those who have a deep belief in their own unworthiness often find themselves in relationships with those who are more than happy to agree with them on this point and treat them poorly. Is this person “toxic”? Well, yes. But getting rid of the toxic person will not get rid of the negative thought patterns and beliefs that invited that person into your life in the first place. Have you ever noticed how often people fall into the same situations with the same kind of people over and over? Unresolved mental and emotional patterns cannot help but become behavioral and relational patterns.
