Toxic people use pity, as another form of manipulation. Making their victims feel bad for finally standing up for themselves. Toxic people use this to regain their control over you. 

Dealing with toxic people is something we all have to confront in our lives from time to time. These individuals creating drama and chaos in order to manipulate others to suit their needs. But, you don't have let them ruin your life and hinder your progress!
