This is a questions I have always tried to answer to myself. The first thing I have ever noticed when I was in a toxics relationship was when I lived more in the past than in the present. When I had not had the feeling that I my partner was supportive and I had to deal with everything alone. I think deep in your heart you will feel when something is wrong.

One of the largest signs of this is isolation. A partner may isolate you from friends or family. If you do choose to visit with friends or family, they may "punish" you by not speaking to you, refusing to follow through on plans they made with you, or dealing with you in a angry manner while not explaining their frustration

You know you are in a toxic relationship when you are being controlled, threatened, physically hurt or emotionally hurt. If you are in a relationship, and you start to wonder if it is toxic, there's a good chance it is.

A toxic relationship usually shows off signs of some kind of abuse. It might not be physical, it could just be little things making you feel guilty, uncomfortable. Basically mental abuse. For many people, it is easily recognisable but for some, it might be covered up by feelings towards the individual. If you do have any doubts try talking to someone close to you who knows you and your partner well and can unbiasedly tell you their opinion on the situation. Furthermore you can come here and talk to one of our listeners.

if the relationship is draining me up.it is not letting me achieve or do what i want, or is hindering my progress. you know you are in a toxic relationship when the focus is never on you it is on the other person who is very demanding. you feel like you are in a prison . and there is only negativity . you feel like you are trapped and there is no end to it.

first i would like to define the word toxic which means poisonous, unpleasant and capable of causing death or illness to the body, therefore if you are in a toxic relationship you it would be an unpleasant experience. it would be stagnant without any potential of moving to the next level, you would be in a loop, it would sap out your whole energy, you would be constantly anxious and just plain unhappy

There are numerous signs. But the most important of them is how you feel when you are with them. If you feel disrespected, unheard, disregarded, mentally, emotionally, and physically drained, then chances are you are in a toxic relationship.

My advice is to google the signs of a toxic/unhealthy relationship and processed with an evaluation on your own.

. They twist your words and use them against you. 2. They’re mean – but then they say that you misunderstood them. 3. They make you feel guilty for saying, no. 4. They act cold towards you if you don’t do what they want. 5. You never feel as if you meet their expectations. 6. You feel as if you’re walking on eggshells all the time. 7. You feel very confused by the relationship. 8. You constantly feel anxious about the relationship. 9. It causes you to question your own sanity.

It's hard to say exactly, but there are some red flags. One is if you doubt your own feelings. Do you often feel too sensitive or jealous? Another is if you often leave conversations or events with them feeling confused or upset or unhappy. One more is if you often find yourself doubting their sincerity. The only sure answer is if YOU feel like you are being mistreated. If you have a gut feeling or have assessed your feelings enough, maybe it's best to follow those feelings.
