Hot Take on Relationships: How TV Series Taught Us To Romanticize Toxic Love (Twitter Thread by a Psychologist)
We don't know about you guys, but the older we get the more we realize that the romanticized version of relationships we were fed as kids is nothing but a big fat lie. Turns out, there is no happily ever after or prince charming but instead, just two flawed individuals doing their best to try and make it work.
See, fairytales always made love seem like a magical land filled with rainbows and unicorns. But in reality, it's more of a rollercoaster ride with ups and just as many downs… with the occasional vomiting. And then we grew up a little more and started watching romcoms that romanticized the $hit out of toxic love and the lack of emotional intelligence. They made us believe that co-dependency, jealousy, and drama were all signs of love. When in reality, they're bright red flags.
With that being said, we present to you a Twitter thread written by a psychologist about all the ways TV shows taught us to romanticize toxic love.
