It is no secret that we should be our own main priority. However, when we enter relationships – romantic or platonic – we can easily lose sight of our own importance. This can enter extreme levels of us possibly allowing abusive and toxic behaviours in a relationship.
BGWM is providing you with examples that indicate what we like to call “I love you, but I love me more” behaviour, which can be used as preventive or reactive measures to toxicity in relationships:
1. Cancelling plans to practice self care instead.
2. Leaving a friendship or relationship as a result of feeling unmotivated and uninspired around them.
3. Refusing to participate in things that no longer serve you.
4. Quitting a job you have had for years because you feel under appreciated, underpaid, and unvalued.
5. Cutting off toxic family members for the sake of your mental health.
