We all come to a moment in life when we realize that it's time to cut ties with someone that we once loved. It can come down to a realization that the person isn't so great, or it can simply come down to a change in direction. Sometimes, though, we realize that someone in our lives is just downright toxic. While everyone has a rough patch here and there, the relationships in our lives — be they romantic, friendly or otherwise — should add to it in positive and meaningful ways. Not all of them are, though, and despite our best efforts we will occasionally find ourselves entangled with someone who takes from our experience more than they add to it.

While the dramatics might be fun for school kids and reality stars, it's toxic when it comes to living a life fulfilled. Drama is a distraction — and a poor one at that — which causes us to lose focus of the people and goals that give our existence meaning. Negative people suck all the positivity out of our lives and the longer we allow them to dwell in our orbit, the more they take.
