You and your partner should be Yin and Yang. You should be a part of each other while maintaining your sense of self. You should remain balanced in exchanging affection in your own ways. You need trust and care respectively. But you need to remember that you are not an extension of your partner, and they aren't an extension of you. You should never be the only person giving or the only person taking, or the only person telling the truth or the only person listening. Your partner is your equal, and you are theirs.
*Toxic behavior #9:* They threaten to leave the relationship often, or often tell you that you can leave the relationship if you don't see it their way on an issue. Always letting you know that you're replaceable.

Girl, I've been single my whole life yk..... GUYS, THIS MIGHT BE AN UNPOPULAR OPINION, BUT BEING SINGLE IS GOOD TOO. Nothing is wrong with being single..... Inner peace>toxic ppl
When I'm single I have this strong, independent personality that makes me feel confident and safe. Things change whenever I'm in a relationship :( I kind of become this insecure and lost person that needs a constant reassurance from the other person. I fear abandonment, I'm kind of clingy and my identity feels threatened by getting lost in my significant other.
I see it, in myself. Lack of trust, a bit too clingy, sometimes lying (mainly about past bc I feel like I ruined myself and hated myself), and false accusations. Tho I gotten better. I given my partner space, trust them more, and learnt to love myself bc it’s the sole cause of it. To anyway who’s like me, learn to love yourself and remind yourself your partner isn’t like your ex or a partner. If the trauma or your depression is extremely bad, talk to a therapist. And remember, don’t use your issues as the excuse every single time you f up. Take responsibility of your actions and learn from your mistakes. It’s hard but remember, you’re not alone. Your partner and friends can help but don’t take frustrations on them. And if you have a choice to get therapy then i suggest you get it.
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
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I've felt like I've been in a toxic relationship for a while, but was surprised to see some ways that I was contributing to the toxicity after watching this video. It's definitely bolstered my determination to look inside myself and clean up my side of the street, so to speak.
I didn't realize how my clinginess was seen as toxic. I'm slowly unlearning the toxic behaviors that have followed me through the years. This video was a huge help. There really should be a class on how to cultivate a healthy relationship.
The bad thing about toxic relationships is that once you begin to allow the little compromises, toxic people will keep exploring you and exhibiting more toxicity till it has gone full blown and out of hand. This is why it is important to always pay attention and nip toxic behaviours in the bud anytime you notice them in your relationship.
1) A lack of trust 2) Extreme clingyness 3) Avoiding responsibilities 4) Gaslighting 5) Constant lying 6) Super flakiness 7) False accusations 8) Cheating
Important caveat: this doesn’t just apply to romantic partners. These traits can take many different forms and can apply to relationships with parents, children, even friendships.
"Reaching out for help" is not that easy or simple especially when you have too much to say that triggers others so easily so you have to hold it all in.

I came to realize that my best friend was someone who I would talk to almost every day to check up on her and see how she's doing, I was being clingy and I didn't even realize it, we put our friendship on hold and we both needed the space for ourselves for now but hopefully, with enough time things can get better for the both of us to rekindle our friendship. I always love your videos for tips on how to be better for myself and others and how to recognize what needs to change within the relationships I have, thank you💙
Cheating is unacceptable. I've heard someone try to validate cheating by saying "its not my fault the relationship wasn't good enough." While that may have been true it does NOT validate cheating. Don't be a coward. End the relationship. Leaving someone will hurt them way less than having them find out you're cheating on them.
the lack of trust and clinginess sections I think should be renamed. There's a difference between genuinely not knowing whether to trust someone vs what is described, same for clinginess. Wanting to hang out with your friend, especially if you're really close, isn't "clingy", what is is constant monitoring and obsessing from the start. I say this because people HAVE thrown "you just don't trust me and are clingy" when they DELIBERATELY broke my trust and became secretive to toxically test my loyalty, and when I naturally freaked out and started checking to make sure I wasnt going crazy they threw it back in my face to make me out to be THE big problem. Videos like this need to be careful, and I know it is triggering for me. I am not untrusting or clingy for having needs. I am not lacking trust and toxic for someone breaking that trust. I am not clingy for checking if my friend was lying to me after a month of healthy breaching of the topic so we could work on it together.
watching this while single 😢
