My speech:

Choose your social circle

We live in a dangerous time. The biggest threat to us is... People. Each of you may have encountered a toxic person. He drowns you in a swamp of poison, pointing out your flaws and laughing every time. And these people are closer than you think.  I had friends who said: "English? You learn Russian at first!", "Oh. Forty-seventh the size of the clothes. You're lucky", "Don't be so emotional", "What problems can you have?". They have committed the most terrible crime.They didn't care about my feelings. I want to tell you who toxic people are, how to recognize them, and how to protect yourself from them.

   Toxic people are very closely related to the word "abuse". The term "abusive relationships" is used by many clinical psychologists and scientists, including Julia Platonova. Abusive relationships are relationships where the partner violates the personal boundaries of another person. And this partner is called an abuser.
 They can be your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend or even a relative. These are people who continuously subject to emotional or physical violence those they know personally. Do you think it won't affect you? But sooner or later we meet such people. And we understand the truth only when we are strongly attached to a person.

       But how do you know that there is such a person next to you?

What I'm about to tell you may sound completely mundane but there is a danger in these points.

At first this person does not respect you and your opinion. In conversation with you, the person allows himself to use sarcasm and rudeness. It is an alarming signal.If you notice this behavior he says that you are exaggerating. But be careful. Disrespect can also be expressed in the form of idealization.

Then this is total control. It is very nice when a person says that they want to be near you often. At first he tell you not to wear bright makeup and then forbids you to communicate with your friends. But you have your personal boundaries.
A third point is a strong jealosy. Do you like being jealous? And when your partner, friend, or parent is very angry at you and your loved ones for communicating with them? Do you feel the difference?Such jealousy is not an indicator of love.
And the most interesting moment for you.It's never his fault. If this person is always looking for someone to blame when problems arise and doesn't want to admit his guilt you can see who is standing in front of you.
Now that we've gotten to know the toxic people better let's put on some solid armor.
First of all, don't let this person do this to you. Don't limit your social circle to just one abuser. Don't expect him to keep his promises and don't let him stop you from doing what you want.
And the last step is to break off the relationship or keep the person at a distance.
Today we talked in detail about who abusers are and how to behave with them. And my dear friends. I appeal to you. Do not tolerate this relation and even if you love this person very much break this relation as soon as possible. Any of your emotional experiences affect your physical condition and it can lead you to death. Even if it is the husband of your children or your wife with whom you have been in a relationship for a long time. You will save not only your life but also the lives of your children.Remember that it all starts with small and it is very important to be selective about your social circle.
