Red Flags Are Only Dangerous If You Ignore Them

Let’s play a game: If you have to keep justifying someone’s behavior to your friends, it’s a red flag. 😬

And no, it’s not “mean” or “cold” to cut ties. It’s called emotional safety.

Toxic relationships come in all shapes — romantic, family, friendships, coworkers. They usually have one thing in common: You feel worse after spending time with them.

🔴 Red Flags to Watch For:

• You feel drained, anxious, or small around them

• They always “joke” about your insecurities

• They apologize… but nothing ever actually changes

• You keep making excuses for why you stay

Listen — you don’t have to wait for it to get worse to give yourself permission to leave.

🎯 3 Ways to Start Letting Go:

1. Set a clear boundary — even if it’s just emotional distance.

2. Get honest: Are you staying out of love… or habit?

3. Remind yourself: “Choosing peace over chaos is not selfish.”

Life’s too short to spend it untangling someone else’s mess while you abandon your own healing.
