Oo
This hit a lot of points from my most recent relationship, but one point in particular made me question myself. All through that relationship he mentally abused me, and manipulated others to believe that I was abusing him. He had a lot of emotional trauma from childhood, and was stuck in a state of mind where he hated himself. I tried to encourage him to seek help for his mental health, and encourage him to use his intelligence to get the job of his dreams. I thought I was doing the right thing by supporting his growth, but now I'm not sure whether I did the right thing or not. By the end of our relationship, I had changed toward him. One of the reasons he ended our relationship was because I had become too defensive, in his words. In fact, I was building my self worth with the help of my therapist. She gave me the courage to call him out for the horrible things he was saying to or about me. I just wonder if I'd pushed him too much, in what I thought was a positive way.

Well, thanks for describing the entirety of my interactions with my ex wife.
An important thing for people to keep in mind is that sometimes just because someone is better than what you are used to, whether it's how a parent, sibling, or teachers had treated you, does not mean that they aren't toxic. It can be a spectrum like so many other things.
If your interactions set off warnings in your mind, stop and look at those warnings. It could be false, just triggering a previous issue, but it could be a sign of much deeper issues that will become a problem later.

pros outweigh cons that's what matters for me. and if you both know that you're toxic or are aware of the issue then there will always be a way to solve it if you are together. But imo a toxic love doesn't necessarily mean that you can't be in love at the same time. if you love someone it is indefinitely whereas being toxic or toxic related problems are temporary because they can always be solved in the right time

I aggre except for number 4. For me, perfection is not something you find but something you made. When you are in a relationship and you think it's not perfect, don't just go away and look for another relationship. Both party need to sit down, talk, and fix each other so the relationship will walk towards perfection.
Anyway it's just my opinion. People free to do what they want about their relationships.

Oh man, I see 2 things I need to be better at.
1. I think sometimes Im giving advice, but its sorta on the brink of criticism. Perfection is an unhealthy thing I strive for, and I need to watch to make sure it doesnt spread to my relationship.
2. Hes communicated with me that sometimes it takes me a bit to step up to the plate when accepting blame.
Thanks for pointing these things out, any advice?

The person whos right for you will like you for who you are
Thats such a relief to hear that and realize that theres no need to worry about myself when Im in a conversation or with my GF.
Ive always been worrying and thinking: Does she regret having me around? No, I cant be that handsome, or handsome in general.
Even asking her myself has a tiny spec of me not believing her.

Hmm. about Thriving on Your Failure. would it also cover not stepping up to your partners aid until the moment they actually fail? As in the opposite of celebrating their successes? Eg. not involving themselves with the other until depression and struggles with it sets in (leading to trying to fix you I suppose, without really being mean about it?

I know number 4 very well. They tried to bully me into getting medicated for my anxiety so I can be normal, and gave me deadlines on when my anxiety would just be gone. I've been working on it my way and have made a lot of progress. Don't date someone who treats you like a problem that needs to be fixed. They'll just make you feel worthless

I had a fight with my girlfriend yesterday, we almost broke up for one simple reason:
We both thought the relationship was hurting the other.
It turns out, we are the exact opposite of every single one of the points in this video.
We just care about each other too much to the point it becomes an issue lol

in my last relationship I criticized her a lot, because I wanted to change her into better, more fitting.
that happens when youre fundamentally not matching but still love eachother, based on the fact that youre toghether now, because you dont see that you could have better alternatives

I wanted to ask, what you should do, when parents mentally abuse you? Do you have to call the police? What will happen after you call the police? How do you prove, that your parents are mentally abusing you? It would be really helpful if someone would answer my questions

I'm recently out of a 13 Yr relationship, I think back to the start and the anxiety I felt when I was with her. I stayed due to insecurities in myself. Being with her got more toxic and abusive. Dont stay, leave as soon as you can!

The video and voiceover were lovely and interesting to sit and think about but then abruptly switching to the low-res clip of that lady loudly reading from a script at the end completely ruined the relaxing vibe

Don't have to worry about it if you're whole life has been truama and believe love is fake. single for life is far better than a life potentially going through torment.

Using the Windows default error sound in your video was a poor choice. Made me stop and look to see what happened. 5 times. Otherwise great content, big fan.

Ugh. well, it is toxic, but more that it's just not right. 16 years later, there's no growth, no change, and it's been horrible for me. completely one sided.
