Is blood really thicker than water?

When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “Blood is thicker than water.” As a child, I used to think that this meant monsters like Dracula could drink it and turn into a vampire. But as an adult, I realized she meant something else entirely: Family comes first in our lives. Unfortunately for some, that wasn’t always true for the people in their family. You may be wondering where this topic came about. I was schrolling Tiktok per usual. I decided to view the topic from different perspective. Let’s talk about Is blood really thicker than water?

Fake family.

Family is not always blood. It can also be your friends, or even your pet. Family is the people who support you and make you feel safe, loved and happy.

Negative people.

Negative people are the worst. They’re like a virus that spreads through your psyche and infects everything in its path with their toxic negativity, bringing you down with them.

They can be toxic to your mental health, physical health and relationships — not just with them but also those around you who are affected by their moods or behaviors. And if they work with you? Well, then there’s no escape from the negative vibes they emit at work!

Toxic family.

Toxic family members are a drain on your energy and emotions. They can be difficult to deal with, as they can be negative influences on you and make you feel bad about yourself. Toxic family members may also be abusive or manipulative, jealous of your success, and keen to bring you down so that they can feel better about themselves.

Dealing with a negative family member.

When dealing with a negative family member, it’s important to remember that you are not the problem. The person who is causing the drama is.

• Don’t take their negativity personally.
• Don’t get defensive or argumentative when they start talking about you in a negative way; instead, try to listen without judgment and ask them questions about what they’re saying so that you can understand where they’re coming from.
• If possible, ask someone who knows both parties (like an older sibling) what happened between them in the past that might have caused this rift between family members today–and then try not to take any sides!

A healthy relationship isn’t always blood-related, but it can be just as strong as blood relationships.

Family is not always blood-related. It can also be defined as a group of people who are connected to each other by choice, or because they’ve been together for so long that it feels like family. But even though your friends may be more than just friends, they’re still not your family–and when you have to deal with them, it’s important to remember that.

Your family relationships are unique in their own way; some might be supportive and loving while others might be toxic or negative in some way. If you’re dealing with a difficult family member right now, try these tips:

• Take care of yourself first! It’s easy to get caught up in someone else’s drama when they’re being difficult (especially if they’re close), but remember that this isn’t about them; it’s about how their behavior affects YOU–so take time out every day just for yourself! This could mean spending time doing something fun like going shopping or hanging out with friends who don’t let others’ negativity affect them either…or even just sitting quietly by yourself without any distractions until everything stops clamoring around inside your head so much!

Conclusion

So, is blood really thicker than water? It depends on whom you ask. Some people say that their “fake” family or toxic relatives are closer to them than blood relatives, while others will argue that there’s nothing like being related by blood. In the end, it’s up to each individual person what they consider family and how strong their bonds are with those people–whether they’re related by blood or not!
