Positivity

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.

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 !
