Surrounding yourself with good people is essential for mental well-being. The people you choose to spend time with have a profound impact on your happiness and quality of life. A user asked the forum, “What kind of people should you avoid or stay away from?”. Let’s look at the top replies from the forum.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU FEEL DRAINED
“People who make you feel drained after talking to them.”
NO SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY
“People who have no self-accountability or can “do no wrong”. They’ll ruin your life and everyone else’s life to avoid looking like a bad guy. They’ll set up people to take the fall for their own mistakes.
Surround yourself with people who you can share good news with and will take accountability for their actions. You won’t have to worry much about their honesty if they’ll come forward with their shortcomings.”
GOSSIPING PEOPLE
“If they talk bad about everyone else, they talk ill about you too. Especially the ones that seem to be super nice to these people when they’re around.”
PEOPLE WHO ARE ANGRY AT THE WORLD
“People who are always angry at the world and mean because they’re miserable.”
JEALOUS PEOPLE
“The kinds that are jealous of other’s success. The kind that constantly put other people down.”
PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF
“ANYONE who makes you feel bad about yourself.”
PEOPLE WHO DRAIN YOUR ENERGY
“People who drain you of your emotional energy. Nobody is worth sacrificing your mental health.”
PATHOLOGICAL VICTIMS
“Pathological victims, doomers. People who feel miserable all the time and resent you for being happy every now and then.”
NARCISSISTS
“Narcissists. They will drain you of every ounce of life and it will still never be enough. They’ll kill your spirit, feed off your dreams, strangle any inkling of happiness, drag you down, and make themselves the center of your universe… then scoff at you and mock you for the empty shell you’ve become, abandon you, and discard you like trash.
They move on to new suppliers to feed their ego, at least, until they, too, run out of love and attention… and if you let them, they’ll casually return in your life to wreak havoc all over again, as if nothing ever happened.
They’ll belittle, diminish and dismiss the things that make you happy, that make you you. The things that bring you joy will either mocked be to death or inaccessible to you until you give up trying altogether and everything will be a competition – everything. Basic chores? They can do it better. Finances? Childcare? They can do it better. Breathing? You can’t breathe like them, everyone is jealous of their beautiful breath.
Happiness will become a distant memory. You’ll trade joy for misery, abuse, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, blame, dismissiveness, insults and utter non-existence. You’ll demand less and less, in hopes of keeping the peace, until you simply stop asking. They’ll present you with an image of heaven just to trap you in a cycle of hell with them, forever.
Above all this, they’ll never change.”
ENTITLED PEOPLE
“Entitled people, the ones that can do no wrong and the world owes them.”
ENVIOUS FRIENDS
“Envious friends, they will never want you to be in a better position than them.”
PEOPLE WHO CAN’T STAND ANY UNHAPPINESS
“People who can’t stand any level of unhappiness.
I don’t mean they’re in a loveless marriage, or without true friends, or in dire distress.
I mean, if you go out with a group of friends, and one friend wants to go to a steakhouse, but the group decides on sushi, and they spend THE WHOLE NIGHT pouting, upset, mentioning it at every turn. The friend that can’t be uncomfortable for one moment, even if everything else is going relatively okay (ex: spending the day at an amusement park, but it’s warm out/there are long lines).
Life is not going to be comfortable all the time, and if they’re a chronic complainer, avoid it at all costs.”
LIAR
“Liar, they dim the life of your soul. Makes your life heavier.”
PEOPLE WHO MAKE MENTAL ILLNESS AS AN EXCUSE FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR
“People that use their mental illness to justify their behaviors – ESPECIALLY if they have no intention of getting better/seeking treatment.”
PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY CHECKING PHONE WHILE SPEAKING
“People who constantly are checking/responding to their phone while conversing with you.”
PEOPLE WHO HATES ANIMALS
“People who hate animals. I have pets, they’re my life. I don’t trust someone to come into my home who is anti animals for no good reason (I don’t mean being afraid of dogs because they were bitten as a kid, that’s pretty reasonable).”
