Me, Myself and I

Have you ever desired a perfect relationship? Does such even exist? Like two opposing magnets unable to connect, we often see multiple red flags in a person but do our best to force the red flags to turn green.

Why are we seeking validation from people incapable of capturing our worth? Toxic people are intentional about what they do while hunting for their next 'supply source.' For the rest of us, identifying their intolerable behavior separates them from everyone else. A person who has been hurt and a person who is traumatized are two types of people with different emotional statuses.

The status of emotional hurt originated from non-physical sources. Sometimes, emotional distress is the result of the actions of others or the result of regret, grief, or loss. The status of emotional trauma is the end result of events or experiences that leaves a person feeling deeply unsafe and often helpless. This trauma can result from a single event or have been a part of an ongoing experience, such as chronic abuse, bullying, discrimination, or humiliation. Emotional captivity can create a toxic environment between two people with different intentions for both parties.

How can we equip ourselves to avoid getting into these situations? One way is by becoming educated, able to recognize tell-tale characteristics. This book aims to open your mind to understand the different scenarios that can present themselves within a toxic situation-ship. I hope you steer clear of them on your way to the most perfect relationships.
