Not that this applies to me at the moment but it is just another random wacky thought...
Is there anyone in your life who you dread contact with because they always bring you down? I mean even if you are happy as all heck, they either purposely (or non-purposely for that matter) make you wish you never had to spend time with them? A person like this:

Yep! I sure do.
Always some haters running around. Some people just can't be happy that others are content with their lives. Pretty sad...

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
I had an extremely toxic friend for about 7 years. We were a group of 4 girls. I ended the friendship about 3 years ago and the other two soon followed. None of us wanted to deal w/her BS anymore, it was just too exhausting. I am much happier w/out her in my life. Some people are like parasites and will just suck the life right out of you, lol.

Not anymore!!! I successfully cut that cord a few years ago. She doesn't even know I'm getting married even though we have a friend in common.

I used to, but chose to lose touch w/ her...she was always so negative & always left me leaving her feeling down.

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
I used to but I ended our friendship about 4 years ago. She was the type of person who was always negative but blamed her negativity on everyone else. The final straw for me was when she complained to me that I was never available to go out anymore because I was spending too much time at my parents house...with my terminally ill Mother!!!! That was it for me.

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
I used to have many......2 from college that I thankfully had a falling out with and no longer am in contact with...they don't even know I am getting married...
And then a whole group of people I was friends with in HS....I lost touch with them and I am better off...
Sometimes I am saddened by the fact that I have very few friends that I have known for a long time BUT I would rather have a handful of true good friends than a boatload of toxic ones!

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
yup... i used to,but i ended the friendship about a year ago.. we were best friends in high school, and went to college together, but she turned out to be a real ^itch........ she hated DH ( who was my BF then), and just was really mean to both of us for awhile.....i was in her wedding, and she sent the invite to me ' and guest'... didn't put my DHs name on there, even though we were engaged at the time!! who else was i gonna bring?? and after spent almost $1000 to be in her wedding, it really hurt me... but the last straw was when i wanted to order a picture of her wedding party ( that i was in ) from the photographer. she never told me that she didn't want me to have it, but i didn't let her know in time... so i contacted the photographer myself and ordered the print ( again, she had never told me she didn't want me to have it).... so then, i get a nasty e-mail from her ' you have NO RIGHT to have our private wedding pictures, and i would like them returned ASAP. when you do, i will give you your money back' that was definitely the last straw!!! i pay $1000 to make sure you have a nice wedding, shower, bach party- and you won't even let me have a pic of the wedding part y that i was in?? it was really a slap in the face to me.... so i ended it, and to tell you the truth, i don't miss her, and i think i'm better off...... LOL wow! that was long... guess i needed to vent!

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
OH YES!!! Toxic people! My father & my FFIL <--notice a trend here??
Unfortunately, I cant cut ties with either.. although I haven't spoken to my father in years.. some people just have toxic blood running through their veins.. its sad, but I truly believe that some people really dont know how to be happy - I actually kind of feel bad for these people.
As for Toxic friends.. ties have been cut a LOOONNGG time ago. I look back at all the toxic friends that I used to have and see how miserable they are in life and think - 'Hey, I could have been like that', but instead, chose my own path in life, said fugg em, and here I am today. IM HAPPY! WOo HooO!

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
I don't know if it could be considered 'toxic', but I had many friends who would complain about their lives and yet do nothing about it to improve it. Or they would continue to stay with men that treated them like crap, yet complain. One friend of mine went so far as to have the guy's kid thinking that would keep him around or to get back at him. Now she complains he does nothing for the kid. What did you expect??!
I can't be around people like that. That complain about their lives and either do nothing about it, or get themselves into the predicament they see coming anyway.

Re: NWR: Do you have a toxic person in your life?
I can think of one friend from college that comes to mind, but I don't really talk to him much anymore. I feel so bad for him, he's got troubles but he lets them get to him. I tried to help but there's only so much you can do for a person, the rest they have to do themselves.
