5. You are loyal.
Loyalty is a good thing. You try to stay true to the people you love and always be there for them. If someone starts telling you that your friend isn’t a good person, you don’t believe them, why? Because they’re your friend. You’re genuine and sincere with them and they’re genuine and sincere with you. That’s how friendships work right? Well yes, but only if your friend isn’t a toxic manipulator.

You see, toxic people love someone who’s loyal and sincere, why? It’s quite simple really. Sincere people can’t imagine someone they love and care for is manipulating and gaslighting them, so toxic people can do whatever they want to you and you won’t ever doubt them. In fact, if someone ever tells you that you’re being manipulated, you won’t believe them because of how loyal you are to your friend and how much you trust them.
Toxic people are pros at taking advantage of this trust and using your good heart and loyalty against you. Learn to set boundaries. Be compassionate, loving, and loyal, but always remember that if something or someone is messing with your mental health, then it’s probably not good for you no matter how genuine it seems. Your mental health comes first and if someone is disturbing it, then that person isn’t right for you.
