Toxic relationships may not be as thrilling as the Britney Spears song makes them sound. They are addictive and feel like a rollercoaster ride. A classic toxic relationship trait – You feel like you’re on the top of the world but then you hit rock bottom. This cycle of ‘pleasure and pain’ makes your brain go numb.

Consisting of just 7 questions, the ‘toxic relationships’ quiz is here to your rescue. For starters, what is a toxic relationship?

There are a lot of ‘games’ involved and they’re not fun

There is a confusing ‘push and pull’ dynamic
You are overstaying in the hopes that your partner will someday change
Your gut is constantly telling you that something is wrong

Finally, pat your back on catching the signs of a toxic relationship. Coming out of denial is a great start. Maybe you have been at the receiving end of abuse, without even realizing it.

Toxic relationships are addictive and it’s difficult to remove yourself from such situations without anyone’s help. If you are constantly trying to justify your partner’s wrong behavior, it could be helpful to consult a licensed therapist. Our counselors from Bonobology’s panel are always here for you.

I wrote my first poem in fifth grade and haven’t stopped since then. As it has been famously said, “I don’t write poetry, poetry writes me.” Writing has not been a luxury for me, it has been a need that keeps me sane. Pouring my emotions out on paper comes as naturally to me as breathing. A degree in Journalism from Christ was just the cherry on top. Writing long essays as a part of UPSC preparation or term papers as a JNU student never felt like a burden to me and it was in fact therapeutic to type 2000 words in one go. Interning as a reporter with Indian Express taught me how asking the right questions can lead to crisp and engaging pieces. Emotionally, I have keenly observed and experienced inconsistencies in relationships, in my own life and around me while growing up. I have hopped from relationship to relationship, be it long distance or unrequited, toxic or abusive, live in or casual. To heal from the pain and heartache of those and the rough marriage of my parents, I would post long pieces on Instagram, which were basically a vent and also the start of my journey towards self-love. Some people started relating to my writing and would tell me, “You should get paid for this!” So, here I am. I found my medium to get those overwhelming feelings and lessons learnt, out of my system.
