Are you in a toxic relationship? would you know if you are? There are many signs that can tell you that you are in a toxic relationship. I'm going to go through a some of the warning signs of a toxic relationship.
1. Do they put you down? By put you down I mean do they make you feel insecure or worthless about yourself? do they make you feel depressed? Do they criticize you, and make you feel like you can't do anything right? Do they act superior towards you? This is a sign of a toxic relationship and it is not good for your mind or your physical health.
2. Do they seem hostile all the time? Are they always angry? Do you feel like you're living with a lot of stress, anxiety, and/or tension? Do you feel like you can't express yourself safely because you're scared how they will react? If this is the case then it is not a health relationship for you.
3. Does he/she fight dirty? Does he/she call you names when you fight? that is a sure sign of a toxic relationship. Trying to hurt your friends and loved ones with words is never the answer to resolving a conflict and can do so much harm to ones mental health.
4. You aren't you. Are you being yourself around this person, or do you change your likes, dislikes, and opinions around them? If you feel like you have to adjust yourself just to get along this is a sign of a toxic relationship.
5. Constantly guilt tripping you. If they are constantly guilt tripping you, always bringing up things they have done for you. If you feel like you should give into them whenever they need, and they can always make you feel guilty if you don't do something for them. This is a sign that you may need to cut the bad fruit off the tree.
All these signs can hurt you mentally and physically. Your thoughts and emotions play a key role in your physical health as well as mental, be careful and don't be afraid to disconnect from those who are toxic in your life.
