Toxic implies Negative
Toxic is a slang term that refers to something or someone who is harmful, damaging, or destructive. It is often used to describe a person or situation that is emotionally harmful and, in some cases, can also be harmful physically.
People who are considered toxic are usually unhappy with their own lives and their current situation. This unhappiness leads them to constantly complain, which only increases their own unhappiness.
Toxic individuals often spread false stories about others in order to make themselves feel better and to ensure they are not alone in their unhappiness. By doing so, they not only harm themselves but also those around them.
When a toxic person starts to impact the people in their life, such as their friends or colleagues, they create an unhealthy environment. This toxic environment is generally undesirable and people avoid being around it if they can.
