I think every person has sign of toxicity. You don't have to be narcisist or psychopath to have toxic behaviour. We all have problems and that is normal thing. The key is to be aware of it and learn to work on it to improve Yourself and be a better person. I'm glad there are people who are aware of themselves. ❤
My toxic trait is trying to solve everything and trying to fix everything right away, and not giving a person enough time to think or process. If I had a bad day, which isn’t common, my energy is off and I needed time but didn’t give a person who I love time.
It took me 58yrs to understand how I attracted toxic people. It's been an eye opener. I identified the part I was playing as well. I then forgave myself and I've moved on. I'm excited about this video and I hope younger folks see it and are able move from toxic people.
I was DEFINITELY the toxic person in the relationship and always burning Bridges I could never understand why. I made it my life mission to understand why and turns out I have autism. I started a YouTube channel to help others & channel my emotions it's really been helpful
I've realized that I was a toxic person but have worked very hard on changing my approach to life. I've never felt that because something good happened to someone that it's negative for me. It's been more about if I worked or did better good things will happen for me as well. That being said having been put down all my life and treated like a burden or that I was never good enough made me look at other people's faults to make myself feel better...never to their face but that toxic behavior was still there. I'm trying to change that and be more empathetic to the fact that idk what's going on in other's lives and have no business passing judgment because I know how hurtful that feels. It's been a long road of self discovery but it's a marathon not a sprint so I try and work on it everyday.
I come from a very traumatic childhood, and on, so I know I could use a ton of help. I've made improvements but not as much as I like. My biggest problem is availability. I can't afford the help and the help that is available to the poor is just really bad in my area Thank you for making these videos.
I really am a big part of the problem. I need to fix all this. No more blame shifting. I'm so glad I made of fool of myself. It's better than continuing on.
I love how this video gets less views because it’s so difficult to almost impossible to take accountability as being narcissistic or toxic.
I don’t want to ruin anything else good that comes into my life
I really believe that awareness is key. Neurodivergant folk do struggle with moods and this can be taken as “toxic” when they are self aware and trying their best
Availability of counseling is problematic. Takes months to get the first appointment. Then it takes months to accomplish progress. Then you have to pay for it. Testing various medications is torture. This my real life experience.
Ladies, I read a book that didn't come with bold promises but it changed more than anything else I've read. Veylarim Treatment by Sofia Amoretti stayed with me. It made me walk differently. Talk differently. I don't shrink anymore. And people notice without me saying a word.
It's unfortunate that the people who need to watch this won't. It's still most likely the person on the receiving end. I was tempted to send this to the toxic person but thought against it. They never see themselves as the bad person.
I came to search for this video because I myself is toxic. For years I’ve denied that growing up in a toxic household can cause a big impact on my life, but now as an adult that is almost 25 I’ve noticed it and I’ll like to change seriously, I’ve hurt my boyfriend constantly but he still gives me chances to chance. This is the last change he is giving me and I really do love him and don’t want to lose a caring and good man like him honestly. I’ve never been in a relationship that I’ve not been cheated on, played or hurt at the end of the day and this man keeps proving me that it’s possible. So please 🙏🏾 people pray for me and support me. I’ll keep updating this conment as my progress goes.
I wanted to work on some toxic traits I had with a therapist. But instead of helping me work through them she told me I sound mean. She did ask some helpful questions, but she often said very judgemental things and the calling me mean was the last straw. Ironically the toxic trait I wanted to work on was how judgemental I can be. Luckily I'm able to see my old therapist again and she is wonderful
It was me, for a long time. The grief and regret you feel for being that person and then finally understanding the impact you had on the other person is immense. But that just means you're headed toward healing.
“…a normal response to being around idiots.” Haha!
just ended my relationship with the guy who loves me the most, i swear he loves me but im so toxic
Thank you Dr. Marks! I was raised by toxic parents (have every one of the 10 traits listed) and it has taken me years to "undo" this early learning pattern. I have struggled with my relationships and friendships as people have often told me I'm either "mean or narcissistic" when really I am just being who I was taught to be. This video is very helpful to identify the ways I still need to change.
I think I started to show toxic behaviors in my relationship after I got a burnout. I don't really know how to let go of my anger and despair though. My partner is autistic and I took my disappointment in their lack of empathy out on them, even though I know it's not fair to expect them to do things they simply can't. Now I don't know whether to break up with whom I thought was the love of my life for both our sakes or keep trying. I know I'm not myself these past few months and I also kniw that that's no excuse.
