Toxic relationships destroy people. Only the reason is not found immediately and not always, especially when you do not want to see the root of evil in your partner.
But you need to know the signs not only to blame someone, but also to protect yourself.
Here are some signs of relationships that are now commonly referred to in society as toxic.
First sign: at first everything seems fine
At first, a strong friendship is formed, soon you don’t even notice how you start to perform some of your partner’s duties because “something went wrong” for him. At the same time, you spend your time on rest or sacrifice other plans.
And when the job is done, your work goes unnoticed.
The second sign: about attention
Attention in such relationships is present, but somehow special. When you start to evaluate the situation with a sober head - it becomes clear, but until that moment any little thing is considered an event.
In fact, such people do insignificant things. For example, a cheap postcard or a trinket, seasoned with a romantic story, are needed only so that next time you again cannot resist when your partner needs something.
The third sign: interest
These people show a very strange interest in you. They get acquainted, clarify details, but then do not pay any attention to these details.
This is because in reality, he or she is only interested in the moment of benefit extraction, that is, how useful you will be if something happens.
The fourth sign: initiative
Just watch who starts first. If you are always the one initiating meetings and making any steps to maintain the relationship first, then most likely there is something not being told to you.
What to do
At the slightest suspicion, experts are in no hurry to fulfill the requests of such people. Come up with a reason to drag out time and weigh the situation.
People who can't say "no" may need professional help. But the main thing in such a situation is to stop in time.
Earlier we talked about how to understand that your partner likes you.
