Number 5. Never compromise on your personal space.
Toxic people try to stay as close to the person they’re manipulating as possible. This helps them keep a close eye on that person and lets them continuously feed that personal information that supports their narrative. Every healthy relationship is based on trust and understanding. Someone that truly loves you and cares for you would never try to control you.
If a relationship is making you feel suffocated, then it’s probably not good for you. Talk to your partner about space and how you need some breathing room. Non-toxic people have no problem with space. If someone keeps forcing you to spend time with them and disregards your mental health because they want attention, then it’s time to reevaluate what you’re doing.
Number 4. Stay away from attention seekers.
Attention-seeking people are always bad news. They want someone to focus on them and give them time, irrespective of the other person’s needs and wants. They want attention and they’re going to do whatever they can to make sure they get it. For a short while, they’re going to make you feel like the most important person in the world and the most important person in their life.
Once you’re hooked, they’re going to completely drain you of your energy and happiness as they constantly make you feel guilty about not giving them everything they ask for. You can try your best, and they’ll still manage to find some subtle flaw and drag you down. They do this so you’ll keep feeling guilty and keep giving them attention.
Try to stay away from attention-seeking people. No matter how good it feels at the start, it’s going to go downhill fast, and once it does, it gets ugly. Do everything you can to avoid that.
