Change

Change.
.
You cannot change people into what you want them to be but what you can do is change your own personal dynamics.
.
Self awareness is the first step.
.
The next is to practice self care and end and/or stop participating in toxic behaviors that allow people to...
.
Interfere with your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual growth.
.
Ignore, play down or dismiss your emotions.
.
Gaslight you.
.
Take advantage of you.
.
The truth is, people are not necessarily toxic but it's their behaviors that may be toxic for you.
.
Remember... you have the right to set boundaries and the power to decide if you want a person in or out of your life.
