That is a tricky one to deal with isn't it? You feel paranoid, but the truth is there is danger everywhere. People are becoming much more selfish & even narcissistic. Not saying every single person is toxic of course, but there are an awful lot of 'em out there! I started forcing my thoughts to slow down when the red flags go up & thinking logically about what is happening. Why did I see the red flag? Is it simply a trigger or is this person toxic? Why do I think this person is toxic exactly? It helps when you do this, I think.
My Facebook Fan Group
I no longer have a facebook fan page. Due to wanting more privacy for my fans, I created this group. It is a safe place to discuss my work, their own battles with abuse/healing/recovery, or, well, anything they like!
Your timing is, once again, perfect! 🙂
Another big stopover I have on my road to recovery is exactly this: How to avoid seeing everything as a sign of Toxic Danger.

Well, I guess this is one of the upsides of being such an introvert; LOL!
