Men and women have their fair share of unpleasant qualities. Toxic masculinity exists in various forms, and those who engage in such behavior deserve to be shamed. 

This also applies to “nice girls,” women who are anything but. They’re the types who escalate arguments, act unreasonably, and feel entitled to special treatment. They may initially seem normal, until their true colors show sooner or later. 

Check out these screenshots of text exchanges involving these women. Scroll through and see which of these unhinged traits you’ve encountered so far. 

We also spoke with Amanda Ann Gregory, a licensed trauma psychotherapist and author of You Don’t Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own, and Amie Leadingham, a relationship coach and dating expert. They were kind enough to share their insights about the link between trauma and toxic behavior.

Except a bear is an animal who is just following instincts, whereas a man is a human being equipped with reason and free will, who *should* realise their attention is unwanted.

    Ever? You must really have a hard time finding plummers, electricians or so, that allows you to do thing via phone guiding 😉 Or only male strangers? Does the companies let you choose workers with the right private parts? It may depend on area, but there are plenty of valid reasons a stranger can have a errand in your home and not plan to use it for criminal intentions. I al surpriced you mention dates as a"even" as they are what I would be MOST suspicious about, not least Pretty much anyone else that visits my house has more interest in the houses plumbings and not mine, but a date come with some sort of relationship attentions that can cause more risks.

    I've been sexually harassed and touched by women before. The way they play off their behaviour as harmless and fun is disgusting. It wasn't a 00s teen movie. It was my life while I was trying to do my job. I didn't welcome it, nor did I want it. Not feeling able to respond appropriately for fear of making myself seem like the aggressor made me feel powerless and like I had to go along with it. There is plenty of sick stuff men do, and I won't diminish that for a second. But it's not about absolving men, rather that there are plenty of women who need to be more accountable for their actions.

    I often answer the door in my long pyjama bottoms and t-shirt. If I'm expecting a delivery though? Just to address that part first, I always put a bra on if I'm expecting a delivery. A few days ago an OVA energy representative came over unexpectedly. I opened the door a little bit, asked to see his ID and then said, "Please wait a minute. I'm still in my pyjamas.". Anyway... Yes I can see how answering the door in lingerie can be viewed as "sexually aggressive". She shouldn't have asked the guy "What do you think of my outfit?"... If we swap the genders? A male answers the door to a female delivery rider in just his tight fitting boxers/underpants asking the same thing? There'd be major upcry and rightly so. So do I believe that she's the "victim" here? No. She shouldn't have listened to her "friends". I feel sorry for the pizza guy. Males can be sexually harassed just as seriously as females.

    The impact of trauma, particularly PTSD, has been linked with toxic behavior. The National Center for PTSD describes these as “stress reactions” that may go away over time. 

    According to Amanda, these behaviors are typically a product of a person’s reaction to feeling emotionally unsafe in relationships. This applies to many trauma survivors, who may or may not meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis.

    I've never used an alarm clock. I have an inner clock and will wake up within 5 minutes of a time I "set." Like if I have to catch a plane. The other 99.9% of the time I wake up when rested, go to sleep when tired. But everyday I have a set of goals I want to accomplish. How can you have NO plans and what would be your justification for that "lifestyle?"

    As for female toxic behavior, Amanda attributes it to patriarchal societies like the United States. As she explained, their actions may be a way to keep themselves safe in a relationship. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “For example, a heterosexual woman who experienced intimate partner violence may unknowingly engage in actions that sabotage her relationships with men, or she may cater to men to keep them happy to promote her safety,” she stated, adding that patriarchal societies equally inflict the same harm upon men.

    Most experts would recommend professional help for trauma survivors. However, not all methods would be effective. For Amanda, talk therapy may not be the solution because, as she explained, it’s not developed to access the regions of the brain “where trauma lives and thrives.” 

    “Instead, I recommend bottom-up therapies that address these impacted areas, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Animal-Assisted Therapy, and Attachment Therapy.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Amie also recommends group therapy, as hearing other people’s experiences helps break through isolation. However, it all boils down to finding a trustworthy therapist. 

    “Someone who offers both compassion for what they've been through and gentle accountability for changing harmful patterns,” she stated.

    However, a toxic individual likely won’t agree to professional help if they don’t recognize the problem. As Amie points out, knowing the root of the problem and having the genuine desire to change can absolutely break the toxic cycles and build better relationships.

    Trauma survivors and people who grew up in an unhealthy environment aren’t necessarily bound to repeat the toxic cycle. Prevention is always better than cure, and Amie advises seeking out people in healthy relationships and noticing what emotional maturity looks like. 

    “The goal is to learn how to deal with emotions rather than bottling them up,” she explained. “It takes work, but people can build better relationship skills than they grew up seeing.”

Be independent, be strong and not have to depend on anyone but to have this ugly personality is just wow. You can be so beautiful/handsome but then act like this and it automatically makes you a very ugly person.

    Many people call colds "the flu." My ex always called every cold "the flu" until he actually had the real flu. We had it at the same time. The fever was unbelievable. We could barely make it to the kitchen to get fluids, then barely made it back to bed. I've had a flu shot every year since, and that was >50 years ago. If I had the flu today at my age, it would straight up k**l me. The Spanish Flu killed millions in early 20th century, and I know why.

    Yes! Many decades ago, I tried to get into playing it with my then-boyfriend. His college roomie was into Ultimate Frisbee (which is ALSO incredibly hard/intense) and wanted to take up disc golf. Just the walking to grab your thrown discs from the basket (or the tree/bush/grass when you miss!) is enough to make disc golf into a sport! XD

And also, a lot of parents play Pokémon with their kids, which is awesome. Heck, I still play a ton of computer games, I read comic books, manga, and graphic novels, I still have the stuffed animal I've had since I was 5, I'll read children's books if they seem interesting enough... this person would probably hate me XD

I live next door to her/my mom and sometimes she will barge into my house yelling "WHY HAVEN'T YOU ANSWERED MY TEXT?" I'll look up from whatever chore I'm doing - vacuuming, washing dishes, scooping litterboxes, etc. or I'll even be outside taking care of my garden - and I literally won't have my phone on me. She cannot fathom that I have the ability to put down my phone and walk away from it for more than a minute XD Especially when I have something I have to do! I've also been elbows-deep in my van's engine before (grease literally up to my shoulders) and she's come over to yell at me for "not picking up my phone".

    Wow, I just love how she jumped to 'I'm autistic' to explain her short answers. 🙄 Unfortunately, being a b!tch does not equal autism. Autism comes in many different & varied flavours. I'm autistic & if I write anything less than a novel in my messages/texts/emails, then there's something wrong with me.

    One of those people who fish for compliments by over-stating their 'faults'. If you don't lavish them with praise to compensate, then you 'obviously don't care'. It's VERY draining.

    Reading the whole post it actually starts with what reads like her just explaining she wanted to be more than friends and needed some space, but then holy FH, it goes sideways.

    Holy shiz. As someone who watched my mom physically abuse my father for my entire childhood, including cutting his arms and his back with a kitchen knife, I want to actually scream at anyone who says something like "lol give him a stab scar to show ownership!" Women *can* be the abus!ve partner in a relationship. I LOATHE people who think that women "can't" be abus!ve and that they're always automatically the victims simply because they're women.
