In every relationship, whether it is friendship, marital relationship, official relationship, or relationship between neighbors, there is a foundational factor: respect for the opposition. Except for cracking harmless jokes, we should always speak and deal with others with respect. If we are surrounded by people who frequently scorn us and mock us, then life will be hell. In that case, it is better to withdraw from such relationships.
Even though you have loved someone sincerely and stayed loyal to that person, he or she points at another person and tries to prove that the other person is better than you, then continuing in that relationship is not advisable. It means that the other person is loved and preferred over you. If you do not get the love and friendship you have invested in him/her, why should you continue in that relationship bearing low self-esteem?
It is trust that decides the beauty of every relationship. Mutual trust is essential between couples, friends, and neighbors. Continuing in a relationship when the other one has publicized or misused your secrets, will make you a fool.
There are people who tell lies always. Be honest to those who are close to you. Honesty is the best policy in the world. What does it benefit you in continuing a relationship with someone who is not honest to you? It also can cause evil results.
In a relationship, there should be at least one factor that is enjoyable to both. It is true that each one is different. Each one has different tastes and interests. Admitting all these, there should be some common interests that is essential for the smooth growth and sustenance of every relationship. Instead of these, if both of you have contradictory ideologies and interests, such a relationship will never be long-lasting. Find it early and keep away from such toxic relationships.
For certain people, their interests are all what matters. For them, the pain of a thorn in their foot will be greater than the pain of the amputated leg of another person. These people will not be kind or empathetic. For them, their pain is bigger… their happiness is bigger… their success is bigger. If you find ‘ego’ and selfishness are dominating in their dealing, avoid such people.
Body shaming is bad in all circumstances. Everyone is a unique creation. Everyone is different from the other in height, color, weight, shape, face, and limbs. If someone is frequently insulting you by pointing at your features, you do not need to maintain that relationship. Never maintain a relationship with someone who constantly leads you down to inferiority feeling.
At the same time, some relationships provide us with solace and happiness. When we are with them, we feel that we are in a protective hand. Their presence makes us so comfortable. If their presence and closeness is attracting you, stay close to such people. At the same time, run away from all negative and toxic relationships.
