Levels of toxicness and again, it's what you perceive the word toxic to mean
00:00:08.160
Relationships and like just with anyone like friends, your partners and stuff
00:00:12.760
It's like really like promoted on social media. It is it is like the toxic relationship
00:00:18.840
Like toxic love like everyone and and what's his name blue face?
00:00:23.820
Yeah, yeah, that's why I don't understand why they get so much attention for that and it's like so unhealthy
00:00:30.060
They're probably both so depressed and unhappy. I feel like to be toxic you have to have a very strong head
00:00:36.060
Yeah, like for them to be toxic. They know what they're doing. It's like they don't it's not like they don't know what they're doing
00:00:41.580
It's like it's like it's calculated. They're doing it on purpose. From what I've seen
00:00:46.440
That's what it looks like. Yeah, I mean to be honest
00:00:48.880
I feel like with toxic relationships you get that adrenaline rush from like when things are good
00:00:53.800
And then when it goes like really bad you just think about the good times, which is why you stay with that
00:00:58.360
You're making excuses for yourself to stay and obviously it's so up and down like once it goes down
00:01:05.440
I can't wait for it to like go back up again and everything to be good because you guys go through like really good
00:01:09.760
You cling on to that little bit of hope almost yeah good part or sometimes you're just used to it
00:01:20.440
Outweigh the pose. I mean that's when you know how do you get used to it?
00:01:25.000
No, but some people are growing up in even like a toxic household like with toxic families
00:01:29.720
Like also like how someone's been raised has a big impact on like the type of men they go for women also like drama
00:01:38.440
I mean, why don't women watch sports? That's camaraderie. We like the Kardashians
00:01:42.200
That's true. Oh my god. I love the Kardashians so much
00:01:53.800
Watch me in a year's time. I'm going to be sitting with Kim Kardashian
00:02:01.640
Opposite, me and her are going to be opposite each other working on you know Skims X
00:02:12.200
I'm such an EastEnders fan so I can't even believe
00:02:24.120
But then the storylines is just too dark for me
00:02:28.280
That to a point, you might be able to handle it
00:02:44.200
But something that's genuinely like bad for your
00:02:54.760
I think well toxic relationships stem from lack of boundaries
00:03:44.120
And people know what they do when they be toxic
00:04:00.840
Because we're not going to talk about the whole liking and following that thing
00:04:11.320
How do you guys think past relationships shape future relationships?
00:04:26.600
If you're able to reflect and not carry on the patterns that you had in your past relationship
00:04:39.080
Because if you bring all your emotional baggage
00:05:02.760
Do you guys think that the best predictor of future relationships is past relationships?
00:05:13.720
And you learn the lesson that it's taught you after you've broken up
00:05:21.880
Then the universe is just going to keep sending you the same person in a different body
00:05:37.240
I'm adding that to my list of things like I want girls to stop saying the universe
00:05:41.400
But you know what some people really genuinely believe that
00:05:46.920
If not why is it that the same person with the same character traits with the same habits with the same comes to you again and again
00:06:05.080
You probably like toxic people and you're probably toxic
00:06:24.280
A lot of toxic relationships don't start off toxic
00:06:33.880
But it's because you haven't learned your lesson the first time
00:06:36.200
And there's only so many relationships you're going to go through
00:06:48.440
But then you probably do something that's toxic
00:07:09.880
So I feel like when you're in a past relationship
00:07:40.120
To get better at being in a healthy relationship
00:07:44.840
But also I think to be in a healthy relationship
00:07:54.520
And you have a level of self-respect for yourself
00:07:58.600
To come into your life and respect those boundaries
00:08:00.920
What kind of boundaries are helpful in a relationship?
00:08:05.640
Being able to give people space if they need it
00:08:13.960
Yeah I mean everyone's boundaries are kind of different
00:08:34.520
Do you know anyone that's been married for 30 plus years?
00:08:46.680
I don't think it's about not needing the person
00:08:55.320
Like some girls they make their relationship their whole life
00:09:07.400
Because they've made their whole life their relationship
00:09:10.600
And you need to remember to have a laptop out of that
00:09:15.000
And usually those girls actually end up getting into a relationship
00:09:20.520
So it's just like instead of like you guys might have different skills
00:09:27.160
So they just usually get into another relationship
00:09:33.720
Because she proved she could be a good girlfriend to that one
00:09:37.240
Yeah some people are just relationship people I think
00:09:41.960
Some people have the goals of like having a family young
00:09:51.080
There's a very very fine line between that I think
00:10:00.760
And when you don't love yourself like I know it's cliche
00:10:03.160
But like how can you expect someone to love you properly
00:10:10.840
You know if you show them that you don't respect yourself
00:10:15.800
How are they going to love you and respect you?
00:10:42.360
So if we look at people with with good outcomes
00:10:45.960
Long marriage is better than breaking up right?
00:10:50.200
But I'm talking I'm talking about like the dating
00:10:54.040
Because like I said I haven't actually been in a proper relationship
00:10:59.240
I know these girls think some of you have been in relationships
00:11:11.000
Do you think that the mentality of cut a guy off quick
00:11:19.560
You've got it because he will most likely do it again
00:11:21.480
Why do we always go to like the worst case scenario?
00:11:30.120
Like if you express that you don't like how someone's treating you
00:11:39.800
Because you don't like the way you're being treated
00:11:41.240
But you're going to stay there because you like him
00:11:43.880
Or you think that he likes you because he does nasty things to you
00:11:47.480
And then he might buy you some flowers afterwards and be like
00:12:03.560
Those things can easily be resolved with good communication
00:12:08.360
I agree with you that you should cut people off
00:12:11.480
If you want to be married that aren't marriage-minded quick
00:12:27.000
Before I used to always think of the worst-case scenario
00:12:37.080
I think sometimes you just got to go with the flow
00:12:50.120
Can a person change and no longer be considered a toxic ex?
00:13:04.920
Depending on how long you're trying to get them to change
00:13:13.640
Anyone will only change when they're ready to change
00:13:19.800
Like if you stay with a man hoping that he will change
00:13:30.840
You know guys I'm sure go through stuff as well
00:13:33.240
Like certain triggers might trigger them to like
00:14:06.280
I don't think I've really been on toxic relationships
00:14:43.160
I feel like a lot of people have to hit rock bottom
00:14:51.080
One time I was dating a guy that my dad didn't like
00:17:08.200
Don't you get to choose the people in your life?
00:17:15.000
I'm pretty sure you guys have all come across really bad people
00:17:20.520
But at the same time you like realise like okay
00:17:24.600
So you're not going to associate yourself with people that don't
00:17:37.720
A mindset is something that you learn like over time
00:17:43.560
It's the same way the way you take education differently
00:17:46.520
So you can't be in a person when they don't change their lives
00:18:03.640
You know if you don't want to be in that situation
00:18:05.400
Then you work towards getting yourself out of that situation
00:18:12.120
Like how do you expect to grow how do you expect yourself to change
00:18:16.680
You have to become the change and take actions towards that change
00:18:20.360
Like thinking and all of that is nothing without action
00:18:31.240
Do you think that people who constantly label their exes as toxic
00:18:34.920
Are looking for an excuse for the failed relationship
00:18:43.560
Because it gets to a point again like you need to look inwards
00:18:56.360
I've just realised that I've never been a toxic one
00:19:29.400
That's just one person out of how many people in the world
00:20:02.840
You checked the followers to see if you can trust them
00:20:11.240
Question is how long do you have to be curious for
00:20:16.840
Are you able to see what type of corn a guy watches
00:23:23.160
I'm not saying that it's okay for him to do that
00:23:30.920
A lot of times girls will talk about how toxic he is
00:23:37.320
Because you've probably had some trauma in the past
00:24:15.400
You'd obviously have to log into their Instagram
00:26:47.880
You could literally call it a form of self-harm
00:27:05.320
But it's that how does that cause problems within yourself
00:27:14.360
If you're if you go out looking for the problem
00:27:45.160
But if you're going through his likes all the time
00:28:06.280
You're not going into a relationship in good faith
00:28:14.920
There might have been something that could trigger that
00:29:34.600
Like how often are you going to go through his shit?
00:29:53.960
Like you might even create an issue in your head
00:30:01.240
Some people actually have to dig themselves a problem
00:30:08.200
Some people realise that they're in something toxic
00:30:30.840
If you feel like you have to check their socials every day
00:30:57.080
Because I can't actually log into his Instagram
00:31:15.800
Do you think that's healthy for a long-term marriage?
00:31:24.120
Is to be looking through your husband's following
00:31:33.320
Again, like it all circles back to you not trusting that person
00:31:45.240
Yeah, by the way, I'm not only based on Instagram guys
00:31:54.200
Yeah, there's always something you can look through
00:32:00.120
I mean, some people meet the husband's other family at the funeral
00:32:07.560
But there's always going to be something to look through
00:32:10.920
And so it's not necessarily that he should be liking the photos
00:32:16.280
Okay, I'm going to read Super Chats for a second
00:32:25.640
That is the most important metric that YouTube uses
00:32:51.720
The chick on the end is justifying her toxicity
00:33:23.400
Because what my man and family are my whole life
00:34:44.120
Is it in the comments or the description blessing
00:35:24.120
Do you think it's possible to have a healthy relationship with a former toxic ex
00:36:05.480
How important is it to be honest with yourself about past relationships
00:36:17.880
Because the last person you would want to lie to is yourself
00:36:32.120
But I've always tried to be as honest as possible
00:36:36.040
And state out the facts about certain situations
00:37:12.520
Yeah I definitely feel like I've lied to myself
00:37:17.240
And then you make excuses for that other person
