You ever been at a place or in a situation that was so toxic that you didn’t realize it was toxic until you left?
Yea.. same.
Too many times actually. More than I care to admit lol.
I call that my Toxic Rose Colored Glasses.
I’ve also been on the giving end of Toxic.
Something that many people try to ignore, we can all be toxic.
Truth is, I don’t think it takes a bad person to be toxic. It just takes a list of habits to create that kind of environment.
For example, you can love a person so much that your whole world revolves around them until their world revolves around you. Sounds cute huh? Well wait until that person isn’t around and you gotta figure out how to have a day without them.
Codependency is , in my opinion, one of the most common toxic traits. No one is even being “toxic” with nasty actions to you but your need for their attention and presence or vice versa becomes intoxicating. You can’t live without it, well you can but you can’t. If that makes sense.
The list of toxic is long because everyone’s is different. The shit we experience is different and affects us differently.
A recent example was not realizing how crappy a situation was until I left the situation. It blew my mind because it was something I was so content with. Now, I can’t imagine going back to it. However, while I was in it, I always found a way to stay in it.
Why? Maybe because that was the only home feeling I knew.
