Some people have a special influence on us. They are the most unpredictable, mysterious and give us palpitations. But there are other people as well.

These people bring poison into your life even if you only communicate with them. To live your life in the best possible way, you only need to have good people around you.

You must avoid those people who can make your life a pain. Strong people understand what influence they have on each other, so they choose their entourage carefully.

Strong people are not invincible: they too can be hurt and offended if you know their weaknesses. The trick is that these people do their best to get the toxic people out of their entourage.

Here are some types of toxic people:

1. The ones that are obsessed with how they look. People who are always in a hurry to look good to compensate for something and to prove their worth. Unfortunately for them, you know the price.

Demonstrating something and trying to arouse the envy of those around you is a waste of time. People who behave like that don't deserve to be part of your entourage.

2. Fools. I'm not talking about cases when people are so stupid that you have no chance of getting them on the right track. Here I am talking about fools who have too much ego, bravery, and self-pride.

Most of us know at least two or three like-minded people who behave irrationally, who are constantly making the wrong decisions, without learning from their own mistakes. And that can go on for life.

3. Leeches. In adulthood, each of us has one or more friends who never refuse to serve him or her. When a black line appears in your friends' lives, there's nothing better than helping them. But this becomes a problem when that person is satisfied with the difficult period and does nothing to change his situation.

4. The lazy. Laziness is an extremely contagious disease. Lazy people make others lazy. The more time you spend in their company, the less you manage to move on.

5. Those who live, saying that "life is one." Understanding that we live only once, we are motivated to live life intensely and interestingly. It is important to understand correctly the expression: "we live only once".

The one who believes that "living only once" means that "you can live life in vain, do stupid things, and then probably die in the process." NOT! Living only once means doing really important things because you only have one chance!

6. Gossipers. Those who waste most of their time have little time left to do anything. Morally healthy people do not like other people who speak in one, believing that the result of their work speaks of their personality. The talkers have nothing but empty words.

7. Eternally depressed. It is not about people who have a chemical disorder in their brain and have depression as a diagnosis. We are talking about people who behave as if their lives were depressed. They feel bad, they complain about how hard their life is and how miserable they are.

But luck is not a lifelong consequence. If your life is bad, then it's all your fault. Don't surround yourself with people like that.

8. Those who do not want to leave their comfort zone. If we want to spend our lives interesting and fun, then we must avoid those people who do not want to go out of their comfort zone and change something. The people around us have a greater influence on us than we could have imagined. If you want to get out of your comfort zone for good, don't waste your time with those who don't want to follow your example.

9. Those who cannot dream. Those who can't dream don't live. Our life consists in believing that everything will be fine: not just for us, for everyone. That makes people dream and want change for the better.

Those who cannot dream will not let you dream either.

10. Those who do not believe. They are worse than those who have no dreams. Those who do not believe in their strength have no value.

They are unlucky people who do not influence the world and circumstances. They live in an extremely depressed atmosphere, where nothing depends on them. They let themselves be swept away and do nothing to succeed.
