To me toxicity is more of a vibe that a person gives off that makes them unpleasant to be around and can cover a wide range of behaviours and traits. They may be whiny, aggressive, needy, cynical, arrogant e.t.c. Negativity is more the actions from this person by my reckoning like negative behaviours, negative actions e.t.c.

Toxicty is the more abstract concept while negativity is the more concerate concept to me. Like comparing helpfulness with tools. Tools are a concrete concept but relate to helpfulness in a abstract way so to speak and therefore negativity links to toxicity similarly.

In my opinion, toxic people are people who influence your wellbeing in a negative way.

Negative people aren't necessarily toxic but toxic people tend to be negative.

Where I come from you might call someone a tool but it does not mean he is helpful. ;-)
Lame jokes aside, I agree with your statement.

I think this thread played out some great examples of a toxic person making everyone else a negative person. This thread is morbidly hilarious.

Childish remarks. Why?

Toxic people? This isn't Chernobyl. This isn't Nuclear warfare. This isn't League of Legends.
