Building harmonious relationships where respect and peace reign is a difficult task that requires a lot of effort from each person.
So it's worth remembering a few phrases and actions that are toxic and can ruin a relationship.
Poisonous phrases
Such phrases include:
1. "You always..."
2. "This is typical of you..."
3. "Why don't you ever..."
4. "Maybe you should try like me..."
5. "You never understand me."
Phrases like these should definitely be excluded from your relationships, as they can lead to negative consequences.
Constant criticism without solutions
Instead of expressing their feelings and suggestions for improvement, toxic people choose criticism, which damages their partner's self-esteem and trust.
Denial of feelings
By not acknowledging the feelings and experiences of their partner, a person strengthens the wall between themselves and their partner, which leads to a further breakup.
Ignoring needs
Failure to pay attention to another person's needs and wants can lead to feelings of frustration.
Comparison with others
Comparison with someone else, especially in a negative context, hurts self-esteem and causes jealousy.
Promises that are not kept
Nothing destroys trust like broken promises. It creates a sense of inconsistency and disappointment.
Shifting responsibility
Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, toxic people often shift the blame to someone else. Sooner or later, this will lead to conflicts that cannot be resolved through dialogue.
Criticism of appearance
Criticism of appearance can cause complexes and negative attitudes towards oneself. There is simply no easier way to undermine your partner's self-esteem.
Threats
Threats pit partners against each other and create an atmosphere of fear and insecurity. For example, one partner may begin to make threats in order to gain benefits from the relationship.
No emotional support
Lack of emotional support and understanding can lead to a feeling of loneliness even in a couple. It is important to support your partner emotionally, this is the only way to achieve harmony and understanding.
