Why would you have toxic individuals in your life? Having such individuals in your life says a lot about you as a person, because you are the company that you keep.
It doesn't hurt to improvise your way through life. But in doing so, it requires patience, prayer, understanding and humility as your foundation. Life itself can present a plethora of unexpected challenges from one day to the next. Refusing to use those fundementals as your platform through life, lowers your ceiling to sustaining peace and happiness.
If someone says your incorrect in your assessment of them, do not respond with anger. Ask yourself this, why would someone's assessment trigger such a reaction? Just because a person makes an assessment of you that's never been said, doesn't render them incorrect. It could simply mean they see something others didn't see. Or perhaps others didn't see the need to tell you and remained silent about it. It's a plethora of ways this can go. One person assessment of you does not necessarily define you, but it can also be an accurate assessment as well. Some people just have better insight than others, think about that. Often times it can be certain terminology people do not associate themselves with that triggers an angry reaction despite it's truth.
Why would you give up something you enjoy just because a person spoke his heart and you disagreed with it? If you are incapable of allowing a person to be open with you, what exactly are you seeking? Because if deception quenches your thirst over honesty , you truly have no idea what life is all about.
