Beware of the person who always has bad news to share. I’m not talking about the occasional instances. I’m talking about people who do this chronically.
They’ll tell you all the bad news that’s happening everywhere in the world. Things that are irrelevant to you and them.
Why do they do this? Chances are, they know you’re a caring person and they enjoy watching you give them an emotional reaction.
It’s sort of like a game to them. They think it’s funny to manipulate you and see you waste your time and energy on their non-sense.
Once again, I’m talking about someone with constant and excessive bad news. They’ll tell you all the drama that’s happening with their siblings, their friends, and even people in countries you never heard of.
What should you do? You really have only two options here. 1) let them know not to constantly bombard you with bad news. That it’s ok if they tell you something that happened to them or their loved ones as long as it’s not constant and excessive. 2) cut them off.
When should you cut them off? When you’ve deduced that they are maliciously and intentionally trying to steal your energy and/or drain your energy.
If you always find yourself drained after interacting with the toxic person and, on the flip side, they end up feeling more energetic, upbeat and in a good mood; then it’s safe to say this person is not good for you.
Do you have someone like this in your life?

Thank You Chris, again so true, and today is a day that I feel I can’t go on like this, just keep praying, please pray with me, thank you for your support.
Yes the worst most hateful person is my own sister. It wasn’t enough that she ruined my relationships with both my partners. Distanced my kids with BS. She is abusive and sadly a lot of people believe and follow her. I don’t understand why I’m being dished out so much pain. I tried to buy your books but Facebook put the payment towards a psychic reading which is a bit weird I might try and order them again. Sounds a fascinating read abou your lif e ❤️ildiko
