To think it's never right to call someone "toxic"

[eyelevelgrill]

Just that really. I first heard the word about 6 years ago and dislike it just as much now as I did then.

Do you use it? What do you mean by it? Do you think it is a very strong word to use?

Face it, some people are just bad people, they are awful and so is their behaviour.

You're lucky. I hate this kind of judgmental and goading posts. Get educated.

I think the resentment and anger you feel towards certain people can feel toxic but not everyone who meets this person will have those feelings. So they are never 'TOXIC' from their own side.

Not sure how I activated this Zombie thread. Sorry!

Buthewasstillhungry, maybe you should meet my parents!

mrsRosaPimento but to protect your own mind from the toxicity of anger, hurt, rejection whatever sometimes it is appropriate to avoid said people. Maybe their actions can be toxic but their essence not e.g. when they were babies none would have described them as 'toxic' iyswim
