Our lives are full of different types of people; some great, some not so great. We for some stupid reason pay a lot more attention to the terrible people. If you’re out with a group of friends and one says you look cute and one says that the top you’re wearing doesn’t suit you. You’re not going to be wearing that top again. I know this is a small example but you get what I mean. Below are ten types of people that we really need to leave behind to become a better us.
People who are nice to your face, but mean behind your back. There’s no absolute way of getting rid of these people but you can stop playing their game. As an adult, that means being pleasant, not engaging in drama and perhaps pretending they don’t actually exist.
Judgemental people who can’t stand being judged. These people don’t want to be like everyone else, and they don’t want to be judged for it. However, they then go and judge others for not conforming to also being different. Like, if you want to be unique, that’s great but don’t go and hate on people for being basic if you don’t want them to judge you for being extra.
Negative, angry people who complain about their situation but never do anything about it. Hate your job? Apply for a new one. Not thrilled with your friends? Go meet different people. Unhappy with your relationship? End it. I absolutely hate hearing people complain about things, but never do anything to change their situations. Don’t let someone else’s negativity make you believe otherwise.
Anyone who doubts you. If you have a dream, don’t let anyone tell you it can’t happen. Instead of focusing on ‘proving these people wrong,’ just remove them from your life. You should only surround yourself with people who believe in you.
People who are too cliquey. Cliques are for when you’re in school. Honestly if you know people that are in cliques just get them out your life now because you know they’re not actually grown up and they’ll be so hard to introduced to new friends without your friends feeling like they’re being judged.
People who whine. The only “whine” you should be dealing with is the one that comes in a bottle… or box. I’m not judging.
People who don’t reciprocate whatever you’re giving.If someone isn’t giving you back what you’re giving them—love, free food, friendship, even a text message—say goodbye to these people. You don’t deserve to be the one always making the first move. You don’t deserve to be the one always spending money. You don’t deserve to be the one always cooking dinner. End your one-sided relationships. Relationships between people are a two-way street.
Suck ups who you can tell are being fake.Instead of wondering how so-and-so got promoted, let’s shine the light off them and focus on ourselves. Instead of feeling like so-and-so is being a little *TOO* nice, let’s accept that this person is actually being fake. No one is *that* nice. As humans we all have the ability to see through the nonsense. Take advantage of it.
Anyone who is holding you back.Whether its a friend, family member, significant other or co-worker; if you feel like you’ve been stuck in the same place with someone forever, you need to ask yourself: are they holding you back? Are they keeping you from advancing in your career? Are they keeping you from getting your finances together? Are they keeping you from growing up? Life is going to keep moving whether you like it or not, so it’s time to stop letting anything or anyone hold you back.
People that don’t respect you. Read this as if clapping emojis were in between each word: You don’t need anyone in your life who doesn’t respect you.
