We’ve all been there—sitting across from someone and wondering, “Why is this so complicated?” Sometimes, it’s not you… it’s them. Recognizing a toxic person early can save you tons of stress, tears, and “wait… what just happened?” moments.
So, what does a healthy person look like? 🧐
-
They want to resolve issues instead of letting them fester.
-
They are honest, even when the truth is hard.
-
They’re willing to compromise and find solutions that work for both of you.
-
Their goal is the relationship, not winning an argument or proving a point.
Now let’s talk toxic behavior 🚩
-
Deflection & denial: If every problem becomes your fault, that’s a red flag.
-
Lies and twisting the truth: A toxic person will bend facts to suit their narrative.
-
Winning at all costs: Arguments are a battlefield, not a conversation.
-
No real resolution: If the same issues keep popping up with no fix in sight, that’s a clue.
The harsh reality? There is no resolution with narcissists or toxic people. You can’t argue someone into change, and trying to reason with them often backfires. The key is recognizing the red flags early and protecting your energy.
Fun but real tip: Think of it like dodging emotional potholes—your mental health is your car, and toxic people? Yeah… they’re the potholes you don’t want to hit. 🚗💨 Protect your ride.
Remember, relationships are meant to build you up, not break you down. Healthy people work with you, toxic people work against you, and your job is to recognize which is which—and take the exit if necessary.
