unfortunately sometimes you have to go through it to avoid it/recognize it. most important advice i could give is giving yourself time to trust, learn, and to choose who you are opening up to. relationships are very intimate and vulnerable (obviously depending on your relationship) and connecting with another person will definitely have its conflicts. choose wisely on who you want to open a new chapter with, because it takes forgiveness, vulnerability, open mindedness, loyalty, and acceptance.

loyalty being life comes with its challenges and sucks at times, and people will grow and evolve. being committed to your SO in all of their life struggles and growth is key!! vise versa too. they should be interested in knowing you, seeing you grow, motivate you to keep going, support your evolution, and build your confidence. anyone that doesnt do that doesnt deserve your time.

narcissists will try to keep you small, so they can feel large. as in, they might lift you up in some places, but criticize you in ways that will help you grow and become successful in more ways. stay true to yourself! you and your SO should be supportive of who you are as individuals. knowing yourself and being so connected to yourself is another important factor in relationships. this way, you know your worth and cant be manipulated out of it. you dont deserve that BS

being in a toxic relationship i learned the important of setting boundaries early on and sticking to them. boundaries help you stay true to yourself and avoid overstepping from your SO. communication and commitment is key, but dont confuse it for control and manipulation. dont let someone force anything onto you or move too quickly. you are your own person and you deserve the best!

being in a HEALTHY and HAPPY relationship now ive learned how forgiveness and patience go a long way. my bf and i were in toxic af relationships before ours. both of us were closed off. both of us are unlearning things. not only front our exes but from family and childhood trauma too. its not always sunshine and rainbows, especially because we are long distance right now. but i want nothing but to be by his side, supporting him now and committing to him and us to bring us together and closer.

Yes! I never took the idea of boundaries seriously… until I went to therapy. They are SO important and was a HUGE game changer for me. They are so important when it comes to staying true to yourself, especially if you’re empathetic and have people pleasing tendencies. Narcissists can ONLY take advantage of people with a lack of strong boundaries. So do yourself a favor and establish boundaries!!!!

you learn a lot about yourself in relationships. you learn about your reactions in conflict and compromising with your SO. at the end of the day you are a team. communication is important! honesty to yourself and others is a genuine way to connect with someone and create trust. and dont date short dudes with little man syndrome. just an extra tip❤️
