Toxic relationships, as I covered another time, poison every area of your life. They change the way you think—they mess with your perspective and even your brain chemistry—and so they change the way you do everything. They always mess up your friendships since your friends and your toxic partner have conflicting interests—namely, your friends want what’s best for you, and your toxic partner wants what’s best for him. But he has a very manipulative way of making you believe that that’s also what’s best for you. For a while, you take the side of your manipulative partner, making your friend’s feel rejected, scorned, and disrespected. They try to tell you you’re making a mistake. But you’re in love (it’s not love—you’re just temporarily poisoned) so you don’t listen. Once you come to your senses and get out of that toxic relationship, you’ll have to repair your friendships if you want to keep them.
Admit that they were right
Tell them that they were right about everything. They need to hear it. You have no idea how frustrated they were watching you be completely brainwashed. They would tell you the truth, and you would tell them that something else was the truth—something that was completely false. You need to tell them that you were in a fog, and they were right all along.
