Why do people like toxic relationships so much?

I be seeing people online glamorizing it, especially through that one TikTok challenge 

Like I can’t imagine the appeal lol. And this isn’t towards wanting to stay with someone who happens to have toxic traits, that’s semi different that I could understand 

I mean the people who straight up want that as a future relationship goal

idk i think a lot of people come from an already damaged family so they don't know how a healthy relationship looks like. toxis is the "normal" for them. and maybe they want it because this is what they know, this is what feels "safe" just because a healthy relationship is unknown.

Idk what is the specifics ppl r glamorizing but i have seen ppl say ab fictional couple thats toxic (whixh i assume goes over their head) is goals/makes them swoon..

I assume these ppl lack experience dating or just have low standards hhh. And i feel like jealousy is oftem portrayed as cute or endearinf by ppl but nah tbh its clingy and obsessive...unhealthy tbh

Personally relationship wise im either not loved enough or loved too much. And i havemt enjoyed it. Ive been cheated on several times and the 1 relationship i had that i thought was "the one" and could work spirsled cuzshe invade my privacy and expected too much from me like idk how to desc briefly but i csnt be someone to text for hrs everyday so yea it was uncomfortable to be too loved too...neither of these r enjoyable. And i def donglt enjoy being huet by someone ofc hhh. I really dont get it. And i have all time low selfbworrh so what possess pplbto want a bad relationship?? That much 😭😭

Trigger warning: mention of abusive relationship

They probably come from an abusive family or lived through trauma in the past. It's the only way I see it but there are certainly other reasons. For those who didn't experience any abuse/trauma in the past, I personally don't get it. I was stuck in a very violent relationship, it did a lot of damage onto me and my family. It changed me as a person. I don't understand people who romanticize toxic / abusive relationship. Why would you want to live through this much pain? I find it insensitive toward victims.

I don't know what kind of people are around you and where you read about such relationships . Personally, I found my soulmate online and I love being together with her. We don't have any toxic moments in our relationship. Although it could still be because we have outgrown those moments. I never thought my relationship would be so great, and we met on an online dating site among other things.

Oof, late answer

People don't "like" toxic relationships; they dislike being alone and convince themselves that their relationship isn't as bad as it really is because being honest with themselves would lead them to a breakup, and that would mean being single again.

They're so terrified of being single that they'd rather lie to themselves and be with someone that treats them like shit. 

Embrace singlehood. In Spanish there's an expression "mejor solo que mal acompañado" which translates to "better alone than in bad company". Only accept company if it isn't hurtful.
