First, know that a toxic relationship can be any kind of relationship, not just one between romantic partners. And the "toxic" label can be applied to a wide variety of bad relationships—emotionally or physically abusive relationships are just one extreme.

The biggest sign that you're in a toxic relationship is that you're unhappy. If you don't enjoy spending time with this person and instead feel anxious, sad, or just generally bad when you're with them, it's time to take a hard look at the relationship and figure out what's wrong. Sometimes you can work through what's making it toxic, and other times, you just have to walk away.

Some specific behaviors that might indicate the person is toxic for you:

  • Excessive negativity
  • Control (subtle or overt)
  • Passive aggression
  • Not taking ownership
  • Constantly undermining you
  • Making you feel like you can't voice concerns
