5. You’re not allowed to grow and change.
“Whenever you aim to grow and improve yourself, the other person responds with mockery and disbelief. There is no encouragement or support for your efforts. Instead, they keep you stuck in old judgments insisting that you will never be any different than you are now,” she said.
You can set yourself free.
Growth and change are part of life, yet toxic people feel threatened by this very thing — your desire for growth and self-improvement. Their negativity can easily sneak in and stifle your growth, question your desires to change, and influence your judgment.
Because they are unhealthy, they want a partner-in-crime. Don’t do it!
Learn to recognize the signs of a toxic relationship. Listen to your intuition, the “inner voice” we all have (it’s there for a reason), which often steers us in the right direction. Take the time to listen to it.
Do you find yourself questioning your decisions? Are you neglecting what’s important to you? Are you forsaking your values for another? This could be indicative of an unhealthy and toxic relationship.
Remember, being in a healthy relationship means you feel safe and at ease to be yourself. You can live your life with authenticity. Sharing your thoughts and feelings are acknowledged and embraced not ridiculed and left to make you feel uncomfortable.
At the core of a healthy relationship is open and honest communication, trust, and support.
People are not critical, able to manage their own problems, rely on one another in a productive and reciprocal way, balanced, and not defensive nor inappropriately blaming the other person.
