Am I toxic, test: 10 signs that confirm you areâŠ
1 â You judge all the time

2- You donât listen
Listening to others is important. It shows that youâre interested in them! However, if youâre a toxic person, you donât care! People with an overinflated ego donât listen and just want to talk about themselves. Theyâre desperate to be the center of attention, so they can boast about their âqualitiesâ.
đ A toxic person nods their head and mumbles, but doesnât really engage in the conversation. Yet, they do want to talk about themselves!
3 â Youâre demanding
Demanding things you canât give yourself is total hypocrisy: âDo what I say, not what I do!â In general, toxic people have extremely high expectations of others, but they definitely donât do half of what they ask for.
đ For example: When it comes to being faithful in a relationship, a toxic person will demand it, but wonât necessarily put it into practiceâŠ
4 â You lie regularly
Lying is part of being human, everyone can lie! Not least to avoid hurting someone, but in general, a toxic person lies to get things their own way. They want to make themselves look good through their lies! If someone has already caught you in a lie, and youâve tried to make them believe it is true, itâs a bad signâŠ

5 â You always want to be right
Of course, itâs not a pathology to want to be right, either. But when everyone tells you that youâre wrong, you should admit your mistake. Especially when you fight and fight because you consider that your point of view is the only one that counts, itâs not healthy for others. A conversation or a debate isnât a challenge to be won, itâs an exchange.
6 â You never apologize
If youâve ever asked yourself, âWhy canât I apologize?â, you may be toxic for others. Indeed, it shows that you think youâre always right or that itâs never your fault. Itâs important to recognize your mistakes to others and take a step back from your actions.
â Some people have the reflex to apologize even when theyâve done nothing wrong. The natural reflex of toxic people is to lie, not to apologize.
7 â You use irony too much
Using double entendres and irony, subtly putting others down⊠Here is a summary of toxic behaviors that make others miserable. This can be embodied by âteasingâ that is the main mode of communication for this type of person.
đ¶ For example: When someone adopts an animal, instead of being happy for them, you say, âYour dog is ugly, why would you want to get a pug? And youâll have loads of problems withâŠâ Typical!
8 â Youâre passive-aggressive
Instead of spreading love around you, you spread hate. When you do everything to transmit your malice to others while avoid responsibility for conflicts, thatâs being toxic! Revenge is also part of passive-aggressive behavior. Instead of telling someone they hurt you, you seek revenge to hurt them too.
â Real emotions are always hidden in a toxic person, you never know what is going on inside them.
9 â Youâre your own priority
Wanting to make yourself your priority and cultivating self-love is important for building self-confidence. But when you put yourself first without ever helping anyone or simply listening, thatâs toxicity. You have to be interested in others to be a caring person: asking how the other person is doing, offering them your help, etc.
â Narcissistic perverts are toxic people who always want to be the center of attention by making everything about them!
