Do You Have Any of These Toxic Behaviors?

People are NOT toxic - but behaviors and relationships can be. 

 

I describe behaviors and relationships as TOXIC if:

 

• they are harmful
• they are mentally, physically or emotionally unhealthy

 

Here are 7 types of toxic behaviors in relationships. When do you notice that you or someone else plays the part of a:

 

• “Conversational Narcissist” or a “Chatty Cathy” who hogs the conversations and steals all of the “air time”
  • What benefit do you get from talking non-stop instead of being interested in others?
  • What does it cost you?
• “Straightjacket” who tries to control and may offer backhanded compliments
  • What benefit do you get from controlling others or thinking they should be just like you?
  • What does it cost you?
• “Emotional Moocher” or “Debbie Downer” or “Emotional Vampire”
  • What benefit do you get from dumping your problems and emotions on others?
  • What does it cost you?
• “Drama Magnet”
  • What benefit do you get from jumping from one crisis to another or from always blaming something or someone for your misery?
• “J.J.” - “Jealous and Judgmental”
  • What benefit do you get from being jealous of and judgmental toward others?
  • What is it costing you?
• “Tank” or “Know-It-All” or “Bossy Bully”
  • What benefit do you get from forcing and pressuring others to do things “your way”?
  • What is it costing you?
