= “We are all a little bit toxic”
= “For me, toxic behaviours are behaviours that harm another person in any way”
= “In response to all of this toxicity, I think it’s just a matter of setting boundaries”
= “No one person will occupy 100% of your attention”
= “Sometimes the way people behave in toxic manners is not my fault”
= “Sometimes toxic friendships are necessary”
= “I don’t think some toxic traits are enough to get rid of a friend when there’s so many other things they can contribute to you”
= “I think that toxic friendships also help you not to idealise people”
= “There’s so many more pros than cons to this friendship, so I’m trying to learn to live with these cons. They shouldn’t be taken personally, they’re just a reflection of what is going on inside this person, and not my fault”
= “We need to make the distinction between friendships with people who have some toxic tendencies and toxic friendships”
= “Friendships are like the tide, they come in waves”
= “If you get too much of one person, you’re going to get burned out from them”
= “Distance is necessary for any relationship to be healthy”
= “If you become more secure in yourself, these things won’t get to you as much”

Hey there! This week I begin with my tea talk (Apple-cinnamon tea in a Little Prince mug) and a life update about everything I’ve been up to, I introduce the topic of toxic friendships by saying why I want to talk about it, my goal, and a disclaimer. I begin by sustaining that we’re all a bit toxic: it’s human nature, so we need to set boundaries, and understand md when these tendencies can be unleashed. Then, I explore why toxic friendships are necessary: they keep us humble, remind us not to idealise people, teach us how to cope, acknowledge how draining they can be, and make a distinction of when they cross the line. Lastly, I share my favourite coping strategies (venting, speaking up, setting distance, and journaling), but take into account the role of insecurity. I wrap up with some main takeaways and share my favourite show, song, and Instagram filter.
