Some people tire us, drain us of energy and annihilate our ability to react. They are true destroyers of our health and inner peace, they sicken our emotional capacity and distort our sensitivities. Step away from them and you will see the incredible improvement in your physical and emotional health.

The truth is that over time, we started to ignore many people we thought we knew, and we realized that we live subject to their demands, their conversation, their behavior and, especially, their toxic emotions.

These people do not know how to respect and consider others, and they use them as puppets of their bad character and targets of external and internal conflicts. They do not live and let live and therefore impede the personal development and growth of those around them.

“They can do this consciously or not, but it is clear that they drown and intoxicate us, make us feel vulnerable, make us angry easily or make us want to run away and leave everything.”

Obviously, although it would be more appropriate, we cannot always physically separate ourselves from these people, as they may be family or colleagues. However, whether or not you can, the important thing is to achieve emotional detachment. So, the best thing to do is to start having the strength to keep ourselves out of their capacity for action, not allowing them to influence our behavior.

How can we emotionally distance ourselves from someone who hurts us?

If you have someone in your life who is hurting you, you can play to the advantage of anticipation, because you know their reactions or intentions are predictable. Stop giving importance to what these people do and focus on the problems they are creating for you, so you will have more opportunities for growth and you will stop undermining your strength and self-esteem.

When we move away from pain, we move closer to happiness

Move away from fear and towards indifference. Don’t get hurt by trying to keep a good impression on others or thinking they always have good intentions.

They say that when someone intends to harm us, the best contempt we can do is not to give appreciation; that is, not letting them undermine our self-esteem and ignoring negative messages.

Toxic and conflicting environments have a devastating contagion capacity for our health. The more we take emotional distance from them, the better we will feel.

“Life is too short to live in anguish. So love the people who treat you well and distance yourself from those who don’t. No regrets.”
