What are the characteristics of a toxic person?

A toxic person is someone who makes others feel sad or confused because they don’t treat people kindly.

Toxic people often act like a broken toy, when you play with them, they might seem fun at first, but then they start making noise or falling apart in strange ways. It’s hard to enjoy the game anymore.

How They Make Others Feel

  • They take more than they give, Like if you share your juice with a friend, but they don’t return the favor and even take your candy without asking.
  • They say mean things, Sometimes they whisper lies in other people’s ears or laugh at them when they’re trying to be brave.
  • They make others feel small, It’s like being pushed out of the way on a swing, you can’t go as high, and it feels unfair.

How They Affect Others

Toxic people are like a storm in a room. When they come in, everything gets messy, toys get thrown around, and no one wants to play anymore. But once they leave, things might start getting better again.
