They will make sure you are feel isolated and alone and that the problem is you because things were good before.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to win with a toxic person is not to play. If someone\u00a0treats you badly often, it is not a mistake, it is part of their regular behaviour. \u00a0You can&#8217;t change others, you can only change yourself. You don&#8217;t need to get rid of the toxic people in your life. When you stop engaging in a the game of tug of war with them, they usually disappear on their own. They will loose interest if you are no longer willing to play the game.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Angel Guidance is look at\u00a0your toxic relationships:<\/h4>\n<h4>Pay attention to your energy when you are with others.<\/h4>\n<p>Notice if your energy increases or decreases with the people in your life.
