“You’re in a deficit. In these relationships, there’s no way the scales are balanced. You’re in a deficit and you can't be at your best from a place of inner lack.” [14:53] –Taylor Chandler
“If you are in truly a toxic relationship, there’s no way that your inside is being filled up. You’re going to consistently feel like you’re lacking something or something is being taken from you...that you’re pouring out and you’re not getting poured back into.” [15:38] –Taylor Chandler
“A toxic person always feels negatively about themselves. People that feel happy about themselves don't go around doing this kind of thing. They don't have this sort of effect on people. They don't leave people feeling confused. They don't leave people feeling less than. They don't leave people wondering about how you feel about them. People that feel good about themselves, don't have that effect on others.” [16:50] –Taylor Chandler
“If we only get feedback about ourselves from people we surround ourselves with, I can't sustain a healthy, happy, positive view of myself if the person I’m most intimate with has a negative view of me because they have a negative view of themselves. I can't achieve that level of self love as I’m hoping to get.” [17:24] –Taylor Chandler
“You have to take responsibility for what happens next. Think about it like if you knew for certain that no one was going to save you, what would you do next?” [19:35] –Taylor Chandler
“What’s happening when we’re in this mental fog of a truly toxic dynamic...when you start to think about what am I really missing out on? You realize it's just a fantasy and a hope of the potential of what you thought that this relationship was going to be but it's not that.” [22:05] –Taylor Chandler
