Would your friends and family describe your relationships as train wrecks? Do most relationships end with blocking numbers, burning belongings, and even filing restraining orders? Have you just about needed to go into witness protection after each breakup? And felt completely unhinged? No breakup is easy, but if you’ve never known a breakup free of Lifetime-movie-worthy dramatics and perhaps its own Dateline episode, then you probably have a lot of toxic relationships. Here’s the scarier fact: you’re attracting them. Of course, you don’t want toxic relationships, but perhaps your desire for something else—to run from a personal issue, for example—causes you to behave in ways that attracts them. Here is behavior that attracts toxic partners, time and time again.

You like men who criticize you

When a man criticizes you, rather than find him rude or mean, you just find yourself wanting to prove him wrong. That’s typically a symptom of a lack of self-love: when you aren’t kind to yourself, you’re drawn to people who also aren’t kind to you.
