Do you think toxic people have some kind of alert system to know when to show back up in your life when things start going good? I do.

    Yes, I think that toxic person more often than not was myself. But I did have a 'friend' one time who always seemed to make her appearance just when I had a bit of cash surplus and she just happened to be needy.
    And, o' course I am the kind of person who cannot say 'no' .. dammit.

    I’ve gotten pretty good at saying no Or just ignoring toxic people when they try and show back up in my life.

    No.  People are in your life if you allow them to be.

  • That's what they do.  Their ankle bracelet lets them know whenever you're truly feeling happy so they can reliably remind you that their existence will forever be a part of your reality.

    if you’re nice to me I might let you leave the shed and come inside the mountain cabin for showers and TV time. This post was edited by Jaimie at September 4, 2020 12:31 PM MDT

    Maybe. But even if they do, you can choose not to let them in. 

    I think it's more often that they show up when things aren't really going so good, and they figure they can sneak their way back in. In that case, see same response as above.

    Good point, either way it’s time to lock all your doors,  stop, drop and roll.
