Most times I see the good in people. I've learned cultural flexibility to accommodate many types of people. It always pains me to give up on people or leave. Sometimes I feel like I failed.
When I'm asked to leave relationships I found it easy to accept I'm no good when I'm not welcome. Of course it does hurt. But when I'm welcome by others who are different and new, it's like a blue sky cleared of clouds.
A counselor told me there are toxic relationships. I tend to shy from such harsh words because it feels like I'm condemning someone. But it's about the relationship that needs to end.
I'm learning the truth of this everyday. Some of the best most well meaning people can affect me badly because they don't see how it affects me. And the reason may not be selfishness or anything mean. But it often is about blindness, stubbornness and some obsession other than relationships. It often is placing money above all else.
When any obsession overshadows personal growth and enjoying life with loved ones... It is death in the making. Therefore toxic.
Sometimes miracles happen and people find growing, support through thick and thin. Love. Which is anything but toxic.
