Part One of ‘5 Toxic Relationship Signs - Sure Ways to Tell’
Are you in a toxic relationship, yet you think you're still in love? Feel unable to walk away? The first sign of a toxic relationship is they make you feel they're the only ones who will love you. They make you feel like you're lucky to be with them. Even though you don't really feel good around them.
Sometimes you bring up something, maybe you're upset about something, and they tell you how crazy you are. It's not a good thing if you are feeling unworthy of love from the person that you are with.
“It's not a healthy relationship if they bring out the worst in you.” – Colette Gallagher (05:01-05:04)
The second sign is that they laugh at you. They belittle you and make fun of you. You feel like there's something wrong with you when you're around them. They're not lifting you, not encouraging you, and not supporting you. It doesn't have to be all the time, even just once in a while is fine. But you should be with someone who compliments you. Who loves you just the way you are.

The third sign that you're in a toxic relationship is they don't accept your feelings. They're not emotionally supportive. Maybe sometimes you're with your partner, feeling great. Out of nowhere, they're mean. You have to ask yourself if that's what you want in life.
Do you always want to wonder how your partner feels about you? Or do you want someone who entirely loves and accepts you for who you are? No one is perfect, but there's a vast difference between a gentle suggestion and someone making you feel like you're wrong all the time.
“There is a way to align and be confident in yourself to have that healthy relationship that you know is possible.” – Colette Gallagher (10:03-10:13)
The fourth sign you're in a toxic relationship is they bring out the worst in you. If you're looking through their things because of trust issues, then they're not bringing out the best in you. Relationship fights are normal. But if you're being triggered all the time, that's something you need to pay attention to. Take a break, step back, and realign.
The fifth and final sign is they try to control you. This can be through manipulation. Maybe they say your friends are bad for you. Maybe they separate you from people you love. They question all of your relationships. In a relationship, you should feel free. You shouldn't feel like you have to limit yourself or control yourself because you're with somebody.
Maybe you didn't realize it was a toxic relationship. You choose to forgive and forget when something terrible happened. You must recognize that the cycle of drama and trauma needs to be broken. You think things are going to be different next time. But they're not different.
You didn't heal that part of you. The one that said you're not enough. That thinks that you're not worthy of love. The time is now. Protect yourself by recognizing toxic behaviors. There is a way to align and become confident in yourself. To have that healthy relationship that you know is possible.
