How do you guys avoid toxic people? Any advice at all would be much appreciated.

I’d say just do your own thing. Yes they’re present but just don’t engage with them. Also, surround yourself with positive people and change the environment if you can. As in, don’t be in the same space as they are.
Thank you. That is very helpful
@Lost&Found - You’re welcome.🤍
This on the surface may seem counterintuitive but for me personally it is not . To a reasonable extent dealing with toxic and difficult people can have a therapeutic effect. It helps me look inward for more self awareness and self discipline. Also some of the very qualities in these hard to deal with people are present in myself and I can work out further, knowing that I am not exactly “ a pleasant walk in the park “ , LOL !
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊
Does anyone have any tips that helped them? Mine is due to a specific person and I work with them so it’s been really difficult. I’ve started ERP which has been reaaalllllly challenging and I would love to hear from anyone else that has gone through any type of contamination ocd and how they have overcome or are fighting their way through it. Thank you!l
I stopped being friends with somebody years ago and still get magical thinking OCD about them (it was over something, not losing contact because we grew up). We were friends for many years, since high school, althought at times even my relatives noticed I was mentally drained every time we met. Like the kind of person that you wish the best for them, but you don't connect anymore and they take all your energy. I see it as toxic, to be honest. How do I erase this person and all my memories of them out of my brain? I get so much anxiety about this
