I think we find ourselves attracted to toxic relationships because we have a deep down inside we have a feeling of responsibility towards somebody and we want to mend ourselves by mending them. We want to become their "hero".
We want to save that somebody. We want somebody that no matter who they are we are willing to accept them and defend them.
Usually the more people telling you to stay away the more we find ourself closer to the person.
If you find yourself in toxic relationship take a hard look at yourself, it you who has the problem, it is just an indication that you need to do a lot of work on yourself.
