Is it toxic to write people off as toxic, like they are born with a certain condition and can't ever change?

Toxic person here doesn't mean that his character is bad, toxic person is someone who's not the right person for you to be surrounded with.

Ofcourse, I agree with what you're saying but not everyone are meant for you right. 'Toxic' as in someone gaslighting YOU, triggering YOU, betraying YOU, poking on YOUR weakness but sometimes when you give more importance to that person you can't see through the mask and recollect all the good times, try to mend ways & eventually you'll lose yourself in this journey. To know yourself better/to get out of the loop of negativity, you need to distance yourself from these people (not toxic by character but toxic for you).

No. You can refine, distill, adulterate poison into something useful or beneficial. Might even be potable.

Being "toxic" is a choice. It is something you can change about yourself. But once you wrong someone, you've broken something between the two of you, and it should be understandable that they need some convincing to come around to the notion that you're not the same person who did that to them.
