If you have toxic people in your life, be it family member, friend, or partner, speak up.
If you’re a victim of a toxic person, it is not your fault. Toxic people are extremely good at making you feel like the whole thing is your fault. They’re good at getting inside your head and know how to manipulate you to do what they want when they want. Toxic people know how to make you feel bad so they don’t feel guilty about the ways they made you feel.

It is not your fault.

Reach out for help, talk to someone you know and trust. Don’t be silent. Stand up for yourself.

Cut toxicity out of your life. You don’t deserve it. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel loved. You deserve to love yourself.
