You or me? Who's at TOXIC?

A book that I picked because I was hoping to give you an answer in my life: Who are you or me at TOXIC?

The book is divided into 3 main parts to help us understand and cope with "toxic" relationships.

Understand how toxic people act in the roles of people and relationships that affect our hearts.

Explore various toxic groups of people and places, including exhausting and energy-pumping situations.

How to Cope, Avoid, or Withdraw with Priority on Protecting Your Own Mental Health

Written and deleted three times because the review became personal. 🤣

Take a deep breath. Mid review. 😤😤😤

A clear, simple language with real-life examples, some of which are slightly foreign, some of which are repeated, but it also helps you to identify people who are emotionally trapped and how to get out of that cycle.

It must be kept in mind that we can be the doers and perpetrators of negative behavior depending on the circumstances.

Find a book that confirms it's a victim and you'll see that we're predators.

Read until the last page still does not answer who you or I are at TOXIC.

Goodreads give 3.4, we give 3.5.

You or Me Who at TOXIC Bingo Publishing

... Read moreจากที่อ่าน ‘เธอหรือฉัน ใครกันที่ TOXIC’ เราว่าหนังสือช่วย “จัดหมวดหมู่” ให้เห็นภาพมากขึ้นว่า ท็อกซิกคืออะไร และคน toxic คือคนแบบไหน (รวมถึงบางครั้ง…เราก็อาจทำพฤติกรรมท็อกซิกโดยไม่รู้ตัวเหมือนกัน) ท็อกซิก (toxic) ในบริบทความสัมพันธ์ สำหรับเราคือ “รูปแบบการปฏิสัมพันธ์ที่ทำให้ใจเราแย่ลงเรื่อยๆ” เช่น รู้สึกผิดตลอดเวลา เหนื่อยล้า ถูกบีบให้ต้องเป็นคนผิด ถูกลดคุณค่า หรือโดนดูดพลังจนไม่เป็นตัวเอง จุดสำคัญคือมันไม่ใช่แค่ทะเลาะกันครั้งสองครั้ง แต่เป็นแพตเทิร์นที่เกิดซ้ำและทำร้ายสุขภาพจิต แล้วคน toxic คือคนแบบไหน? จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว (และสิ่งที่หนังสือพาเรามอง) เราสังเกตได้บ่อยๆ ประมาณนี้ 1) ชอบบิดเรื่องให้เราเป็นคนผิด (gaslight) พูดประมาณ “เธอคิดมากไปเอง” จนเราสงสัยความรู้สึกตัวเอง 2) ควบคุม/ก้าวก่าย เช่น ต้องรายงานตลอด ห้ามคบคนนั้นคนนี้ ทำให้เราใช้ชีวิตลำบาก 3) ให้ความรักแบบมีเงื่อนไข ถ้าทำตามถึงจะดี ไม่ทำตามก็ลงโทษด้วยการเงียบ หาย หรือประชด 4) ดูดพลังด้วยดราม่าและความขัดแย้ง ทำให้ทุกเรื่องกลายเป็นเรื่องใหญ่ และเราต้องเป็นคนแก้ตลอด 5) ไม่รับผิดชอบต่อผลกระทบ ขอโทษแบบผ่านๆ แต่ทำซ้ำ หรือโยนว่า “ก็เพราะเธอ” อีกด้านที่หนังสือทำให้เราสะดุ้งคือ บางสถานการณ์เราเองก็อาจ “ท็อกซิก” ได้ เช่น ใช้อารมณ์ประชดประชัน พูดแทงใจตอนโกรธ เงียบใส่เพื่อให้เขารู้สึกผิด หรือคาดหวังให้เขาอ่านใจเรา สิ่งเหล่านี้ไม่ได้แปลว่าเราเป็นคนแย่ถาวร แต่มันคือสัญญาณให้กลับมาดูตัวเองและปรับวิธีสื่อสาร วิธีรับมือที่เราลองทำแล้วช่วยได้ (แบบไม่ดราม่าเกิน) - ตั้งขอบเขตให้ชัด: บอกตรงๆ ว่าอะไรรับได้/รับไม่ได้ และถ้าเกิดขึ้นจะทำอะไรต่อ (เช่น ขอหยุดคุยเมื่อเริ่มเสียงดัง) - แยก “ข้อเท็จจริง” ออกจาก “ความรู้สึกผิด”: ถ้าถูกโยนความผิด ลองเขียนสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นจริง 3 ข้อ เพื่อไม่หลงกับคำพูดบิดเบือน - ลดการอธิบายยาวๆ กับคนที่ไม่ฟัง: บางคนยิ่งอธิบายยิ่งถูกใช้เป็นช่องโหว่ เราเลือกสั้น ชัด และจบ - สังเกตหลังเจอเขา: ถ้าทุกครั้งที่คุยแล้วใจพัง เหนื่อย ปวดท้อง นอนไม่หลับ นั่นคือข้อมูลสำคัญ - ถ้าต้องถอนตัว ให้ทำทีละขั้น: ลดการปะทะ ลดช่องทางติดต่อ หาคนกลาง/เพื่อนที่ไว้ใจ และโฟกัสการปกป้องสุขภาพจิตตัวเอง สรุปแบบคนอ่านรีวิว: หนังสือเล่มนี้อาจไม่ได้ให้คำตอบฟันธงว่า “เธอหรือฉัน ใครกันที่ TOXIC” แต่ช่วยให้เราเห็นโครงสร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่เป็นพิษได้ชัดขึ้น และพอเห็นชัด เราจะเลือกดูแลตัวเองได้มั่นคงกว่าเดิม

Coming out of a toxic relationship seriously messes with how you view love. I remember being in something that constantly had me questioning myself, walking on eggshells, and thinking that chaos meant love. So when I got into a healthy (current) relationship, it didn’t feel “normal” at first.
