I do believe we all have a chance to become toxic and we might not even notice it. Sometimes if I feel like someone is being toxic or mean to another first, then I will wanna say something about it. But that doesn't mean I don't feel like I'm completely never toxic either.
Although I strive for being pragmatic and being realistic, I do feel I lean more into some pessimism still, which can bring down the optimism a bit and that negativity, if it gets too much, can take hold and wear a brightness down. I may also have very differing opinions and views from others. Sometimes how we argue about things get heated, and that's life, because what we believe in/agree on may contrast differently from others and like it or not, we all hold bias in some ways. As such, I try to avoid really heated topics and ignore toxic stuff because toxic only makes you feel like responding back toxically (and you may not even know it) and things can get get out of hand as toxicity just breeds toxicity.
That being said, I do not believe in cussing at others just because I hold different viewpoints; to me that is toxic so I try to avoid that as best as I can. I want to be courteous as possible even if my viewpoints differ from theirs, yet also be straightforward and not be weak on standing behind the arguments and reasons I bring up on things that I really agree/disagree/somewhere in the middle on/want to point things out. I'm not perfect, I'm not the best at explaining things and as a human, I do have some bias as all humans hold some form or bias one way or another (whether like things, dislike things, etc.) so its a work-in-progress. I try to aim to be more open-minded as much as possible and understand different viewpoints to see if that can help narrow that toxicity down. So sometimes I do re-evaluate and reread or rethink if what I say or how I wrote it may come off as toxic. If it is, then I'll try say things kinder or explain it in a nicer way.
Now I'm not sure what exact levels of toxicity I am, because how I rate myself may not be how others see me as toxic, since we can either be very critical of ourselves and be our worst enemy, our we can be arrogant and not even realize it. I tend to self-criticize more, but I also know our instinct is to defend ourselves first even if we're kinda in the wrong. So if I'm starting to come off as rude or toxic, do let me know, I'll re-evaluate and check cause I don't want to offend or upset anyone erroneously without a concrete view on things.
