How can I stop being a toxic person?

How can I stop being a toxic person?

I think I'm a toxic person, since I have been having trouble with people.... I mean they don't like me.. and I'm guessing it's me.

I'm going to be 27 in a few days and I literally have no friends.. only one, but she's married and she's always with her husband...

I have a bf but he said I'm not his friend only his girlfriend... So that don't help 😕

Im a nice person, I never insult ppl. I don't party or drink, so I'm more of a calm person. I like shopping, make up, clothes, movies, hiking, traveling, learning new things, and I love working. (No one ever cared to want a friend at work)

And I've never found a friend at places where I like going..and I just feel lonely.

...

So I don't know what's wrong with me.. if anyone can help me please.

Thank you.

    I don't like what your bf said.

    People nowadays are very superficial and disconnected. You, like me, are serious. Few people are like this any more. I look to older people for conversation and understanding.

    Honey. 🙂

    You're exactly who you were meant to be.

    Dump the boy toy. Say fvck everybody else. And do you.

    I know quite a few people who are genuine, conniving a$sholes. I respect that. Even when my head is on the chopping block from a few (Geminis).

    Why? Because you're genuinely being you. And I think every human being is perfect as they are. Flaws and all.

    Stop worrying about being nice and be YOU.

    The best advice I can give is to find like-minded people who can roll with your punches. It's the only way you can find people who can survive your friendship.

    Wouldn't have it any other way.

    Source(s): Some bxtch in high school told me I had a bad attitude. It effected me in a way to where I conformed into being this prim and proper liked robot. After years of people pleasing, I realized... I liked everyone else who was hated for being genuine a holes. Why? Because they were being themselves. True. Honest.

    Hi, I must admit I'm similar when it comes to friends but i have my husband who is like my best friend. I find it a bit sad that your boyfriend doesn't include you as a friend, but that might just be me.

    As for making friends, are you perhaps very shy or become very anxious around people, that's my problem. If so then i would suggest finding a club or an evening class that you could enjoy. That way you're around the same people at least once a week and can slowly gain the courage to talk to them.

    It doesn't even need to be huge. If you hear someone say they saw a new movie, maybe you could ask them their opinion of it and build the conversation from there. Or complement their outfit. It will help them see you're friendly and willing to interact and Want to know them but at your pace.

    If you eventually feel confidant enough you could always see if they want to meet up for drinks, or to see a movie as a group.

    Hope this helps.

    Sounds normal to me. That is roughly the age friends get married and your left with more time on your hands and that’s also the age when it’s difficult to make new friends and not just acquaintances. Had you got married before your friend she would have felt the same as you.

    Have you ever stopped to think that maybe it's not you but the people around you? You do not strike me as a toxic person
