1:38 2) Being too independent

2:21 3) Manipulation

I'm worried about me being the toxic one in the relationship, not on purpose but I accidentally did bad and toxic things to my relationship

— @UglyGoku

3:12 4) You emerge Identities

4:09 5) Acting Selfish and making demands

As a psychologist, This video uses extreme language like "always" and "never," which can oversimplify complex behaviors. Additionally, promoting an unchanging sense of uniqueness can discourage necessary personal growth. For individuals without psychological background, these simplifications may be harmful when trying to understand relationships.

#toxic #dating #relationship

I'm actually trying to get him away from me. He isn't leaving me, he doesn't lets me have friends even if they're girls. He doesn't actively does that he plants negatives about people, keeps nagging about how I'm being with the girls and not him or maybe I'm a lesbian and omg somehow I'm always isolated with no friends left when I made friends and people actually liked me. He's mostly always angry or horny, happy is less for him. He says he's only happy when with me or when talking to me. He wants me 24×7 and I actually am a person who needs alone time. I'm also not a trans or homo phobic but he is and says he can even beat them when he encounters one but all I actually don't care what another person considers their own personal sexual preferences to be and that's none of my business, all i care about is how their personality is. We've been together for more than 4 years and I asked him to unfollow a girl who has showed vast interest in him but he hasn't ever unfollowed because apparently she was his first friend in college and it'll not look nice and somehow now I don't care if he even gets in a relationship with her, I just want him away from me. When I tell him I wanna break up and go away from him, he says I'm destroying his life and career because everything he ever wanted to do or earn has always been for me and if I'm not there in his life he'll not do anything. He even says he will do dishes, cook food and do laundry for me but idk why i don't wanna be with him even if he gives me a million dollar. There are alots of things i can mention like not having a single friend, i have zero friends and likes it and brags about this to his friends that his gf is hella loyal, which I am but wtf i feel it is toxic. I don't know how to get away from him, last month he broke up from me yelling, because i didnot give him my self made project work to copy and then i just spoke to a guy who kept texting me for so long, this toxic mf came back and cried like shit calling me 100 times a day and threatening to unalive himself. He took my phone and saw the other guy and mine chat which actually had nothing except few hi hellos and went berserk, threatening to tell my strict ahh father about how I'm having a boyfriend and i cheated on him also of beaten the guy up with whom i texted. He kept me on calls whole freaking nights indirectly calling me a playgirl. The most sad part was how I trusted him with my father's phone number and he used that against me. Somehow he turned normal and said he can forgive me because this was the first time I did something like speaking to guy (because he has done the several times). Says he wanna marry me and will keep me like a queen that I am and deserve to be. I don't understand how do i get him away. I typed so much, if somebody reads this please tell me if he is toxic or not???or am i the problem???

I am in middle school, and today at lunch someone gave me an anonymous love letter. She had some of her friends deliver it to me, and I don't know who it was. However, before I had a chance to even red it, my girlfriend took the letter, ripped it up, and threw it into the the trash can. I just feel really bad for whoever gave me that letter, and I dont think anyone deserves to be treated that way even without knowing who it was. Am I in a toxic relationship or am I overreacting?

I don't know how you could treat someone like an ass. Isn't being good easier?

In a toxic relationship, one person is often the architect of the other's reality, manipulating the landscape to keep them lost and dependent, like a traveler who can't find their way out of a dense forest because the map is being constantly rewritten

Thanks for your video. I’ve been in a relationship like this. Whenever she got upset, she’d walk away and disappear just to make me panic and chase her. Sometimes she would even talk about hurting herself if I didn’t give in. back then I thought that was “passion.” Now I see it was fear and control, not love, if you’re in that place: you’re not crazy, you’re just exhausted

I’ve been watching these to see if I was really disrespectful. This person that used to love me for 2 years had dumped me a month ago for me being “disrespectful”. I even tried supporting and being kind to him. I just wonder if I was toxic

@Alexisplayz4AJ

after watching this video and reflecting on our conversation from 2 days ago, it was clear that what we realized is that we both reflected toxic behaviours from our past trauma onto each other, and in the end it got us to feeling pressured into everything we did for each other. we solely had a romantic point of our relationship, but not the friendly side, the one that creates deeper connection and lets us be relaxed and open with each other, without only looking at it like a relationship, but just two humans who can have fun and love each other. we lacked that connection. the thing that saved us and convinced us it’s worth it to erase our whole past and start over and be together in a healthier way, is the fact that we cannot live without each other. some say love sometimes just isn’t enough. it might be true, but in my case, it saved my relationship. it takes a lot of courage and commitment to acknowledge your mistakes and toxic behavioral patterns let alone do something about them. i couldn’t leave, cause i knew nobody could ever love me like that. i am probably gonna write an update on how this huge change impacted us and hopefully have some advice to give to someone going trough the same thing. but also, i want everyone to know: you can’t expect to spend years with someone and not need a change. people change, so does your compatibility, environment, circumstances, wants, needs. you need to be ready to keep up with each other. and love isn’t about being perfect, it’s about accepting flaws, even in the middle of it when it’s the hardest, and being able to accomodate yourselves to each other and constantly choosing that person even when you don’t feel like it cause without them it would never be the same.

I've beenin a trauma bond relationship for over two and a half years. It has worn me down so much and I found out that im just the side piece. I don't know how to let him go even though he's destroyed me emotionally & financially. 😱

When I watched this, I saw myself in liking different things, but I don’t make her like them too, I let her make me go in the nature with her too. I like physical affection, and many more, in other words.. needy ig..? My gf doesn’t like talking much, and avoids me in public too. I haven’t known what to do about it since when we dated before, we didn’t know much about it, and we broke up. Then got back together, and since then we’ve been in different worlds, manipulative to me I guess

I'm trying to figure out who or how many if there was a that I don't know about was not for sure to do with that on a relationship with someone else I don't even know online in that way the thought that there was a relationship online to ever get mad and upset with me if they've never been with me offline and I've made that clear if I don't know them like that not even online in that way I just want to make that understood so somebody that I have no idea that would be thinking that there would have been online relationship to do with them that never was wasn't even discussed just because of communicating with the YouTube page that was recommended by YouTube who or how many I don't even I don't know who how many if there was as far as like just trying to get to the bottom of certain things but certain ones that would think there would be a relationship just by YouTube interacting with content and that's it like I don't know somebody named Alex or I don't know I don't want to have to keep saying certain names that I'm hoping especially anyone that is seeing someone else or messing with someone else that I don't know about didn't know about that would have to be a no on that if they were messing with another offline sleeping with another Offline that would be a definitely no not interested in that way or more out of all of a sudden wanting to communicate

Yes all of this, but i can't end it.... If i tried to keep me away she will say in the next or after sometime 'she tried or thought about sui*ide and i can't come out of it...... She's a average at first i didn't realise coz I'm blinded by the teenage love🙂💔

Do yourself a favor and have this epiphany before you fly across the country to meet your partner’s family. Such an eye opener, wish I would’ve quit the denial earlier.

I'm in one right now, it's been two days I eat less than 500 calories because they make me so sad. Honestly, I give up on dating, actually I hate dating. Either someone toxic, too possessive and crazy, desperate, too aloof, commitment issues or I'm shamed for being monogamous and manipulated into a non monogamous relationship.. I'm so fucking tired

This is an amazing video, I really needed to watch this. I’ve been stuck in the pain of losing my husband. I used to think breakups were easy, but now that my husband has left me, I feel completely broken. I can’t even eat or take care of our kids! I need him back so much. I’ve tried everything to get him back, but he doesn’t want our marriage anymore

1. Yes. He doesn’t let me have other friends.
3. He did. He used my sadness and not wanting him to leave to try and get me to be s*ual and do something i never did before.

He does everything single one of these, but I can’t let go
