Helpful toxic relationship quotes help you to pick up the courage to walk away
Dating is one of the most positive experiences a person can have, hence why we do it, but sometimes, for no fault of your own, bad relationships do happen.
In some cases you could just not be compatible with the person you’re dating, and in other cases the person you’re dating could actually be very toxic, which could lead to destroying connection with your friends, family and ruining other aspects of your life.
Regardless, it can still be very hard to get over a person like this one, but helpful toxic relationship quotes can help you to pick up the courage to walk away.
These quotes will make you feel like you’re not alone in your feelings, people have been there and have successfully gotten away from their toxic relationships despite how dangerous or destructive the situation may seem.
It also allows you to get another point of view, to see if your relationship is truly toxic based on the standards of people looking in from the outside.
1. The moment that you start to wonder if you deserve better, you do.
This quote, paraphrase from OurMindfulLife is a great reminder of how important it really is to listen to your own thoughts, despite what outside inputs you may have.
If there is a voice in your head that tells you that you don’t deserve the treatment you’re getting, then it’s likely true and it is about time you listen to it.
2. There are people who bring you down by just being them. They need not do anything.
This quote is so true for toxic relationships as well as friendships, one that is often attributed to Malebo Sephodi.
They, unfortunately, can even relate to family members in your life; so be aware if ANYONE makes you feel worse after spending time with them, this is a very unhealthy sign and means that the person in question should be avoided (if you can!).
3. Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You are aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus or is boarding a different ship, and you just can’t be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn’t be.
This quote from C. JoyBell C. reminds us that not every relationship was built to last, nor does it mean they are worth fixing if things aren’t working out as you might have dreamt they would.
The hardest thing to do is to let someone go, but if they’re toxic to you then the pain of doing this will be very much worth it in the long run.
4. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.
A quote, paraphrased from Robert Brault, who has made a living writing about life observations and one of the reasons why he is so successful is because what he writes is always right on the nose.
In this case, if you stay in a toxic relationship, waiting around for your partner to tell you the truth, apologize and ultimately change who they are to make things better between the two of you, you could be waiting a lifetime.
So, make peace with the relationship ending, soon you’ll be happy with someone new and you’ll be thanking yourself you didn’t waste precious time being around that person for much longer than you needed to.
5. Remove yourself from people who treat you like your time doesn’t matter, like your feelings are worthless, or like your soul is replaceable.
This quote will always remind you to speak your voice, never sit in silence for fear that you might upset someone as the right person is going to be willing to hear it.
The wrong person will brush your feelings off, perhaps call you stupid too; the right person will listen, understand and adjust if needed.
You’ll matter and you’ll always matter.
Final Thoughts
Quotes like these can be hard to read, especially if a person is still in denial about their current circumstance of the true situation of their relationship. But sometimes, they can help a person refocus and realize that the relationship they’re currently in might in fact be toxic and not one that is healthy for them.
Which will set them on the course to eventually end the relationship and begin to make improvements to their lives as a whole.
