Generally, it is only after a certain time spent together that the toxic person reveals his unhealthy character. Arrived at this stage, it is often difficult to react. We are trapped because it is too late. We may not even be aware that our relationship is bad for us, and we may think that what we are experiencing is normal and that it is happening in all normal relationships. So, how do we know if we are in a toxic relationship?

4. You are not yourself
A toxic person does not accept you as you are, and you have to wear a mask and not show yourself in your true face, so there is a moment when you do not recognize yourself more yourself. You realize that you are no longer your authentic self.
5. does not let you improve
