A clinical psychologist has shared five signs that your relationship could be toxic.
Dr. Kirren shared her suggestions on TikTok, pointing out five phrases a manipulative person may use and their underlying meaning behind them….
it’s for your own good
“You’ve no right to be upset, you should be grateful.”
you’re so sensitive
“Your feelings really don’t matter.”
you’re so dramatic
“your reactions are not valid”
you know how much I love you
“I need to make sure that you keep giving me what I want.”
it’s just a joke
“If you call me out then it’s a joke, if you don’t, then it’s not.”
