Don’t engage in negative behaviors

10 types of people you need to completely avoid! 

这10种类型的人，你务必要避免！ 

We are surrounded by all types of people. While no two individuals are the same, sadly, there are way too many people that can be classified as toxic. 

我们被各种各样的人包围着，虽然人各有不同，但是有太多的人可以被归类为“有毒的”。 

Number 9 - Victims 

第九，受害者。 

Victims are tough to identify because you initially empathize with their problems. But as time passes, you begin to realize that their “time of need” is all the time. Victims actively push away any personal responsibility by making every speed bump they encounter into an un-crossable mountain. These people are typically immature and lack the ability to face their own challenges or hardships. If you don’t get away from them as quickly as possible, odds are they’ll load all of their problems and responsibilities on you! 

受害者很难辨认，因为你最初会同情他们的问题，但是随着时间的推移，你开始意识到他们一直需要别人的关注。受害者每次遇到困难，都会推卸个人责任，把困难描述的无比巨大。 这些人通常不成熟，缺乏面对自身挑战或困难的能力。如果你不尽快摆脱他们，他们很可能会把所有的问题和责任都推到你身上！ 

Number 10 - Manipulators 

第十，控制狂。 

Using the façade of friendship, manipulators suck time and energy out of your life. Since they treat you like a friend, they can be tricky to deal with. They know what you like, what makes you happy, and what makes you laugh. The difference is, that they use this information as part of a hidden motive. They’ll do anything to win you over, just so they can control you. Manipulators always want something from you, and if you look back on your relationships with them, it’s all take, take, and take - with little or no giving. 

利用友谊的外表，操纵者从你的生活中吸取时间和精力。因为他们把你当作朋友对待，所以很难对付。他们知道你喜欢什么，什么让你快乐，什么让你笑。区别在于，他们这样做是有他们隐藏的动机。为了赢得你，他们会做任何事，但其实只是为了控制你。操纵者总是想从你身上得到一些东西，如果你回头看你和他们的关系，他们一直在索取，索取，索取 ——很少或根本没有给予过。

Of course, it can be challenging to completely avoid all of these types of people. Heck, I’m sure we’re all guilty of engaging in some of these negative behaviors ourselves, every now and then. Should you ever catch yourself acting like one of these people, stop yourself immediately and change your attitude. It’s also important to keep in mind that not everyone is going to like you or treat you with respect. So stop paying attention to people who don’t deserve it, and focus on those who care about you. 

当然，完全避免所有这些类型的人是很有难度的。见鬼，我敢肯定，我们都为自己偶尔做出这些消极行为而感到内疚。如果你发现自己像这些人中的一个，你要立即停止自己，改变你的态度。同样重要的是你要记住不是每个人都会喜欢你或者尊重你。所以不要再关注那些不值得你关注的人，而要关注那些关心你的人。
