Most people who are toxic are toxic because the persons brain is wired in a way that they get a thrill out of being toxic to you.

Usually when someone is Toxic towards other people it's because they have nothing better to do and have problems themselves that they just want to take out on you and other people.

The same is true with bullies and even kid and teen bullies as they usually have more problems in their lives than the person they are bullying.

Remember that even though the bully or toxic person is making fun of you or being abusive to you that you are much better than the bully.

A toxic person can change their ways if they are willing to change their ways of being toxic.

However most toxic people never change because they don't want too change.

Some people just enjoy the thrill and excitement of being toxic to people because they love to get the reaction out of the person or people they are being toxic too.

I would only give a toxic person or toxic people one chance to change their ways of being toxic to me and if they didn't change their ways within a year then I would stop being around them or near them.

Toxic people can cause mental health issues and destroy your quality of life and life is so short that it's not worth worrying about things you cannot change.

So you should move on with your life when someone is being toxic to you.

The best way to ignore toxic people is to just walk away from them and tell them that you want nothing more to do with them.

Toxic people rarely do change and those people who are toxic in your life are not worth your time being around.

Some people may act like they are your friends but then do things behind your back or talk about you badly behind your back.

A true friend would never do that.

So if a supposed friend is treating you badly or being toxic to you then cut them out of your life and go on about your life.

If the toxic person is becoming dangerous or threatens you in an way then you need to get a restraining order against that person that will legally prevent contact with you.

When dealing with adult bullies or any other bullies it's best to just ignore them when possible.

Bullies bully people because they are hoping to get a reaction out of the person they are bullying.

So when you react to that bully whether the bully is an adult or a kid, teen etc then you're just fueling the fire so to speak.

The bully will then know that they can get a reaction out of you and know they are hurting you and they get a thrill out of doing so.

So the best thing to do is just walk away from the bully and don't engage them or say anything to them.

However if it still continues then you need to speak up and tell them sternly that you do not put up with their behavior and then if they continue then report them to authorities.

Or get a restraining order against the person that is being a bully.

Or if they tease you about something then laugh about it and say why thank you for your compliment I like "Whatever it is the bully is teasing about".

Eventually the bully will move on and stop bullying you if you do keep ignoring them.
