A journey called life
We experience countless encounters. Among these are wonderful connections that enrich our lives, such as heartwarming friendships, passionate love affairs, and business partnerships that enhance each other, while unfortunately there are also ``bad connections'' that give us negative energy to our minds and bodies and hinder our growth. These "bad connections" sometimes cleverly lurk in our lives, and sometimes it is hard to notice their existence. However, we always have the potential to head towards a better future, and it is essential to first understand the impact of "bad connections" and to recognize the signs of being freed from them.
In this article, we will delve deep into the concrete effects of "bad connections" and the four important precursors that appear when you are freed from them. Furthermore, after you notice these signs, we will explain in detail how to get started and guide you to a more fulfilling life. I hope this article will help readers deepen their self-understanding and build more positive relationships.
1. What is a bad relationship? Its multifaceted aspects and reasons to be aware of
"Bad relationships" refer to relationships that go beyond the level of mismatched personalities and different values, and that have a continuous negative impact on your mind and life. This "negative effect" is diverse, with examples such as the following:

Mental exhaustion - A relationship that can be significantly exhausted by mental energy, such as having to constantly worry about the other person's mood, having to keep listening to the other person's complaints and complaints, or a significant decrease in self-esteem due to the other person's words and actions.

A relationship in which a hindrance to personal growth, criticism or negative evaluation from others causes loss of motivation to try new things or becomes unable to believe in one's own potential.

Encourages dependency: A relationship in which one is excessively dependent on the other, hinders independence. This can lead to loss of self-determination and agency.

Physical effects: Relationships that can cause physical discomfort, such as insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, and indigestion due to constant stress.

A relationship in which financial exploitation, financial demands, wastefulness, or economically exploited.

Social isolation, jealousy and constraints from others limit interactions with other friends and family, resulting in social isolation.
These effects can sometimes progress in complex and gradually. As a result, it is often late to realize that there is a "bad connection." The following cases are particularly important to note:

Bad relationships in intimate relationships - Bad relationships lie not only intimate relationships such as lovers and friends, but also in deeply rooted relationships such as family, relatives, and parent-child relationships. It can be hard to realize that the relationship is unhealthy to you, due to the stereotype that it is because you are close friends or the sense of responsibility that you are a relative.

A cleverly hidden "bad relationship" - In some cases, someone who appears to be "good people" at first glance may actually be dominant or trying to take advantage of you. In these cases, the other person will be clever and try to control you, making it difficult to realize that he is being used.

"Bad relationships" can erode our minds and bodies and narrow our lives. Therefore, realizing "bad connections" and being freed from them is a very important step in our lives as a happier and more fulfilling life.
2. Four signs of bad connections - psychological changes and concrete signs
Liberation from "bad connections" does not necessarily occur as a dramatic event. Often it progresses slowly and unnoticed. However, in the process, unique changes can occur in our minds and actions. Below we will explain in more detail the four typical signs.
2.1. Feelings of irritability and anger fade - Signs of change in the heart and liberation
If you used to be a person who was irritated or angry at the other person's words and actions, but these feelings gradually fade away, this may be a sign that the "bad relationship" is approaching the end. This suggests that our subconscious is beginning to prepare to "let go" the relationship with the other person.

Slowing emotional responses - Previously, he was hypersensitive to the other person's small words and actions, but gradually he began to easily conquer them by saying, "It's always the same."

The waves of emotions subside - In the past, emotions were violently shaken by the other person's words and actions, but gradually the waves of emotions became calmer and I was able to stay calm.
This change is not merely "familiar." It means a significant change of mind that you are ready to be free from that relationship. A slower emotional response means that you are now able to maintain your inner peace without being swayed by the other person's emotions.
2.2. Bringing the feeling that "it's okay even if this person is not here" - Developing independence and restoring self-esteem
While we are in a "bad relationship," we tend to depend on the other person and become obsessed with their existence. However, as the relationship approaches its end, a strong sense of independence begins to develop, saying, "I'm fine even without this person."

Decreased dependency: Previously, people needed help and approval from others, but gradually they began to feel confident that they could do it on their own.

Restore your self-esteem - The self-esteem that was lost due to criticism and negative evaluations from others will be restored, allowing you to re-recognize your own worth.

Establishing agency - Previously, you would follow the other person's opinions and decisions, but gradually you will be able to take your own opinions and make decisions on your own.

This change shows you that you are freed from that relationship and ready to carve out your life on your own. Growing independence and restoring self-esteem is an important energy to guide you to the next stage.
2.3. No more understanding of the other person's feelings - a shift in values and changes in relationships
If you used to understand the other person's thoughts and feelings in a way that makes you feel like you're picking up, but gradually you start to feel like you don't understand why you're saying something like that" or "I can't understand why you're acting like that," this may be a sign that the gap in values and ways of thinking between you and the other person is becoming more and more pronounced.

Lack of empathy - Previously, you could be able to empathize with someone else's story, but gradually you may feel that it doesn't matter or you may no longer understand the other person's feelings.

If the physical and psychological distance increases, such as having frequent contact with each other or having many opportunities to meet up, gradually becoming less likely to stop contacting the other person or having difficulty deciding on the plans to meet, this may be a sign that a "bad relationship" is approaching the end.

Reduced frequency of contact: Previously, we were contacting each other frequently, but gradually the frequency of contact has decreased and we are beginning to be delayed in replying.

Disagreements in schedules: Previously, a smooth meeting schedule has become difficult to decide, but it is increasingly difficult to decide, or the event is cancelled just before the event.

Distorted time sense, distorted time sense with the other person, delayed to the appointment time, or the other person suddenly changed plans, causing each other to become unable to match their schedule.

Psychological sense of distance - Even when we meet, we no longer enjoy ourselves as we used to, and we start to act in a way that is somewhat polite to others.
This change suggests that an invisible wall is beginning to be created between you and the other person. An increased physical and psychological distance can lead to a natural end to the relationship.
