We are surrounded by all types of people. While no two individuals are the same, sadly, there are way too many people that can be classified as toxic.

我們被各種各樣的人包圍著，雖然人各有不同，但是有太多的人可以被歸類為“有毒的”。?

?

?Drama Queens?

戲精。?

?

These people need to be the center of attention. They create a crisis everywhere they go. They’ll often pit one person against the other and then sit back and enjoy the show. They welcome trouble, and then make other people’s lives hell. The good thing is, these trouble makers are easy to spot, so it won’t be too hard to avoid them.?

這些人需要成為眾人關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)。他們到處制造危機(jī)。他們經(jīng)常讓一個(gè)人和另一個(gè)人開戰(zhàn)，然后坐下來欣賞表演。他們喜歡制造麻煩，然后讓別人的生活變成地獄。好在，這些麻煩制造者很容易被發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以想避免他們也不會(huì)太難。?

?

Gossipers?

八卦的人。?

?

Some people derive pleasure from other people’s misfortunes. They enjoy spreading around rumors and discussing people instead of focusing on their own issues. Everyone gets caught up in it sometimes… You see, if you listen to gossip, what tends to happen, is you end up either gossiping, or you might have negative feelings about the person who is being gossiped about.?

有些人喜歡幸災(zāi)樂禍。他們喜歡散播謠言和討論別人，而不是專注于自己的問題。幾乎每個(gè)人都會(huì)被卷入其中。如果你經(jīng)常聽流言蜚語，會(huì)發(fā)生什么事？最終你要么也開始傳播流言蜚語，要么你可能對(duì)被八卦的人有負(fù)面的感覺。

?

While it might be fun to find out about someone’s personal or professional fuck-ups, over time, it gets tiring. And remember, people around you who are eagerly talking about others, are probably going to talk about you as well, when you’re not around!

雖然了解某人的八卦信息可能很有趣，但隨著時(shí)間的推移，這會(huì)變得很無趣。記住，當(dāng)你不在的時(shí)候，你周圍那些談?wù)搫e人的人，可能也會(huì)談?wù)撃悖?/p>
