#ToxicBehavior

[bercintalewatkata]

Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behavior but never discuss their disrespect that triggered you

Manipulation can be hard to spot, but here’s a sign: if someone constantly blames you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but never acknowledges the disrespect that triggered you, they’re manipulating you. ✩₊˚.

They twist the situation to make you feel guilty and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. It’s not your fault for reacting to mistreatment. Healthy relationships involve mutual respect and accountability, not shifting the blame. If someone always turns the focus on how you reacted instead of addressing what they did to cause it, that’s a red flag. ⋆☾⋆

“Ya Allah, aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari sifat gelisah (pesimis), sedih, malas, kikir, pengecut, terlilit hutang, dan keganasan orang lain." 🤲 -Diriwayatkan oleh Anas r.a-

Trust your feelings and recognize when you’re being manipulated. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, not made to feel like your reactions are the problem. Always stand up for your worth and don’t let anyone convince you that their bad behavior is your fault.⁺₊✧

To make a situation about you when it didn't involve you, but now it involves you because you caused it, is insane... I am so exhausted.

Signs You’re the Toxic One

So you clicked on this post assuming it would be about your ex, your annoying friend, or perhaps your louder-than-normal boss. But let's get real, there was a little voice saying, "Wait… am I the one?" Initially, kudos to the guts. Most individuals never even entertain the thought. But if you're gutsy enough to read it, you might be bold enough to learn from it.

Let's analyze some of the usual signs that you may be the toxic one, and, most importantly, what you can do something about.

You Always Have to Be the Star

If life is like a movie with you as the lead and the rest of humanity as just background noise, it's time to wake up. Do you feel upset when someone establishes boundaries, discusses their own story, or has the audacity not to put you first? That ain't confidence, that's emotional entitlement. Assuming the world centers around you prevents you from seeing others clearly, from even being able to connect with them at all.

How to make the switch: Begin to realize that everybody's the star of their own show. Your needs are important, but theirs are too. Try listening instead of speaking. It's surprisingly embarrassing and liberating.

Your Apologies Suck

Let's discuss your "apologies." If they read like, "I'm sorry you feel that way" or "I guess I was wrong, but you're too sensitive," you're not sorry — you're avoiding responsibility. True apologies take ownership, empathy, and a desire to alter your behavior. If you're more committed to stopping the discussion than to making amends, you're not mending anything; you're just throwing gasoline on the fire.

What to do: Go ahead and say, "I hurt you, and I get it. I'm sorry. I'm trying to do better." It's not weak, it's evolution.

You Keep Score (And Weaponize It)

If you always bring up what other people did wrong, even things that happened months or years before, just to win an argument or to excuse your own actions, that's emotional blackmail. There are no ledgers and receipts in healthy relationships. Keeping score is poisonous because it makes every fight a competition, not a conversation.

How to grow: Learn to let go. Work out conflicts when they occur rather than storing up anger for the ideal moment to lash out.

You Make Everything About You

Someone confides they're having a tough time, and you reply, "Yeah, I know what you mean. That happened to me, too. let me tell you about it." If every discussion somehow comes around to you, you're emotionally hijacking. People want to be able to share and be heard, not be used as a stepping stone for your anecdote.

Try this instead: Ask questions. Stay present. Give others the stage sometimes. It builds trust and earns respect.

You’re Always “Just Being Honest”

If your honesty routinely hurts people, and your defense is, “Well, I’m just being real,” you’re not being honest, you’re being cruel with a shield. There’s a difference between truth and tactlessness. Honesty without compassion isn’t a virtue, it’s a weapon.

Upgrade your communication: You can be honest and kind. Learn to speak hard things softly.

You Never Examine Your Behavior

If you're always blaming others, ghosting individuals after a fight, or calling everyone else "toxic" except yourself, then you're avoiding the mirror. Growth begins with self-examination. If you never ask yourself questions about your own behaviors, you're not changing; you're avoiding.

Time to get real: Ask yourself, what was my role in this? That one question might shift everything.

Finally, Being Toxic Doesn't Make You a Monster

We all possess toxic tendencies. That doesn't imply that we're messed up beyond redemption; it implies that we're human. The distinction is what we do after we know them. Progress isn't perfection, it's evolution. If you're reading this and wincing a bit. good. That squirm? That's your cue. You're already on your way.

How to Spot Fake People: 15 Red Flags

We all encounter people who seem friendly and charming at first, but something feels off. Fake people can be difficult to detect at first glance, but their true nature eventually reveals itself. Whether they’re social climbers, manipulators, or simply disingenuous, spotting fake individuals can help you protect yourself from toxicity and disappointment. Here are 15 telltale signs of fake people:

1. Overly Nice – Excessive Flattery Feels Unnatural

Fake people often go overboard with compliments, making them feel insincere. They may praise you too much, too quickly, to gain favor rather than express genuine admiration.

2. Inconsistent Behavior – Acts Differently Around Different People

One moment, they’re your best friend, and the next, they ignore you in the presence of others. Fake individuals often change their personalities to fit in with whoever they’re around, making them unreliable and difficult to trust.

3. Gossips a Lot – If They Talk About Others, They’ll Talk About You

Beware of people who constantly gossip. If they eagerly share others’ secrets or speak negatively about friends behind their backs, you can be sure they’ll do the same to you.

4. Lacks Empathy – Dismisses Others’ Feelings

Fake people tend to downplay or ignore the emotions of others. They may act indifferent when someone is struggling or offer shallow, dismissive responses instead of genuine concern.

5. Always the Victim – Never Takes Responsibility

If someone constantly portrays themselves as the victim in every situation, it’s a red flag. Fake people rarely take accountability for their actions and will shift blame onto others instead.

6. Only Around When They Need Something – Disappears Otherwise

Do they only contact you when they need a favor or want something from you? Fake people have a habit of vanishing until it’s convenient for them to reappear.

7. Fake Smiles – Doesn’t Reach Their Eyes

A forced smile is easy to spot. Genuine smiles involve the whole face, particularly the eyes. If someone’s expressions seem mechanical or exaggerated, they may not be as warm-hearted as they pretend to be.

8. Over-Promises, Under-Delivers – Says a Lot, Does Little

Fake people often make grand promises but rarely follow through. They tell you what you want to hear, but when the time comes to act, they always have an excuse.

9. Brags Constantly – Always Trying to Impress

A sure sign of insecurity, fake people often exaggerate their achievements to impress others. Instead of letting their actions speak, they rely on constant self-promotion.

10. Contradicts Themselves – Their Stories Don’t Add Up

Pay attention to inconsistencies in their stories. Fake people often twist the truth or outright lie, leading to contradictions that expose their dishonesty.

11. Plays Both Sides – Two-Faced Behavior

A fake person may pretend to be your friend but also align with those who dislike you. They keep one foot in both camps, trying to benefit from both sides while staying non-committal.

12. Lack of Real Depth – Conversations Stay Shallow

If all your conversations feel superficial and never go beyond small talk, it could be a sign they aren’t truly interested in building a genuine connection.

13. Quick to Judge – Always Criticizing Others

Fake individuals often feel the need to put others down to elevate themselves. They judge people and situations harshly, projecting their insecurities onto others.

14. Competes With You – Tries to One-Up Everything You Do

Instead of supporting your achievements, they try to outshine you at every turn. Whether it’s work, relationships, or even minor things, they always have to prove they’re better.

15. Dismissive of Your Success – Downplays Your Achievements

Rather than celebrating your success, fake people act uninterested or minimize your accomplishments. They may even change the subject or redirect attention back to themselves.

Final Thoughts

Recognizing these signs can help you protect your time and energy from people who don’t have your best interests at heart. Surround yourself with genuine individuals who uplift, support, and respect you. Authentic relationships bring real joy, while fake ones only drain you.

Trust your instincts; if something feels off, it probably is.

To My Almost... If one day we go back to being strangers, it's okay. That doesn't mean I hate you, or I forget about you. It just simply means that I am giving you back your peace. I want you to live your life the way you deserve it. Meeting you and falling in love with you wasn't a mistake. It was God's way of giving us a lesson that we can carry for the rest of our lives. °˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧°.🎀༘⋆ The memories we shared will forever be treasured. The pain that we caused each other will remain in our scars. But that scar will not always be ugly. Some of it was tears, but mostly laughter. So don't worry, I'l always choose to remember the happy times, and bury the painful ones. °˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧°.🎀༘⋆ I am now slowly forgiving myself for the things I wasn't supposed to do. l pray to God to give me the courage to move on with my life without holding on to the promises that has been broken. I pray for strength to face each day without any regrets.

A personality trait that consistently raises a red flag

A personality trait that consistently raises a red flag for me is when someone is overly sweet or excessively kind right from the start. Some might call me cynical or grumpy, but life has taught me a valuable lesson: nobody does anything for you without expecting something in return, whether it’s attention, favors, or some form of leverage later on. It’s not that kindness itself is suspicious,…
