They never let you be happy, which makes you feel like you’re the bad guy in every circumstance. They play with your insecurities or create new ones, and try to shape you in what they believe is “better for you”. This can often lead to low-self worth, anxiety, depression, and sometimes it can affect you so much that you want to take your own life.

A healthy relationship is something you should value and hold on to; it’ll have a great influence on you.

In the end, you’ll be smarter knowing how to notice a bad relationship and how to leave it.
