"Do you have any? Mine is thinking anyone who doesn’t fancy me is blind or only attracted to women "

Mine is causing an argument for no reason. Eg the mrs will ask if I want something from Deliveroo, I’ll say no, then when it arrives I’ll ask why she didn’t get me anything. I don’t know why I do it, other than the fact I am a horrible person

Toxic is too strong a word.

I can be very stubborn. In certain situations it's proved advantageous. In others it just makes me a pain in the hoop.

Ha, when people agree with you you’re strong/decisive/know your own mind, when they don’t, you’re an expletive. Often comes down to if you’re making a decision for indecisive people or going against the grain

I was in the military .. a hard life both of us. My toxic trait is I have 0 empathy for certain things when I witnessed something that is appalling according to Western values. My brain goes you don't understand and you have it so much better than others.

Cuts both ways doesn't it, as long as those around you know it's not simple minded heels in the ground I'm not doing it behaviour, but more so just the wiring of you, it helps.

It's a difficult one though, always trying to knock off the rough edges and make it more palatable. But a brick with slightly smoother corners, is still a brick haha.

"I'm so self-critical it's toxic"

Ah yeah, that lush chestnut. I found CBT techniques quite helpful, kind of accept the stupid self loathing, let it wash over you, acknowledge, process, then fight back against it with logic and kindness.

Sounds a bit woo woo I know, but eventually it's habit forming and the neural pathways for the negativity reduces and the positive increases.

Two things here. One, people don't like being told that their problems could be worse, especially if you give them examples of those with worse problems. They don't care about others problems, only theirs for the most part. Two, military, ems, police etc. see so much human suffering that you have to harden yourself to it to an extent or you couldn't deal with it. I don't think that's toxic but I understand how you feel it appears to others who never experience such things, and simply can't relate to it.

It's no silver bullet, that's for sure, but, a tool in the box that's useful when combined with other strategies.

There's no simple prescriptive strategy, it's a journey of picking up bit's and pieces as you go. Difference being, when rocked, you know the feeling, the pitfalls, outcomes and pathways. That does have value, compared to someone that's never had an issue, because when they do, it can be such a shock it's destabilising in the extreme.

So take solace in the past failures and difficulties, that's learning, experience and insight to help future you and possibly someone else.

In my next Ted Talk, why writing off cars has value, you learn about braking distances, lift off oversteer and changing conditions affecting grip. Also, how you prop up body shops, repair technicians and the insurance industry.

I wouldn't say I'm desensitised but having worked in an environment where I've seen genuine suffering, I've limited empathy or sympathy for people who moan but do fuck all to improve their situation.

Lack of patience and having maybe too high of expectations of people. It probably makes them feel small and not good enough which I shouldn't be the cause of and could do being a bit more encouraging for what they are good at.

Toxic traits. I mentioned mine question is do feel more comfortable around other people with the understanding of your traits? We had a cookout with a bunch of vet friends and it was a huge epiphany. I try and be more empathetic twords others. Yet my social circle understands my plight and struggles. How do you differentiate?

"I can't forget any negative comments that are made to me by people who mean something to me and I keep repeating these things to myself. I don't take compliments seriously, I always think there's a hidden agenda."

This is me too. I never believe that people are talking to me or spending time with me because they like me - it must be out of politeness or because they want something from me. It means I frequently decline invitations or refuse to make plans because I don't believe they're genuine, which makes me come across as aloof and snobby. I can't accept compliments either, yet I remember every nasty thing that's ever been said to or about me.

I would guess that's generally when you are actually dealing with stuff though. Later, when you are alone and recount it in the quiet hours, you may feel differently?

"Toxic is too strong a word.

I can be very stubborn. In certain situations it's proved advantageous. In others it just makes me a pain in the hoop.

Ha, when people agree with you you’re strong/decisive/know your own mind, when they don’t, you’re an expletive. Often comes down to if you’re making a decision for indecisive people or going against the grain

I was in the military .. a hard life both of us. My toxic trait is I have 0 empathy for certain things when I witnessed something that is appalling according to Western values. My brain goes you don't understand and you have it so much better than others.

I totally get this. Not on the same scale as the military but working in the police, I have been know to be very cold/ desensitised towards thinks that others find upsetting

Totally relate as an ex AED nurse now district nurse.

I would guess that's generally when you are actually dealing with stuff though. Later, when you are alone and recount it in the quiet hours, you may feel differently?"

Our coping mechanisms is totally different from the general public. Dark humor comes into play.

Absolutely, and it's difficult for others to understand. Probably why we feel isolated when we leave.

it's strange and upsetting. You try to be what is the social normal. Yet you cannot express the things that gives you comfort.

I’m an over thinker, but I think the main thing is that I’ve been accused of being too cold. I’m not a particularly emotional person when it comes to relationships, I’m more pragmatic, and when I detach it’s hard to lower the barrier again. It’s a protective measure that I’ve found keeps my head and my heart safe, as I don’t trust easily, but it’s also led to people thinking I don’t care or I’m cold, and that has hurt others.

It’s not that I don’t feel the same sense of loss, or fear, but I can’t let it get in the way of the practical side of life x which I guess is a toxic trait.

I was a nurse for many years, and at first everything distressed me, made me feel inadequate as I couldn’t cope like the more experienced nurses and got too emotionally involved. As time went on I realised it wasn’t that they were hardened to death or suffering, it was that they had learned to cope with it by humour, being pragmatic, and compartmentalising, so that they could maintain their professionalism, but they never stopped caring.

It certainly helped me cope with all of life’s curveballs x

Another toxic trait I have is I think if I had to go one on one against Tom hardy for a woman I’d come out victorious because she’ll choose my looks, wit and charm.

Toxic is a strong word. I don’t have any toxic traits. I’m stubborn, sarcastic, very pragmatic and perhaps a little too blunt sometimes

I’m a fucking delight deep down though.

I have trust issues but they’re not toxic, they’re a result of being lied to.

Because Tom Hardy has no noticeable looks, wit or charm?

"Do you have any? Mine is thinking anyone who doesn’t fancy me is blind or only attracted to women

Mine is causing an argument for no reason. Eg the mrs will ask if I want something from Deliveroo, I’ll say no, then when it arrives I’ll ask why she didn’t get me anything. I don’t know why I do it, other than the fact I am a horrible person

Nice lol

Indeed. Not something I’m proud of but the question was asked…

A good argument never hurt anyone

Maybe not but petty arguments just for the sake of it…no bueno. The worst thing is I know I am being a dick, but for some reason I carry on. "

Being brutally honest: I had a girlfriend who used to do that. Dumped her as I couldn’t be dealing with the stress and the stupid arguments. One of my life choices is not to be around people who behave like that.

This is why it’s toxic. I feel I bring more to the table in every area of life for a lady
