I share my own experience of cutting off toxic individuals and feeling rejuvenated. It's not about making hasty decisions or labeling someone as purely evil. Instead, think of it as:
Evaluating Relationship Worth: Assess if the relationship aligns with your mental and emotional capacity. Not every conflict signifies toxicity.
Boundaries and Communication: Establish firm boundaries and maintain your stance. It's not necessary to justify your choices excessively.
