Unfortunately, every situation is different and I don't know how I would handle yours. The truth is, anybody who is negatively impacting your life on a regular basis needs to be removed from your life. Hi Shannon, yes it does go for family too.

I have broken ties with negative people the indirect way, and it pissed them off, they just can't stop talking about me, but now family, my aunt and cousin, are doing more harm than good. I want them out of my life immediately. I'm tired of always having that negative energy lurk around because of them. I don't want to do the direct approach because all that does is cause more issues, so is the indirect approach okay? Or how would you handle this? Does this go for family too?

A good start is to apologize and be mindful when you're being toxic. When I say apologize I mean talk to whoever you've been toxic to and straight up say "Listen, I know I've been a drag for a really long time. I'm changing that now. I want to apologize for bringing you down." And other good stuff like that. Karol Hi Alyse,

It was difficult for sure but I had to do it. I just couldn't sit back and watch him do the things to the people around him that he was doing. Great insights!
