With hands held up, she candidly admits that, like many of us, she enjoys a dose of gossip and drama, as evidenced by the popularity of tabloids and gossip magazines.

“One of the first signs of being the toxic person in your life is that you’re addicted to drama and that you also strive on conflict now granted I’m going to put my hand up because I like to gossip and a little bit of drama just as much as the next person that’s why we have like tabloids and you know the gossip rag magazines and quite frankly like all of that stuff but I prefer to probably just view lightly other people’s drama than actually have it in my life because it interferes with my productivity and it interferes with where I need to go,” said Venus Williams on how to deal with toxicity.

However, what sets Williams apart is her ability to keep this inclination in check. She knows that indulging too much in drama and conflict can interfere with productivity and personal growth. This self-awareness has helped her in personal development while getting to know about basic human nature.
