Thankfully we have some consistent people who balance out that stuff in my opinion, at least in the group that I spend time on.
This is the thing of it is, isn't it? "at least in the groups I am in" - most of the toxic types spend their time together and make themselves feel relevant. Emotional circlejerking :D
The HP sneaks up I think. I remember some current orca accounts when they started and they asked me for advice. The advice hasn't changed.
Yeah thankfully they tend to wallow in their own misery, much like people do in real life lol. I'd rather be happy and have friends, thanks!
Engagement is key, I think! Consistency is important but without engagement you can be as consistent as you want to an empty room.
