What's the most toxic thing you had said to someone before? Confession time.

[@koko-ut2ee]

hey! thank you for this video it really helped, do you mind making one about how to get over friendships? love your content, have a great day/night!

[@layladiamondgirl2080]

@Psych2Go I had a situashion ocurr multipul times were i tried to explain to someone how i felt about a specific thing they did repeatedly... One time i said "please stop, I need some time by myself" thoes were our set of "safe" words for when things got to heated... Sadly they would always push me and then say something that would force me to respond back to them again instead of letting me leave so I could calm down. After the heated argument and calming down i would go back and try to explain to them that i didnt like what they did. "Hey, can we talk? I dont like something that you did and would like to speek about it and why i dont like it" this person was the type to constantly repeat the same thing over and over and over without a break or any changes inbetween so it was like how a friend or sibling would consistently make the same noise or do something very irritateing .. But the difference was that they didnt stop repeating and it would go on for days, it would even start up again after a few months if brought up again and they would use it as an excuse of some sort weather it was valid or not. After thoes conversashions i would tell them "I feel like your not listening to me because you keep repeating" then they would apoliguize and say "but" sutch and sutch which was them repeating again dispite just being told about it and how it made me feel. Once i realized they wouldent stop i would be furious again and say "Whatever, forget it... Im tierd of hearing you repeat yourself constantly." And dropped the onesided conversashion. We would go for a day or two without talking and then go back to normal. Could you make a video on this or tell me how to deal with this situashion for future reference?

I snarkily responded, “If you wouldve responded sooner, maybe you would know.”

Silent treatment is my biggest problem after an argument. No wonder why people lost interest in me after a while. I would probably lose interest too.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

yep that's a struggle. I think the way to improve there is to say things earlier, when it won't necessarily create an argument. Many little things that annoy you can create an argument, but if it's only one and you express it with good manners, it probably won't be an argument. But I know that's precisely the hard part. Also, silent treatment can be necessary/benefitial in some cases, but it's hard to judge when.

[@Tsexe07]

Sometimes no response is a response, especially to a manipulative toxic person.

[@SugarxSweetx]

Absolutely trigged by the words "I'm done". I'd heard it for years when I was with a manipulative person, and would never choose to stick around with someone once they've said that. It just shows they don't value you enough to properly work on the struggles in the relationship and would prefer to bail. That constant feeling of the relationship being on the verge of ending is too painful to tolerate again. I am waiting for as long as necessary to meet someone who can be open minded and communicate effectively with me rather than threaten to throw in the towel every other day.

[@staciedixon3802]

It seems that my one and I are fighting more than makeing love . I don't think either one of us knows how to have a healthy relationship. Altho their is a significant age difference we didn't let that interfere with our love.. Everytime we would fight or she gets mad she withholds love . No matter how much I try and she tries to communicate , it always ends up with distance and silence. After we finally make up for a day or too. In thoes moments I feel very close to her and want to open up completely, so I do . When I am completely honest and feel very vulnerable she gets super angry all over again and is never empathizeing or being understanding.. just another week or two of anger no physical contact. Shot and rude behavior. Then says it's all my fault..what do I do

@@staciedixon3802 it might help to have a neutral mediator or dare I say, maybe couples therapy if both of you are willing.

@@staciedixon3802 maybe it’s more than just plain they don’t want to communicate. It sounds kinda like narcissistic tendencies. We all go through them, some people obviously don’t care to make themselves better, but others become aware of their actions and then try to change. It does sound like you may need a couples therapist so that that person can help her see how she’s hurting you and the relationship. If they choose not to from there, You might want to rethink the relationship. It’s sounds like they’re not willing to put in the work and ultimately you’d be the one wasting your time when you’re trying to invest for a long term relationship. If anything I would look into narcissistic relationship and videos on YT just to see if that fits your situation because that manipulation can play with your head and heart heavily. And if they cannot empathize and don’t deal well with your emotions… its sounding like Narcissistic tendencies to me

"You'll get over it" is something I constantly heard from my parents. If there was something I didn't enjoy doing or didn't want go do, or somewhere I didn't want to go, they'd force me to go anyway and then get on me if I acted upset. Essentially forcing me to "get over it". Even if I never really felt right at the end.

"It's all in your head." a professional and personal friend refused to facilitate an apology (he was put in the role of contact between clients) and kept saying It's all in your head.

It's not kind, responsible or even close to being understanding.

I have to disagree with, "I'm done." I disowned my brothers this weekend after years of mental and emotional abuse. I've been in therapy for years. They shut me down, gaslight and manipulate me.

This weekend it came to a head, though, after listening to a barrage of disrespectful insults and denial of any wrongdoing on their part. I not only told him I'm done, I told him he's dead to me. It's the only way I can go on peacefully with my life

I think they meant using "I'm done" as a threat or using the relationship as leverage against someone rather than expressing that you're leaving the toxic situation that you're in.

[@summer7435]

@@Psych2go I love the other animations as well! but so far, this is my fave, hehe ☺️ Thank you for making these videos!! you don't know how much it helps us! I get to learn new things, and get to apply them too! Thank you so much for all the work that you do! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

[@lorraine4647]

the drawings are so cute!! especially the colors picked and facial expressions…. THEY ARE SO FREAKING ADORABLE!! I hate to admit it but after watching, I realize I’ve done a lot of these topics that were covered within the video… but I think this video helped me to grow as a better person now on!

[@hdezines]

I love these little characters 😍 great video 🌻 These things said to you can make you feel like shutting down and putting up walls to protect yourself and your emotions and that your emotions aren't valid or worthy of sharing.

[@dtaylorondabeat]

The only thing that me and my girlfriend will never say again to eachother is “you’re just like (insert relative)” with a negative connotation, I had shitty parents who would’ve rather drop me off at my grandparents and go party/do drugs/get plastered every night instead of raising me or spending time with me, and ditto for her as well, that phrase hurts so deep when you’ve had toxic parenting before

[@kristo5615]

I think these videos are very helpful. It helps validate our own emotions if we hear those things from others but on the flip side it also helps us to do some introspection. I just apologized to someone last night cuz I’ve said some of these things and this person and I have been having a hard time.We don’t have all the answers and we don’t always get things right. I believe that life is about learning and growth no matter what age. I’m the type of person that is first to apologize even if it’s not right away. Things like ego and pride are some of the deadliest relationship killers. All the best in your journey of life to anyone reading this.

[@a.westenholz4032]

I did that once, apologized first in a situation where, though both of sides had made mistakes, I still thought and felt honestly the other person had more to apologize for, but hoped that by being the first to apologize it would be easier (and hopefully automatic) for the other person to likewise apologize, and so to clear up the mess. Never happened. They just accepted my apology as if they had done nothing wrong, leaving me feeling all the more irritated with that person for utterly lacking self-awareness.

[@silviatomassone6187]

This video (as many in this channel) is so helpful. I was aware that silent treatment is not a good way forward, but sometimes you need sometime to cool down. However, it's so important to acknowledge it to your partner. Thanks a lot for making this information accessible. May all videos on KZbin be like this channel. Lots of love xox

[@polarfusion5499]

I’ve definitely given people the silent treatment. When I do it it’s not from being malicious or spiteful, I’ve literally just reached a point where I can’t talk anymore. I just can’t. I can’t answer your questions, I don’t have a reason for crying, I feel 100% broken and I’ve got no words left in me.

[@dante7228]

The most toxic sentence : - I don't give a f** k! Or - I don't care! . . . . . . However I want to emphasise that showing compassion, understanding and emphaty isn't always the best option, because, depending on context, it can enforce negative perceptions, thoughts or feelings and make it harder for those affected to overcome them. Sometimes offering an alternative way of understanding the situation can lead the way out of viscous circles of own negative thoughts and feelings. It's a thin line to walk though...

[@yosaimacdouble9697]

I scored 6 out of 8,, as much as some of these videos make me feel uncomfortable with myself (when I reflect upon how I responded to the negative times in my life,relationships,etc.), I do believe they help with my own emotional restoration. All I can say is I wish I would’ve watched psych2go’s content before I started dating, esp with CNM relationships.. but aye, I’m happy to watch ‘em now. Thank you for doing all that you do.

[@Bubitunasha1995]

I want everybody to remeber, that some of these phrases can be good, explaining or most important: a way to set bounderies. BUT the moment its used to hurt or provoke someone or make them feel guilt - then it is toxic and not okay. We gotta remember that we are all born with the same amount of worth and that we all need love and understanding. It has to go both ways

Any relationship that makes you feel worse about yourself, rather than better, is toxic! When you are left feeling unloved, drained and have been attacked in any way, is a sure sign that you're in a toxic relationship. No one is worth staying in a relationship that causes you constant pain and heartache.💔 💙KZbinr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships

[@MoltoRubato88]

Actually, saying "I'm done" when used in the context of being catfished by a fake person online can actually be a good thing, because it frees the other person from manipulative con artists who can be reported and blocked forever.

[@Psych2go]

For sure! It depends on who you're dealing with too. Against toxic people, sometimes, we don't have to be as mindful about our words. We just simply leave if we have to.

[@richerDiLefto]

I think dealing with online catfish is outside the scope of the stuff on this list, which was meant for how we communicate with people we actually have *real relationships with.* Abusers and con artists need to be completely cut off and pushed away from us for our own safety, not reasoned with.

[@alexbrown1930]

The worst part is, sometimes, saying "calm down" is not from any desire to hurt, but is because the person you are saying it to is reacting from pure emotion. I have had people say it to me to snap me out of that state(whether anger, joy, or any other overwhelming emotion).

[@JonathanB824]

then it needs to be a case by case basis. if im freaking out and someone says "calm down", they're looking to get punched

I don't think that "You're too much sensitive" is always toxic. I know a person who ALWAYS cry, and just admitted that sometimes is for manipulative reasons, it can be literally for EVERYTHING, I don't have patience for it, sorry.

[@Iwantthelordinme]

Personally, I think that instead of "You're too sensitive." It might be better to say, "I'm sorry I don't have the energy to talk right now" It's important to set boundaries

8/6 things my mom said to me during breakfast today: - Mom, I've been having hallucinations since last month, I think I should go to a therapist. I keep seeing faces floating in the air and strange people around the house. It's really scarry. - Oh my god, you're so sensitive! Just like your father! It will go away, just ignore it. It's not a big deal. Like, are you crazy or something? Ugh, you're always complaining! (I'm not, but I have a lot of health problems) I'm sure it's not that bad!

What's holding you back?

[@Slow-zm5wv]

I've found the fourth one to be the most common amongst my family and people I know and I've gotta say it can really hurt because it feels like you shouldn't be feeling the things that your feeling. I've not learned how to handle this completely but I've gotten better with it and now if anyone feels ashamed about the way they feel about something or someone I try my hardest to reassure them that they have every right to their feelings and that it's not anyone elses buisness so it doesn't matter if they disagree. I've always been told that the many things I've liked or enjoyed are weird and invalidate my opinions. I enjoy old music or otherwise unconventional music causing other people to put me down for what I enjoy. There are also many activities and games I consider fun that many others at my school don't leading to the same things. I recognize that I'm insecure about what I enjoy now and have trouble opening up about new hobbies and interests I have. I don't want anyone else to go through this which is why I'm making this video request. If my video request helped even one person it would mean a lot to me and I can't imagine being the only person going through this right now. If anyone made it this far I'd like to thank you for hearing me out. I'm not even out of highschool so I could be missing something but I just wanted to bring the topic up just in case it was a possible video topic that hadn't been brought up yet.

@@ashlynripikoi5826 I'm not shy, in fact I'm a very extroverted and open person. I've never had issues saying my opinion or having a nice conversation. I've just become less open about interests specifically because I've been told that the things I like are wrong to like such as school, genres of music, certain video games, bored games, and many other things. Also I was homeschooled but ended up back in public school so it's kind of a reverse situation

[@Varyell]

"Calm down" is the worst thing to tell anyone in a heightened state of emotion. I have anger issues and "you need to calm down" literally sets me off the deepest end. Had that happen once, then a friend who knows me defused it quick by just asking "What happened?" They confirmed I was angry over something, even got me to talk about it. I was furious cause of the crap "calm down" my boss tried to pretend should work. I was truly angry cause of family troubles. That was a whole dam of emotions I got to say out loud. This was six years ago, and it helped me realize my anger issues are because I have a hard time opening up and just saying what's truly my problem.

[@_hirukaze_]

I love having deep talks with friends. Especially with my best friend. When she says something that's very difficult for her to talk about or something that's bothering her deeply, I thank her for opening up to me. I tend to not know what to say in such situations, so I just say „thank you, for telling me“.

[@Sillyclownboy]

“yeeeh thems is fighting words”

[@Nsjdhusujdjcn]

Be so aware of what you are saying. May be you don't mean to hurt them but just imagine them always getting hurt more because of many people doing the same as you That will make them feel insecure about themselves, their emotions and their thoughts even though their brain knows there's nothing to be insecure. Your little statement can make someone who always tries to escape from people to prevent getting hurt and doesn't know how to act with people as they've become insecure of what they are. So please be very careful of what you are saying. Be soft, patient, reachable and warm. Give them lot of love when they need you by their side.

[@lookwhosinsideagain3489]

"It's not that bad, it's in your head" - what if I'm in a relationship with someone sometimes incapable of judging intentions, with a mental disorder? Doesn't it help to ground their obsessive thoughts (of course with empathy)?

[@lookwhosinsideagain3489]

This is a legitimate question btw, my partner has OCD and anxiety.

[@xobunnyfangsxo]

Hi, fellow person with high anxiety here like your partner. It doesn't help, it feels like we aren't being taken seriously. Even if we know that the mental gymnastics we pull on ourselves are nonsensical and that we're overthinking, it still feels real and we can't stop from feeling like it's true after all. Because we make connections that aren't there. Instead of saying something like "it's all in your head", try asking "Well, why do you think that?" instead. You don't have to enable them, but go through their line of thinking and understand where they're coming from. "Why do you think this person has X intentions?" and "I personally thought they intended it as Y" can be helpful, rather than dismiss them entirely you get them to think about WHY they think the way they do, rather than getting caught up in the intense emotions those thoughts give while also giving your perspective, which could help rationalize their thinking more. I can't speak on the OCD aspects as I don't have it, but if it's relating to their OCD and not their anxiety that's out of your jurisdiction. If their OCD is really bad they need therapy if they have the resources and ability to get it as you aren't equipped to handle it.
