How can I identify toxic family relationships?

Identifying toxic family relationships involves recognizing patterns of behavior that are harmful or draining. What specific behaviors are you noticing?

I often feel anxious and unsupported when I'm around my family.

Feeling anxious and unsupported can be a sign of toxicity. Do you experience this with specific family members or in certain situations?

It's mostly with my parents. They often criticize me and dismiss my feelings.

Criticism and dismissal of feelings are common traits in toxic relationships. Have you tried discussing your feelings with them?

I've tried, but it usually ends in an argument.

That sounds really difficult. It might be helpful to set boundaries or seek support from a therapist to navigate these conversations.
