Tips: Some Advice On Ignoring Toxic Individuals

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Some tips to ignore toxic individuals at work or school for Allah's sake, as they mutter nonsensical insults whenever you pass by them despite previously advising them to quit acting obnoxious or you're avoiding unnecessary conversations with them because they are notorious for gossiping: 
1] Put your headphones on when you know you'll be walking past them while listening to Qur'an recitations, Islamic lectures or inspirational talks set to loud volume, and stubbornly withhold from giving them eye contact as much as possible. 
2] If you don't have earphones, simply continue listening to some Qur'an recitations, Islamic lectures or inspirational talks on your cellphone / android tablet set to very high volume (to mute the toxic individuals), and steadfastly avoid making eye contact with them as much as possible.  
3] Try to make your walking pace or gait as quick as possible whenever you must walk past individuals who are too toxic to talk to. By behaving as though you're in a hurry and too busy to give them any attention, while minimizing your glances at them, you are signalling the fact you have no interest whatsoever in befriending those who are toxic and unreliable. 
4] No matter what they do to seek your attention, such as purposely disregarding you while being brashly chatty around others, gladly stay away from interacting with them as much as possible. Frequently recall those instances when they acted obnoxiously and proved to you they're not trustworthy at all. 
5] Understand that forgiving people from within doesn't always necessitate reconciliation if reconciling with someone whom you can't trust only brings about trouble in both worlds. Forgive them for Allah's sake as you confidently move on, distancing yourself (to protect your faith/Imaan and overall well-being) from their unreliability, despicable lack of manners, and awful tendency to tell lies countless times.
