𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩?

𝐆𝐚𝐬-𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 → questioning your memory or denying that events happened as you recall, even though you are right

𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐈𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → overtly / covertly cutting you off from friends & family, sometimes by telling you that they don't care

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 → when you bring up what's bothering you, your partner stops listening or walks away or ignores you or shuts down

𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → demeaning, shaming or insulting you as well as yelling or embarrassing you in public or private

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 → overloading you with compliments and gifts especially in the beginning of a romantic relationship

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 → being dictated to or told what to wear, eat, who you can talk or relate to, or how to spend your time

𝐅𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 → constant nit-picking, criticizing and blaming you for everything that goes wrong. Demanding perfection and/or comparing you or your life to others

Can you think of more besides these?
Have you experienced some of these?
Are these signs staring someone you know in their face?

This is what I’ve done and/or still do to move beyond them …

🏋️‍♂️Working out
Lifting weights makes me feel centered & sorta more in-control

🍿Chilling with Netflix
This works every time and by now, i’ve almost run out of interesting / fun TV shows

🎶 Listening to Worship Music
This’s by far the best technique for calming my mind down or finding peace

👩‍🍳Cooking something / anything
Making an omelette or a crockpot can distract me or give me something else to think about

📞 Calling the few people who always make time to talk to me.
However, when i call, I don’t talk about my loneliness or stress, but about life

Fear is worrying about the future, on what may or may-not happen and Fear takes you out of the present.
