7 Types of Toxic People: Relationships You Should Avoid

It is undeniable that, during our first love encounters and at the time when we are still starting a passion, the person who is with us seems to have many more qualities than defects. But when the relationship starts to get more serious, we discover characteristics that we didn’t know (and don’t like), and living together begins to seem difficult. It is often at this stage that we discover that we are relating to people who do us more harm than good.

Relationships with an addict, whatever it is, are difficult and exhausting. An addiction, as a rule, subordinates the whole life of two people and gradually begins to poison their lives. Obsession can be manifested not only through alcohol, games or drugs. People can be obsessed with many things: food, work and even sports!

How to know if you are with a person like this: an obsessed person may not be aware of his addiction, and may even go so far as to deny it in every possible way. But often, at times when the object of his attachment is unreachable, he manifests aggression and falls into despair. Pay attention to their attitudes and what they say. What is your biggest focus of attention? Do you realize that the relationship is less important than the addiction? Assess your partner’s reactions and see if you are being harmed by it.

Normally, people prone to being aggressive, both in a physical and psychological sense, hardly recognize that they are. They can be kind, sweet, and even seem fragile at first.

Many people think perfectionism is a virtue. And, in a way, it is. The constant desire to have everything under control and to fulfill tasks perfectly helps in work, studies, sports and other areas.
