It’s always a no-no to toxicity because it’s just too risky to stay in a place or stay around people that are toxic to you. You should avoid toxicity in your workplace, your family, and your friends, but what if the toxic person is you?

Well, a toxic person can be anyone whose behavior adds negativity to your life or even someone whose actions can harm you. In some cases, toxic people are dealing with their own personal stresses and traumas, and in order to do this, they begin to act in certain ways that don't present them well.

This kind of behavior usually upsets others along the way, but it’s quite funny how some of these toxic things are now becoming normal in today’s society. Yes, talk about all the bad dating advice that exists out there, or is it people who fail to correct the wrongdoings of their kids or animals on time just because they feel it’s cute or whatnot.

Okay, what about those in the workplace who preach against bullying but are the actual bullies themselves or is it the double standards that so many people are exhibiting?

The list can go on and on... But a certain Redditor has asked the r/AskReddit community to list these toxic things that are fast becoming accepted.
