Toxic Relationships

Do not allow anyone to restrict your happiness. You need to be the master of your own happiness and celebrate what you have successfully accomplished in life.

Never look for appreciation or approval from toxic people.

A surprising aspect about such emotionally abusive individuals is that they never show this side of their self to the outside world. Most often they come across as easy going and pleasant in public.
If you ever confront them about their bad temper they may blame the outburst on you. It is always your fault that they are angry and you are the reason they scream and yell. They disown any responsibility for this behavior.

If you have given up on disagreeing or arguing with your partner as you are worried about their bad temper, it is a classic behavioral trait of the toxic person. They want to control by intimidating you. These individuals have an unpredictable temper and you are never sure what triggers the bad temper.

Stop feeling helpless, as you can still turn a bad situation around. Remember that you can always control your actions and reactions. Be honest with yourself and accept the fact that you are in a relationship with a toxic individual. When you acknowledge the fact that you are in a bad relationship you may be able to save further pain.

When you are in a toxic relationship your self-esteem plunges to new lows. The situation becomes extremely bad when you start blaming and hating yourself for everything and become overwhelmed with guilt.

Irrespective of how hard you try, you may never be able to satisfy a toxic individual. They will always find fault with whatever you do. You need to understand that everything in life is about them and it is never about you. You become so lost and confused that you forget that you have a life of your own.

Toxic individuals are:
Controlling and manipulative
Narcissistic and negative
Demanding
Extremely insecure
Abusive
Competitive and over-the-top perfectionists
Cheats and liars
Bitchy and jealous

Walking away shows courage and personal strength. Always remember that you are worth more than a toxic relationship.

We all want to feel loved, happy and safe in a relationship, but this is not always the case.
