How "Toxic" Discourse Can Do More Harm Than Good

Is it time to retire the word “toxic”? The word “toxic” itself has become a buzzword – that’s even become an integral part of our channel’s vernacular. But it’s beginning to feel like the word is losing its meaning. If everything is toxic, then nothing is... You don’t have to look far online these days to find hordes of advice telling you how to cut toxic people out of your life. But the problem is that this oversimplified advice is very black and white, and at its worst conflates behavior that you may personally find annoying with genuine abuse. It also assumes all relational problems are a one-way street, and doesn’t allow for any self-examination.
