Being Single is Better than Being in a Toxic Relationship

Happy Valentine’s Day dear Steemians! Today, I came across an article written by one of my favourite bloggers, Mr.Stingy. He shared it on his Facebook page with the caption

“In case you're single tonight: Always remember it's better to be single, than to be stuck in a toxic relationship.”

Since it is the day of celebrating love, I thought of sharing it with everyone today. The words in his caption speak for the truth. It is way better to be alone and happy than being with toxic people who don’t add to our lives. Some people believe that toxic behaviours are excusable if they come from our loved ones, which is wrong.

It does not matter who is displaying such behaviours. If you are important to that person, they will treat you in the right way or even the best way possible. Otherwise, you are nothing but a vessel or an outlet that they use to release all of their toxicity to. It is heartbreaking because I know that somewhere in this world there is someone who is ‘celebrating’ Valentine’s Day with a toxic person, either wishing that the toxic person will change and become healthy or in worse scenario, they are staying in the relationship without realizing that they are being used or abused.

Toxic people generally keep hurting us in one way or another if we keep them in our circle. They are not genuine with their intentions and only look forward to either milking us to gain advantages or making themselves feel better when they have a low self-esteem. Such people are not worth your time and you deserve better. Love is not supposed to hurt or make you feel bad. Love is not ugly. Toxic people are yet to learn that and they will probably stay that way until they go through an awakening process which is highly unlikely unless a massive change takes place in their lives.

Hence, it is best to leave such people and move on with life. You will be able to see great changes and life will automatically get better without them in it. Leaving them is not only a way of upgrading your life, but it is actually an act of self-care, self-preservation and a step closer towards a healthy lifestyle. Toxic people are nothing but the extra weight that weighs us down from achieving our full potential while sucking the life out of us like a siphon at the same time.

Furthermore, if you are one of the people who believe that you can change them into better people, you are wrong. It is impossible to change someone unless they are wearing a diaper. Change comes from within. Toxic people do not change their toxic behaviours unless they choose to change. They treat you badly because they choose to do so. They cheat on you because they choose to cheat. They are grown adults who make conscious choices.

Thus, let them drown in their own toxicity and leave them for good. If they really do care about you, they would choose to stop hurting, abusing and stay loyal to you. Moreover, if the friendship or relationship did mean something for them or was important to them, they would have treated you right. Instead of doing that, they would rather keep you stuck with false hopes in an infinite cycle of toxic loop. It will never end unless you choose to end it. Life is too short to waste it on toxic people.

Therefore, if anyone is having a tough time dealing with toxic people, I suggest cutting them off your life or keep a minimal amount of contact if you are not able to go no contact in crucial cases where you have shared parenting or work in the same place.
I wish a toxic free Valentine’s Day to everyone and I hope that you surround yourself with genuine people who care about you. Have a great day/evening ahead.
