A toxic partner often disguises their jealousy or cruelty towards you as “honest” feedback or conversation. After speaking to them, instead of feeling uplifted and energised, you feel low emotionally. They often point out your flaws, make sarcastic comments at your expense, or keep bringing up their. Over time, this can shatter your self-confidence and make you question your worth.
How to deal with it: If they belittle you, set clear boundaries about what kind of behaviour you will and won’t accept. Stand up for yourself calmly and assertively. If the pattern continues despite honest conversations, consider seeking support from a therapist, or seriously rethink the relationship.
