Good friends and family are some of the best things in existence.
They make you happy just by being around.
On the flip side, there are poisonous people.
They are the kind of people that have a way of turning the mood sour. They make you doubt yourself.
Now, people close to you will give you a bad time every now and then (there's a reason "fight like an old married couple" is a phrase). But poisonous people have a way of darkening your day consistently.
Maybe they're jealous of your creativity.
Similar to poisonous people, although not as openly hurtful, are crazy-makers.
Crazy-makers make everything far more complicated than it should be.
They don't follow rules or schedules. They pretend like they care about your schedule, but they derail you from it anyway.
They expect special treatment. They waste your time and your money. They create drama, and blame others for their mistakes instead of actually trying to fix them.
Whether a person is poisonous or a crazy-maker, it's probably to your benefit to avoid their company as much as possible.
But it can be hard to understand if a relationship is poisonous or insane. If you suspect that's the case and you don't know what to do about it, try to get help.
When we're surrounded by good people, we can accomplish great things.
