Sometimes toxic people are easy to spot.
They drain your time or resources away and you know it’s crucial that you cut them out.
Others can be harder.
If youre not sure if a person is bad for you, try redefining a boundary.
However, toxic influences will probably react negatively:
Toxic people disregard your boundaries.
Respecting the boundaries of others comes naturally to well-adjusted adults.
The toxic person thrives on violating them.
That makes this tactic doubly useful.
Intentionally changing a previous boundary serves as both a diagnostic tool and a solution.
