5 Differences Between True Love And Toxic Love

There are 5 key differences between true love and toxic love in this humble author’s mind. Let’s dig right in.

In true love, the development of self is most important. Both parties should want the best for one another.

In toxic love, the primary focus is on the relationship itself, sometimes obsessing over how the two people involved interface.

In true love, there is comfort in separate interests. We can have our own friends and meaningful relationships outside of our romantic relationships. We can pursue interests and ideas without fear of reprimand.
In toxic love, there is total involvement in one another’s lives. One can’t go anywhere without the other. This is codependency.

In true love, there’s no struggle in embracing the individuality of your partner.
In toxic love, there is an obsession with trying to change your partner into someone you’d rather be with instead of loving them for who they are.

In true love, intimacy is a free choice that grows from love and trust, caring and friendship.
In toxic love, sex is something you feel pressured over due to fear, insecurity, and feeling as though you have to conform to the sexual desires of your partner.

In true love, every conversation is constructive, trying to understand and help, or convey affection to your partner.
In toxic love, conversations are intended to blame, defend, or manipulate your partner.

Palmistry : Know People By Looking At Their Palms

When you meet somebody new, it can be fun to “check them out” using different techniques for character analysis. Palm reading is an age-old practice, and it can be a lot of fun as well. Here are some basic palmistry principles that are easy to learn, with a special emphasis on love, relationships, and attachment…

Which hand should you read?
One of the first questions people ask concerning palm reading is: Which hand do you look at? The answer is: Both, and It depends. Students of palmistry distinguish between the active and passive hand. A right-handed person’s active hand will be his or her right hand; and the left hand is considered the passive hand. Similarly, a left-handed person’s active hand is the left hand; and his or her passive hand is the right hand.

Which hand should you read?
Generally, the passive hand is read for inherited characteristics and potential. Look to the active hand for changes to these inherited traits. As a general rule, when the lines and markings on the active and passive hands are quite different, it shows a person who has actively worked toward self-development.

The size of the hand
Remember to consider the size of the hand relative to the size of the body. Generally, a large hand suggests a person who spends more time thinking than acting. A person with a relatively small hand is thought to be more active, spending less time thinking about what to do.
