I don’t know why but recently certain people in my social circle have been very toxic and overall rude and disrespectful.
So I decided to block them on whatsapp and social media.
I’m doing this for my own self respect. I don’t know, i’m just over being judged for my mental illness and being called lazy when I have a disease.
Anyone else deal with people that you were forced to block or ghost because of toxicity?
Yes. Some for only a period of time, others permanently. It was the best decision I could have made during those times. I was a lot healthier mentally after that.
Yes, I even deactivated my FB for about a year. I still have a few people blocked, but the most toxic person in my life is the one I can’t avoid! It’s my brother, as my mom, bro and I are all roomies. If I could afford to live by myself, I would. But having all the dogs makes it impossible to go anywhere unless I’m able to buy a house.
I think it’s a good thing that you did what was necessary for your own well being. We don’t need toxic people in ours lives!!
Yes I also have extended family members that are very toxic to my mental and well being that I had to cut off!
I can echo what @LilyoftheValley said. Some relationships I paused, but they’ve since continued. Some friends couldn’t understand why I wasn’t able to do life the way I used to before I got sick. Other friends were angry at my husband. But they didn’t see all the good he was doing.
