10 Types of Toxic People You Should Avoid in Life

=A THREAD BY WD=

1. The Manipulator

It’s one of the most seen toxic traits.

They pull time and energy out of your life.

Manipulators always want something from you,
They’ll do anything to win you over.
2. The Liar

If a person lies to you for the first time; forgive them. If a person lies to you for the second time, avoid them.

Never lie to someone who trusts you. Never trust someone who lies to you.
3. The Gossiper

“Great minds discuss ideas, average ones discuss events, and small minds discuss people.”

They also have an uncanny ability to put your success in danger.

Stay away from the gossip. They’re unkind, unproductive, and will hurt your chances for success.
4. The Envious

Envious people are jealous of your achievements, happiness, success, and the love you receive.

Keep an eye on such types of toxic people to avoid disturbance in your life.
5. The Complainer

There’s nothing more annoying than the complainer.

The complainer doesn’t realize that almost all of the stuff they complain about is 100% within their ability to change. Yet they never try.

Stay away from these people. They drain you quicker than you think.
6. The Lazy

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying some time off, but at some point, you have to hop back on the productivity train.
7. The Needy

They are continually asking for something or the other.

It starts with something small and may end up with something big like financial help, materials, etc.

It would help if you stayed away from habitually needy people for your own good.
8. The Insecure

They don’t believe in their self-growth instead focus on other people’s destruction.

Insecurity and the lack of trust is the root cause of destroying relationships.
9. The Victim

One of the most dangerous people you can have around you is the perpetual victim.

Perpetual victims look at their own issues and mistakes and always find others to blame.

They never take ownership of their own lives.
10. The Self-Absorbed

Self-Absorbed people believe in “ME” and not “WE.”

They don’t show interest in the rest of the world.

Their own emotions, feelings, actions, comfort, needs, etc. should always be prioritized.
Choose your INNER CIRCLE and your friends wisely because not only will they motivate you to achieve your dreams, but they also can make or break you.

Don’t let these types of people drag you down and hold you back. You’ve got success to grab.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
