Number 1: Someone who does not respect your boundaries.
Toxic people do not respect other people’s boundaries. They always try to push to get their way or get you to do something that you don’t want to do. Some may use humor or playfully mock you to downplay their selfish intentions and minimize any flashbacks, but their end goal is the same.
They want you to get rid of any boundaries that are not convenient for them. That is why Narcissists and other toxic people will ignore or do the opposite of what you have requested. Such people should not be tolerated because everybody has a right to set their limits.
We don’t have to understand it. We don’t have to agree with it. Also, we just need to respect it. Toxic people struggle with this, but it exposes their selfish nature and lack of respect for you.
Number 2: Someone who does not take accountability.
Whenever things do not go their way, it is always someone else’s fault. Or when they blatantly mess up, they refuse to admit that they made the wrong decision. Some other factor or person is still to be blamed. No matter what fails or goes wrong in their life they refuse to take accountability for the role they played.
Everything they did or said had to be right so it cannot be their fault. People like this will always look to blame someone else for their failings and bad behavior and they will always try to justify their actions no matter how bad they are.
Being close to someone like this who will throw you under the bus whenever it suits them is too risky. People like this are delusional and tend to be pathological liars. They would sacrifice anyone to save their skin.
