Watch out for toxic people.

Often they try to ingratiate themselves into your life very quickly, being over friendly and start by doing you favours you never asked for. They will begin by ‘bigging you up’ with exaggerated titles like ‘master’ ‘shihan’ and so on to get reflected glory. When they don’t get what they want (grades, certificates, acknowledgement and recognition for example) they start blaming you for everything that’s wrong in their life usually exaggerating or downright lying. You need to recognise these signs as soon as possible and cut them out whatever the cost.

Others are the negatives, people who are nice to your face but always complaining about you behind your back to those around you trying to change their perception of you. Call them out face to face and get them out your circle as soon as possible.

There can also be people you like or love who like and love you as well, but they’re ‘drama queens’ and spend all their time complaining about everything and everyone dragging you down with them. These are ‘psychic vampires’. You don’t want to discard them, can’t help them, but need to shield yourself from becoming like them. So need to learn the skills of psychic shielding.

Hope this helps.
