Toxicity in My Inner Circle: A Personal Story

Have you ever found yourself constantly questioning your own self-worth? Or feeling drained and exhausted after spending time with certain family members or friends? You're not alone. Many of us have been there, and it's a tough place to be.

I used to be in the same boat. I didn't realize how toxic some of the people in my life were until it was too late. The constant criticism and negativity started to take a toll on my mental health, and I found myself struggling to be happy and confident.

But then, I had an epiphany. I realized that I deserved better. I deserved to be surrounded by people who uplifted and encouraged me, not brought me down. And so, I made the tough decision to cut ties with the toxic people in my life.

It wasn't easy, and there were moments when I second-guessed my decision. But looking back, it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I've since surrounded myself with positive, supportive people who bring out the best in me. And let me tell you, the difference it's made in my life is incredible.

If you're in a similar situation, know that it's okay to put yourself first. You don't owe anyone your time or energy if they're not bringing anything positive to your life. Remember, you deserve to be happy and healthy, and that starts with surrounding yourself with the right people.
