We all know that person who always seems to get into trouble.

Sure, It might seem funny or saddening at first glance, but don’t be fooled. Unlucky people are more toxic than you think.

Here’s the real reason for their misfortune and why you should avoid them.

1- They Are Unreliable

First, let’s get back to basics: bad luck is a myth. 99% of the time, you are responsible for your fate.

As for those who argue that lightning doesn’t warn before striking, they are confusing direct and indirect responsibility.

Let me explain.

If you go to the roof of the tallest building in the area during a storm, you’re liable if you get hit by lightning. This is not bad luck.

Now, isn’t the simple fact of going out during a storm an avoidable risk? Yes.

In this case, you’re not directly responsible, but you still had the means to avoid it.

And you can apply this to everything.

There is always a degree of risk that could lead to misfortune. But, most consider that below a certain level, they couldn’t predict what will happen.
