Identifying Draining, Disempowering & Toxic Relationships - Ask Yourself

1. Have you Ever met a person for short time only but who managed to drain your mood, energy & enthusiasm
2. Are you in relationship with such a person
3. Could you be such person[off course, if it is you, chances are you can never understand, identify or accept it yourself, in fact you would be the person who will accuse your partner of being such nasty person], then the person who is related with you is experiencing the same horrible experience courtesy yourself.

I am giving below few indicators of your partner having a disorder, you choose what are present in your relationship [here we are talking about identifying traits of your partner, not you]

1. You will note they get hurt very fast, even if you have not said or done anything intentionally or unintentionally
2. You will notice that they never forget anything[even if that is totally imagined by then] & have a habit of digging in & bring out past which has been talked about and sorted out
3. They are very irrational& illogical
4. You cannot have discussions with them, it gets turned into arguments
5. Having conversation with them is difficult, as they are perceptive listeners
6. They can never understand your pain, your hurt, your feelings
7. They seldom honor their promises
8. They lie, but when it is proved that they lied, they will change the topic & bring something out of blue, that you feel exasperated
9. Many times they show signs of nervousness, without any reasons
10. You may notice over a period of time, that they nurse grudge & feeling of getting back at you
11. You will also feel that they hold you responsible for all the wrongs[they feel they have in their life]
12. Their apologies are mere words, they do not mean it & they will again do the same thing without feeling bad or even remembering that they had apologized for the same thing
13. You will find them, at times being passive aggressive, which comes from their being submissive
14. Whenever around them, you would feel guilty
15.  They will repeat same mistakes repeatedly, and you get the feeling they're doing it on purpose to make life more difficult for you
16. They can to understand jokes & neither makes jokes which are original. Most of the time they use clichés or jokes heard from others
17. They feel they are know it all & expect you to acknowledge the same all the time, even for things which are routine
18. If you advise them, they may feel offended
19. They act very kind and almost overly social to strangers & charm the outsiders very well 
20. They will use threats & even tell you that they are ending their life, but will never act on that
21. You may find they have a very high libido & having sex with them is actually very satisfying, if you too enjoy the physical intimacy
22. You may find them constantly criticizing you, especially if you are a great achievement & they will always downplay your accomplishment & link them to blame you for all your faults

This is one type of pattern, if you are in relationship with or dealing with such a person. The more severe this dis-order, the faster you will notice & as a result thereof be more miserable.
