I think it’s fine to identify people as toxic for you. That doesn’t mean anyone else needs to know, or that they are the source of all your problems, or that they should be used as a scapegoat. But stepping away from someone who literally has a toxic effect on your mental health can absolutely be the right move. Life is too short to hang around with people who make you feel miserable.
