7 Signs of a Toxic Relationship

7 Signs of a Toxic Relationship from Chris Reece. I have added the comments next to the trait.

1. Chronically Angry: Any little thing will set them off

2. Passive Aggressive: covertly mean actions

3. Controlling: always wanting their own way

4. Self-Centered: Everything is about them.

5. Unforgiving: love to hold your past sins against you

6. Manipulative: claiming things that are not true about you

7. Defensiveness: Excuses or blame shifting when confronted.

I have added an 8 sign and that is gaslighting, pretending something happened a certain way when it didn't and changing the narrative.

All the narcissists I have known do all these things. I it is impossible to resolve anything, they do not bend or try to understand another person's needs. They rage or play the victim when they have been rude or mean and then blame you, they say you caused trouble by calling them out on their behavior.

These people never apologize genuinely, even their apologies are superficial to manipulate. Those who act like this with these traits cannot be trusted.

Proverbs 26:6-12

6. "One who sends a message by the hand of a fool

Chops off his own feet and drinks violence.

7 Like useless legs to one who cannot walk,

So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.

8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling,

So is one who gives honor to a fool.

9 Like a thorn that sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,

So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.

10 Like an archer who wounds everyone,

So is one who hires a fool or hires those who pass by.

11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit,

So is a fool who repeats his foolishness.

12 Do you see a person wise in his own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for him."
