1. Based on the toxic relationships video that you watched (above), discuss at least two specific ways (that were mentioned in the video) in which a relationship might be considered toxic. Have you ever experienced any of these warning signs in your relationships (including friends, family, partner, etc.)? If so, briefly discuss. If not, briefly explain the healthy aspects of your relationships.
2. The video (above) also mentions setting boundaries. How well have you been able to establish and enforce boundaries in your relationships (briefly explain)? Do others treat you the way you would like to be treated? If not, what might you be able to do differently to make that happen? If so, what have you been doing to make this happen?
3. Follow the directions within the Questionnaire. (https://internal.psychology.illinois.edu/~rcfraley/measures/ecrritems.htm) Based on the results from the Questionnaire, explain the degree to which your relationships are affected by anxiety and avoidance (state your scores for both of them within this response), and give at least one personal example to support your explanation.
4. Overall, how are your relationships (including family, friends, partner, co-workers, etc.) affecting your health...positively or negatively (briefly explain)? Ask yourself if you feel supported, satisfied, appreciated, respected, accepted, loved, etc. Do certain relationships tend to make you feel drained, stressed out, or badly about yourselfLastly, discuss if there are any changes you would like to make in your relationships or how you relate/connect with others.

Th two ways, which may be considered as toxic in a relationship is being used as a doormat, giving more than what we receive.
Yes, I had experienced warning signs of in a relationship with my partner. I was treated with no respect, my opinions didn't matter and I was put down and mocked at. I started to set boundaries and speak out. When it didn't work, I eventually moved away from the relationship.
