around.  They are driven by ambitious and are often successful. But psychologists warns that being around over achievers can actually hurt your well-being.  This constant drive for perfection can make you feel like you are never good enough,  leading to feelings of overwhelm and guilt, for not keeping up. Remember,  everyone has their own pace and idea of success. Don't let an over achiever's high standards make you feel like your own achievements are vague. Compete with your own ambitions.

THE DRAMA QUEEN OR KING.

Who doesn't enjoy a bit of drama now and then? It can be exciting an entertaining. But if someone is always bringing drama into your life,  it can become exhausting and disruptive. Meet the drama King or Queen. They seem to thrive on conflict and attract crisis whenever they go. Even small issues get blown out of proportion, turning simple conversations into dramatic stories. Psychologists say these constant dramas can harm your mental health, causing unnecessary stress and anxiety and making it hard to enjoy life simple pleasures.
