Wait… Am I the Toxic One?

Yeah, sorry. This might be about you. 👀

You probably clicked this thinking, “Ugh, this totally sounds like my ex/friend/co-worker.” But then a little voice inside whispered, “...what if it’s me?” Don’t panic — self-awareness is actually the first step toward not being the problem.

So let’s talk about some signs that maybe (just maybe), you’re the drama.


1. You Think Life’s a Movie — and You’re the Star 🌟

Sure, we all want to feel special. But if you’re constantly acting like everyone else exists to support your storyline? Yeah, that’s a red flag. People have lives too, you know — wild, right?

What to do: Start seeing others as real humans, not background characters. Their lives matter just as much as yours.


2. Your Apologies Suck

Saying stuff like:

“I’m sorry you got upset.”

“Fine, I’ll stop — happy now?”

“I guess I messed up... but you kinda started it.”

Those aren’t apologies. That’s emotional gymnastics.

What to do: Own your stuff. Try this: “I’m sorry. I messed up.” No buts. No blame-shifting. Simple. Honest. Respectful.


3. You Ghost at the First Sign of Conflict 👻

Someone calls you out, and poof — you disappear faster than your data bundle on a video call. Then weeks later, you pop back in like nothing happened. No explanation. No accountability. Just vibes.

What to do: Learn to face hard conversations. It's uncomfortable, yes — but running only makes things messier.


4. You Confuse Honesty with Being Mean

“I’m just blunt.”
“I say it like it is.”
Sound familiar? Let’s be real — you might just be rude and calling it "honesty" to dodge responsibility.

What to do: There's a difference between being real and being reckless with your words. Deliver truth with kindness, not as a mic drop moment.


Final Thoughts:
Being toxic doesn’t mean you’re evil — it means you’ve got some stuff to work on (don’t we all?). If any of these hit close to home, take it as a sign to reflect, grow, and do better. We’re all a work in progress.
