Relationships, both friendly and romantic, are a very important part of our lives. They are necessary so that we do not feel lonely, receive support, and experience joy. Unfortunately, some of them do not give us this, but on the contrary, destroy us. Such relationships are like a disease. If you can recognize the alarming symptoms in time, you may be able to save them, if not, you will lose them forever.
What are these symptoms? Here are the main ones:
Lack of balance. Relationships are built on reciprocity. Everyone should invest in them as much as they receive. If someone constantly makes sacrifices and compromises, and someone only accepts them, this is not a relationship, but a one-sided game.
Harsh criticism. Any relationship where one person criticizes the other too often is doomed from the start. Close people should support you in difficult times, not blame you.
Manipulation. If your loved one constantly makes you feel guilty and afraid of losing them or is offended by you for no apparent reason, think about it - why does he need all this? Perhaps he is simply manipulating you. This should not be allowed. Relationships should be built on sincerity and trust, and not with the help of emotional pressure.
Tension. Relationships should bring positive emotions. If you constantly feel anxiety, excitement or tension during communication, this is a sure sign that you have made the wrong choice. If a person is right for you, you will feel easy and free with him in any situation.
Blocking personal growth. Healthy relationships should guide you and help you flourish in all areas, while unhealthy relationships have the exact opposite effect. When there is a person nearby who inspires you, it is easier for you to cope with difficulties and move towards your goal. If your relationship is holding you back, it means that you are not getting enough support.
