Life is meeting people from all walks of life. Some add to your happiness, and others to your heartbreak. 

Despite being completely aware about those we should surround ourselves with, and those we should stay away from, sometimes emotions do get the best of us. What is control, when it's matters of the heart right?

Wrong. Whether it's friendship or romance, toxic relationships and toxic people in general, should be sent out the door. That being said, here are the 4 types of people you should stay away from. 

#1 Lie to you

Anyone who cannot be upfront with you and needs to lie their way to get things across, is someone not worth spending your time on. You deserve honesty, in the rawest sense, everyday. Don't forget it. 

#2 Disrespect you

Someone who loves you, is not someone who disrespects you. Respecting someone, is the purest forms of love. If they disrespect in any way, how it be love?

#3 Use you

We usually use people more than we realize. However, using someone for your own benefit, may seem like its no big deal. But, that isn't the healthy way to a relationship or a friendship. 

#4 Put you down

Last but not least, someone who makes you feel so much lesser than you are. The opinions of others, whether we like it or not, shapes the way we see ourselves. If someone is putting you down, when they should be lifting you up, that's your cue to go. 

Of course, leaving is always easier said than done. But, leaving is also the hardest step, before everything else after. Be bold, and love yourself enough to do what you must.
