They don’t support you, nor help you to develop. They only bring a dark aura that can trigger a bad impact on your focus. Utilize your energy as efficiently as possible to channel your creativity into your duty and don’t waste your time into something useless.

Remind yourself about the goals you set up

When you see bad influence is being dispersed, the thing you should do is keep reminding yourself about the goals you set up. Toxic people don’t care about your dreams or goals.

Don’t involve too much

At the first impression, toxic people may not be really dominant, however, once you see another mask they use, then it’s your time to step back and find other positive vibes you can gather with. When you must connect with this parasitic-people and discuss about working, you have to make sure that the discussion only consists of working and duty you guys have to accomplish. Don’t involve to their personal business and stuff, because it seems like you start opening your gate to connect personally with them and it brings no good.
