The Trap
Earning any one of these titles isn't a 'once or twice affair,' these personalities reference consistence, an enduring pattern of behavior.

1. Manipulative Mary: This person is the evilest character on a soap opera, always plotting something usually putting on excessive displays of emotion to get what they want but they sure know how to be subtle and sly. They're good at finding your buttons and pushing them.

Why they are toxic: They find ways to make you do things that you don't necessarily want to do and, over time, you lose your sense of identity, your personal priorities and your ability to see the reality of the situation. The world becomes centered around their needs and their priorities.

2 Narcissistic Nancy: Have an extremely inflated sense of self-importance. Unlike Manipulative Marys NNs tend to be overt about getting their needs met. You often want to say to them "It isn't always about you."

Why they are toxic: They are solely focused on their needs, leaving yours in the dust. You are left disappointed and unfulfilled. They zap your energy by getting you to focus so much on them that you have nothing left for yourself.

3. Debbie Downers: These people can't appreciate the positive in life. If you tell them that it is a beautiful day, they will tell you about the impending dreary forecast. If you tell them you aced a mid-term, they'll tell you about how difficult the final is going to be.

Why they are toxic: They take the joy out of everything. Your rosy outlook on life continues to get squashed with negativity. Before you know it, their negativity consumes you and you start looking at things with gray colored glasses yourself. Chances are they don't appreciate you bending over backwards for them, dating you just gives them someone to consistently harp to.

4. Insincere Isaiahs: You never quite feel that these people are being sincere. You tell a funny story, they give you a polite laugh. You feel depressed and sad and they give you a 'there, there' type response. You tell them you are excited about something and you get a very ho-hum response.

Why they are toxic: People who aren't genuine build meaningless, shallow relationships on superficial criteria. When you are really in need of a friend, they won't be there. When you really need constructive criticism, they would rather tell you that you are great the way you are.

5. Disrespectful Dannys: In 2009, Disrespectful Dannys rule the world, very popular among marginalized groups, insecure or narcissistic people. They will tell you that they're "Just keepin' it real" or "Speaking their mind" or that they "Don't take no shit from nobody." This is a lie, they don't "keep it real" with themselves and if you try to they will shut you down..

These people will say or do things at the most inappropriate times and in the most inappropriate ways. In essence, they are grown up bullies. They take any and every opportunity to display their condescending wit to make others feel small and they'll do the same to you in a heartbeat. Many are smart though and know to change it up, to pretend to be a sweetheart sometimes so you overlook their "minor flaw."

Why they are toxic: These people have no sense of boundaries and don't respect your feelings or, for that matter, your privacy. These people will cause you to feel frustrated and disrespected. Dating this person often comes at the expense of friends and family, you're the only one who likes to be around them and you're a couple so.....

To be continued.....
 
guilty of being a "DeDo" and an "InIs", workin on it though.....
god...i'm fucked.... :(


but yeah, spot on FabGhetto ..|
 
Negativity and bitterness are big toxic traits that I don't care for. I catch myself being negative or complaing about my day and consciously try to stop it at once.
 
Before I date somebody I have to already want to date them, and if I already want to date them, then I already like them- and since I don't like people often- I'd just want that person to be my boyfriend and avoid the whole 'dating thing' and just do something we both enjoy together.

Dating seems like a useless middle-man step.
 
You're a few days late with this, mate. I could've used it last Saturday, when I came across a Narcissistic Nancy. (cf. my 'In What Universe' thread)

Am waiting for the next installment! ;)
