“Girl friends” isn’t the same as “girlfriend”, and your mother does not represent all mothers.

It seems aaomidi is recounting personal experience, and from my own experience, when a person earnestly uses “toxic” to describe how other participants behave it is often an apt description.

If you are human, you’re a person with emotions. When a person describes something you might enjoy as toxic, are you able to pause and notice what you’re feeling, and then choose whether or not to act?

I did this before responding to you, in an effort to help others that struggle with this, (I do, in some contexts). If a person still chooses to respond in a dismissive manner, or worse, then perhaps they enjoy being mean to others.

From my experience I've heard the word toxic in common parlance for about eight years and its just part of a common trend for the common mind.

The same minds that gave me shit for plainly stating that light speed wasn't sexist in a 1982 class room, I'm sure.

I prefer the 'toxic avenger' style usage from the past.
