Have you been trying very hard to be happy and still things do not seem just right? Do you feel that whenever you try to be happy, for some reason or the other you again end up being upset or worried about something? There may be people around you who are toxic, and are responsible for this. Without you even realizing, they are spreading negativity in and around you, and your life is strongly getting affected by it. Here are 7 types of people who endanger your chance to be happy:
1. People who have an extremely low self esteem
They will try to bring you down to their level even if you are confident. They want you to realize that the feeling of low esteem is not great and you must experience it too. If you are doing great, they will try and remind you of all negative aspects which you should anticipate.
2. People who are very finicky and fastidious
Such people will never be happy with anything. It is because they are always seeking perfection. So whether you are happy or not, they will continuously complain about things just not being right because of their fussy nature.
3. People who are surrounded by negative or toxic people
These people are bound to become negative themselves. Even involuntarily, they will spread negativity. They tend to pick up the habits of the negative people around them. They then keep spreading negative thoughts, anxiety, worry around you, and will continue to fret till you stop showing signs of being an optimist.
4. People not living in the present
Such are the ones who are neither happy nor can they see anyone else happy. They will constantly remind you of your past mistakes and misfortunes and will make you anxious about the future. They can never enjoy the present, because their present is always occupied by worrying about the future which is anyway uncertain. These people will whine about past misfortunes about which nothing can now be done. They can never see anyone enjoying the present.
5. People who are constantly comparing their own lives with that of others
They are the ones that will keep you from being happy. They will compare everything you do, say or have with others and will keep cajoling you until you begin to feel bad about yourself.
6. Self-centered people will never let you be happy.
They think that the world revolves around them and you have no right to be happy on your own. If there is something that they are not happy about, they will convince you that you should feel bad too. They do not consider your reason to be happy and are always obsessed with themselves.
7. People who lead a complicated life
Such people take too much stress and worry to an extent that their tension trickles down to your life too and endangers your chance to be happy. They cannot lead a simple lifestyle and so even when there is nothing to be worried about, they will take tension, fret and will make you think how unfair life is, even when nothing has happened.
The people who endanger your chance to be happy are the ones you should avoid because trying to change their attitude towards life is mostly futile. But it may not always be possible, so identify the above 7 kinds of people in your life and let them not affect your life.
