JAKARTA - Making relationships with other people, be it friends, closest people, or family, is an important part of life. However, not all relationships can go well. There are some relationships that are classified as toxic or toxic.

Dr. Karen Lawson, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor at the Ministry of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor, discussed the importance of ending unhealthy relationships.

Unhealthy or 'poisony' relationships are considered an unpleasant relationship and bring more sadness than happiness to a person. Usually, unhealthy relationships run slower and there is no progress for better, "said Dr. Lawson quoting Medical Express, Tuesday, November 21.

When a person is very negative, often complains and does not have a healthy or optimistic perspective on life or the world. And often demean yourself when you actually have an optimistic nature, is an example of an unhealthy relationship, Lawson said.

Another example Lawson gives is when you make friends with someone who just wants to do inappropriate or dangerous activities.

Moving into the realm of the family, Lawson said an example of an unhealthy relationship is when family members gather but certain discussions tend to be unproductive or fun. You may feel obliged to participate in this family meeting even though the interactions that occur are more negative.

To help end unhealthy relationships, Lawson offers the following suggestions:

Lawson emphasized the importance of periodically evaluating whether your relationship is still positive and fun. With a busy daily schedule, free time can be limited. So it would be better to spend time with someone, where you really enjoy the time with that person.

Most relationships must be reciprocal or balanced in terms of giving and receiving. Often feeling bad about yourself or the time spent with someone is a strong clue that you are in a toxic relationship," Lawson said.
