7 Types of Toxic Crushes You Should Avoid

When you have feelings for someone,

it is easy to see everything they do in a positive light.

However, not everyone you fall for is someone

you should consider having a relationship with.

Here are 7 types of toxic crushes you should avoid.

1. The Disappearer

This is the person who talks to you frequently

but then suddenly vanishes,

leaving you on “read”

or avoiding any opportunity to see you in person.

They may have mixed feelings or realized they like you, but instead of rejecting or accepting you, they choose the easy way out: disappearing.

Whether they are uncomfortable rejecting people or afraid of commitment, you deserve someone who considers your feelings.

2. The Boaster (El Alardeador)

Does your crush brag to their friends about your feelings for them?

Do they give you false hope just to feed their ego?.

They might know about your feelings and keep you around even if they don’t feel the same way because your admiration makes them feel good about themselves.
This is emotionally immature and can lead to emotional problems for you because the dynamic is about them, not you.

3. The Humiliator

This person takes jokes too far,

to the point where others are physically disgusted,

and refuses to apologize or change their behavior.

If your crush humiliates others to look better, they likely have self-esteem or confidence issues.

In a relationship, you could easily become the target of these issues.

4. The Bully

Is your crush rude to employees, strangers, or your friends?.

Even if they are nice to you, being rude to others is a major red flag.

Falling for a “bad boy” or “bad girl” who treats others poorly often leads to suffering because there is no guarantee they won’t treat you the same way eventually.

5. The Cheater

If people, especially their exes,

tell you that your crush has cheated before,

it might be a good idea not to date them.

A study found that someone who has cheated on a partner is three times more likely to cheat again in their next relationship compared to someone who hasn’t.
Constant cheating is a sign of commitment conflicts that they need to resolve before having a successful relationship.

6. The User (El Aprovechador)

Does your crush ask you for favors

without giving anything in return?.

If they suspect you like them, they might ask for even more favors because they know you will see it as an opportunity to get closer to them.

If you find yourself constantly falling for people who use you, therapy might help break these patterns.

7. The Isolator

Does your crush constantly ask you to change your plans with others

or try to turn you against your friends and family?.

This is a huge red flag that can lead to an emotionally abusive relationship.
If you see signs that they are trying to control who you talk to or what you do, you should stop any type of relationship with them.

Conclusion

Falling in love should be fun, not destructive to your physical

or mental health.

Sometimes it is necessary to overcome your feelings for someone

if they are emotionally immature or show these red flags.
