Toxic People.

Toxic people.

Toxic people see your boundaries as revenge on them and think that you're nothing but a problem, when in reality, it's their toxic or abusive behaviours that led to those boundaries in the first place. They will never take accountability for their own actions, and they become angry, resentful, and hateful when you no longer accept the abuse, mistreatment, disrespect, rudeness, cruelty, or controlling behaviours. This is not revenge. It is part of self-care and recognizing your worth. When people feel free to hurt you, and do it over and over again with no remorse, they are showing you who they are, and that they aren't ever going to change.
