some toxic things were said
Remember that no one deserves toxic behavior, and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. If at all possible, remove toxic people from your life, or try your best to ignore them.
Toxic comments can severely affect our mental health and self-esteem. Common phrases, such as 'You look like you don't even eat anything' or 'You're lucky a service worker doesn't just kill you now,' highlight the cruelty often faced in daily interactions. Recognizing and understanding these toxic expressions is crucial for self-protection. It's essential to confront the impact of such negativity; firstly, by acknowledging that these statements are not true reflections of one's worth. Instead of internalizing harmful words, individuals should focus on positive affirmations and foster a supportive environment filled with encouraging voices. Mental health professionals suggest developing coping strategies, including seeking support from friends or therapy, to navigate through these distressing experiences. Journaling can also be an effective tool to process feelings and reinforce a positive self-image. Ultimately, setting boundaries with toxic individuals and prioritizing your well-being is vital for personal growth and happiness.
I dont understand how "You look like you don't eat anything" and "Oh my god, she's so skinny" are toxic? One of them sounds like its admiration. 🤷♀️
