They Don't Offer Any Support

One hallmark of a toxic relationship is if they don't offer any support. Toxic relationships are not always actively abusive. In fact, sometimes both individuals have negative effects on each other. But in a toxic relationship, at least one party ends up feeling more drained than supported by the dynamic. It's an imbalance that causes a great deal of negativity and stress. Lack of support is one of the most common factors contributing to this. A friend might constantly seek emotional support from another after fights with others or life stresses, but when it comes time for them to provide support, they might not make any effort or appear to have any interest in helping. Different individuals have different ways of showing support. Not everyone has a natural instinct for how to give helpful advice or offer comforting gestures. But some individuals will show support through standing up for someone else or offering companionship so that person won't be isolated. If someone makes absolutely no effort to support another person, especially if they seem to be sabotaging them, they might be a toxic presence.
