They say that abusers, narcissists and other toxic people, at first glance, seem kind and sympathetic.

But all their poisoned insides are revealed after the victim realizes that their efforts and time were wasted.

The worst thing is that sometimes after such relationships people withdraw into themselves and do not want to build new relationships. The following 5 tips will help you get out of the impasse.

First, evaluate what happened.

The main thing is to understand how and where the mistake was made. Draw conclusions so as not to become a victim of a toxic partner again.

Secondly, drive away illusions

Don't try to take the blame after breaking up with a narcissist or abuser. Even if it starts to seem like the problem is you and not your ex, don't make excuses for them or try to fix a broken cup.

Third, don't give in to emotions.

It's not easy for someone who just got out of a relationship, even if it wasn't the healthiest one, to stay optimistic. But you need to bet on self-confidence.

Fourth, landmarks

Collect all the negative traits of your ex-partner, outline the boundaries that he/she violated. This will be useful when creating a new relationship.

Fifth, take it to the next level

Feel free to embrace a past mistake as a learning experience that will help you move to the next level, and focus on the relationship that is going forward.
