I'm not known for my positive view of humanity, but I don't believe that's true at all. "Toxic" doesn't apply to anyone short of a true saint. It's meant for people who exhibit specific behaviors that undermine others' confidence, satisfaction, etc. If a person X who seems above average in collaborative and supportive behavior to everyone else has a single bad interaction with another person Y, does that make X toxic? Of course not. It probably means Y is toxic, and is projecting their own toxicity onto others. Who's the lazy one? Who's evading responsibility for their own outcomes? Whose character does that reflect on?
