After having a good day at work, do you ever feel hesitant to come home knowing that your partner is there?  Do you suddenly feel stressed or overwhelmed by the thought of spending time with your partner, to the point where you would rather stay at work than be at home?  This might be the sign that you are dating toxic women, and if you are still unsure, then you are in for a special treat; in this podcast episode, Apollonia Ponti delves into the topic of recognizing toxic behaviors in women, presenting 13 distinct signs that serve as clear indicators to avoid that person.  Apollonia has worked with many clients and has seen high-valued men overlook the toxic traits of women and try to justify their actions. But in this podcast episode, Apollonia offers valuable insights for those currently dating or in relationships, highlighting that developing toxic traits is a gradual process rather than an abrupt transformation in relationships.  Apollonia's practical advice will help you identify toxic women and how to respond to these toxic behaviors appropriately. She will help you know if you’re in a toxic relationship by looking at their inconsistencies and mental games surrounded by their negativity.  So, if you are struggling with a toxic woman, how to identify if someone is toxic, and how to start moving on from a toxic relationship, this is the podcast episode for you! Key points in this episode: 1:11 - A person with toxic traits doesn't become toxic overnight. Apollonia explains why people become toxic, often stemming from childhood or trauma. 2:04 - They are a cloud of negativity. They will bring down the friendly mood around you, a familiar sign people look at. 2:33 - Toxic women have controlling behavior. They will want to control every aspect of your life, down to how you dress or even who you talk to. 3:01 - She takes a lack of accountability. Instead of owning their faults, they will blame someone else and not see that they are causing problems. 3:38 - Jealously and possessive. This behavior can make you feel suffocated in the relationship and often leave you with trust issues as you enter a different relationship. 4:12 -  A lack of empathy. Don't expect sympathy from toxic people; they will brush off your feelings. They will make your problem look small and won't even acknowledge your frustration. 4:38 - They are gaslighting you. This is a bit difficult to see if you are being manipulated. However, the typical signs you have being gaslit are feeling drained and confused after talking to or confronting them. 5:23 - Being constantly dramatic. Apollonia provides an example of a client she had and the relationship he was in, saying that she would always cry when he confronted her about the things he didn't like. 5:38 - Inconsistent behavior. One moment, they are loveling and affectionate, and then later, they are mad and aggressive with you. You always feel that you are walking on eggshells. 6:08 - Toxic people will try to cut you off from family and friends. They will try to isolate you to depend on them; this is dangerous and should be discussed more. 6:25 - They are emotionally or physically abused. This is the worst trait of a toxic woman; they will belittle or try to hit you. This can result in you having trauma in the relationship. 7:02 - An unhealthy sense of entitlement. Toxic women (and people) believe they should be catered to everything and the center of your attention. 7:22 - Always crossing your boundaries. When you're setting your boundaries, they will try to push it and cross those you have set. She will always make you try to say yes to things you are uncomfortable with.  "I love Apollonia; her tips have helped me with my dating!" <---- If this sounds like you, please consider following me and rating/reviewing my show!
