What Makes Behavior “Toxic”

“Not all behaviors that upset another person are equally harmful. Some hurts are easy to brush off. For example, you and your partner might both say things that are unfair during a heated argument, but you quickly forgive one another and there’s no long-term damage to the other person or the relationship. Other behaviors lead to deeper wounds and longer lasting effects. Emotional abuse, for example, can damage not only the core of a relationship but can set a person up for longstanding struggles in life. As such, toxic behavior is anything that poisons a relationship and could limit another person’s growth.”
