Is your relationship limiting you? Breathe? Has your confidence blown? Have you ever thought that you would be better off leaving such a relationship and becoming a single person. A free person!
Often, the subjective feeling of loneliness can cause you not to think when entering a new relationship. However, sometimes it is better to be alone than with a partner who does not give us enough attention, love and emotions.
Never forget that there is nothing wrong with being alone! In a toxic relationship, you become someone else. Break this toxic cycle, be you.
1. You must please only yourself
When you're in a bad relationship, you feel the need to overcompensate. Your mind convinces you that the pain in the relationship is due to something you are not doing well enough to please your partner. Continually catering to someone else's needs can be completely exhausting, especially if that someone is wrong.

2. You have all the freedom you want
Boundaries are important in all relationships. However, it can be suffocating to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't respect boundaries and limits your freedom. If you are single, you are free to do what you want, go where you want, and talk to whomever you want without having to explain it to anyone.
Unfortunately, too many people are afraid of being alone and fall into toxic relationships just to avoid being alone.
3. You are not taken for granted
Almost every relationship seems perfect at first. They are madly in love and can't get enough of each other. But in a bad relationship, your partner begins to neglect you and take you for granted. You feel unworthy and hurt!

4. You can find happiness within yourself
Everyone deserves to be loved, recognized and happy. If a relationship can't provide you with these feelings, maybe you shouldn't be in it. Maybe the relationship you should be putting your energy into is the one with yourself.
When you're single, you have plenty of time to reassess your priorities and do things that benefit your own happiness. You also have the opportunity to find out what brings you happiness.
5. Become confident
If you've been in a one-sided, unhealthy relationship, you'd know how misbehavior can damage your self-esteem. It makes you feel worthless and insignificant. And that's definitely not how you should feel in any relationship under any circumstances. You should never compromise your self-worth for anyone, remember that!

And when you learn to love yourself, you will be able to see who is there for the long haul and who is looking for something temporary. The right person will bring out the best in you, not stress you out.
