Nobody wants to stay close to a toxic person. However, more and more people only look for an escape once the damage has already been done. So, here is a look at 3 early signs that can help you identify a toxic person in 10 minutes and hence, help you to stay away from them before it is too late.
They Talk More than They Listen!
People with toxic habit are likely to talk more and in most cases are very bad at listening to other people. They generally behave in this fashion to seek attention and/or because of an inferiority complex or because they are yet to attain maturity. Hence, they are prone to arguing for the sake of it and engaging others in zero-sum debates.
Look to wind up your conversation in 10 minutes the next time you find this individual who has loads and loads to say yet has no patience to listen to your side of the story.

They Boast or Ridicule!
A toxic person can’t help but praise themselves early in a conversation and/or ridicule others (including family members, colleagues, friends etc.) to establish their superiority in front of you. Don’t be impressed rather understand that you are a potential target for them.
Thus, avoid making any commitments because of which you have to see them again.

Conversation Leaves You Feeling Exhausted!
Negative people have this tendency of sucking the energy out of your system the same way a vampire would suck blood. If after 10 minutes of conversation you feel tense or unhappy, there is a good possibility of this person being toxic.
Imagine how you would feel after half an hour or an hour of conversation with the concerned person. This will help you understand better why you need to be staying away from them.
