Toxic relationships happen every day and around the world, regardless of the country, level of education or age of people, and almost not knowing how, we find ourselves in a toxic relationship where we see our rights as invaded people.
The right to choose, to be ourselves, to live with integrity and happiness Why does this happen?The truth is that when we talk about love, no one has a perfect manual that offers the answer to all the questions, Falling in love is getting carried away by a series of very intense emotions, where sometimes it is very difficult to maintain the balance and perspective of what is happening.
- We know that the same person can live more than one toxic relationship throughout their lives.
- Does this mean that.
- Perhaps.
- Some people have the profile of “victim”?People who can be easily manipulated?.
The truth is, we can’t be sure, by any means. Nor is it necessary for the toxic person to focus exclusively on the ‘male role’ and the victim on the ‘female role’. The manipulator, a person who forces, regulates and mistreats, can perfectly be one of the two sexes, it is worth considering, although the number of women who end up being the center of this type of abuse is much higher than the number of men.
Therefore, it is worth knowing what steps we can take to get out of these toxic relationships, for our own sake, for our emotional health.
In your personal circle, you may know someone who is currently in a toxic love affair, you know that, but she doesn’t know it. I don’t see it and although we try to show you that what’s going on is not normal, the person in question refuses to admit it.
Why did this happen? Basically why
1. Be aware: no one can overcome a problem if they first do not recognize that there is a “barrier” in their life. And it must be noted that love is the main sale that covers our eyes. Sometimes a love is so blind and unconditional that it ends up being very difficult to recognize that the person takes away his breath, his integrity.
2. Say no to fear: fear is the main obstacle to overcome, if you have no strength, ask for help. A friend, acquaintance, family member who always supports you, or any health or social service professional.
We know clearly that each couple is a universe of their own and special. Your partner may not be violent, but you’re always afraid to think about what you’ll become when you’re alone. But sometimes loneliness is much better than being in a relationship. I like this.
3. Invest all energies in you. You’ve spent a lot of time depending on someone else, acting like a little satellite orbiting a planet that didn’t benefit you at all, it’s time to move, find your own horizon and start dreaming, dreams that are yours, yours and that we all deserve.
Getting out of a toxic relationship is possible, it requires courage and good self-esteem, but we are all able to do it. It is at your fingertips and is an opportunity to turn the door knob that will lead us to a new happiness.
