30.05.2024 07:28
Typically, people believe that toxic relationships arise when communicating with colleagues, significant others, relatives, or just random people.
We hasten to disappoint you, because you can end up in a toxic relationship with yourself. But this is not about a split personality, rather about excessive self-criticism.
According to observations, this circumstance demotivates, takes away strength and energy and every time returns to the mistakes made and failures of the past.
Let's find out whether it is possible to get out of this difficult situation and what needs to be done for this.
Examples of self-criticism
People who are in a toxic relationship with themselves are ready not only to tear their hair out, but to destroy themselves for the mistake they made.
In this case, self-criticism no longer moves a person towards the ideal, but destroys, eats him from the inside, and the victim of self-criticism begins to hate himself.
This case may end not so innocently. Experts guarantee depression, anxiety or a set of some phobias.
How to get out of the situation
Remember the old adage about saving a drowning person and start taking care of yourself as you would take care of your child.
First of all, you need to have some indulgence and respect for yourself, so as not to waste your strength and energy on swearing and insulting yourself.
Instead, tell yourself something like, "He who does nothing makes no mistakes" or "It is not fatal."
The main thing is to understand that there is no point in scolding and reproaching yourself, as this will end in a decline in strength and loss of interest in life.
