At first glance, toxic humans seem charming.
They seem perfectly harmless.
Youre the only enlightened one.
Marina Montoya
Youre the only one who was there to witness the way they behaved.
Youre the only one who has evidence they arent as sweet as they claim.
Theres a strong contrast between the way they act with you and the way they act with everyone else.
In private, theyll say the meanest things.
Theyll pick apart your worst flaws.
Theyll break your heart in half.
But in public, theyll put on another persona.
Lay on the charm.
Theyll play the part of the perfect partner.
Theyll make it seem like youre lucky to have them.
Whether they consciously realize it or not, their goal is to makeyouseem like the crazy one.
Theyll make you look crazy to everyone else.
Theyll twist stories when they recount events to their friends and families.
Theyll make it look liketheyrethe good guy.
Liketheyrethe victim in the situation.
The scariest part is, sometimes they actually believe their own lies.
They cannot fathom the thought that they might not be the greatest person.
Toxic humans are skilled with changing the narrative, making you look like the crazy one.
Theyll attempt to turn everyone against you.
Theyll give a shot to make everyone pick their side over yours.
And the worst part is, some people will buy into their act.
Theyll believe every word.
Theyll start to look at you differently.
Thats why, when youre trapped with someone toxic, you oughta start acting selfish.
you oughta stop caring what everybody else thinks.
you gotta worry about yourself.
Worry about your own happiness, your own sanity, your own escape.
Its not going to be easy.
You might get guilt tripped when you decide to leave.
Not only by your partner, but by family and friends.
But no matter how they feel about your situation, you know the truth.
You know you deserve better.
