Chapter 2: What are the three traits that make someone instantly likable?
Well, I had watched it and then you watched it on your trip, which I was like, oh, what an interesting way to spend time on your vacation with you and your husband and your cute little hotel. We... Okay, so we just listened to... What is the podcast about? Love Tracked. Me and Patrick just finished that. Okay, so I slowly... Well, I don't know.
I feel like a lot of people are still learning about Love Trapped. I am listening to that one episode every two weeks because that's what I listened to at my last appointments with Amy. Oh, so you're behind it then. And so we are so desperate to finish this, but we both don't want to cheat on each other because Amy's into it, I'm into it, and it's like our thing.
And so she's like, okay, she'll send me a screenshot at the end of every appointment. She's like, this is where we left off. And so I am... taken that one every two weeks and I get to listen to it this week with her because I have an appointment but do you know what episode you're on yeah like the end of three or four oh How many are there? There's 12. Oh my gosh. Wait, what?
Okay, I thought there was probably five or six. You guys have got to find a different rhythm. Okay, we're going to have to listen to it on, we're talking so fast. Or maybe you guys listen to one episode together and then you listen to one episode while you wait to see each other again.
That could be a fair.
Because it's going to take forever. I know it's going to be Christmas before I'm done. What is crazy about that podcast is when you first start listening to it, you're like, I mean, that's why I would think it would only be a couple episodes. Like, how far could this really go? So it's going to get even crazy. OK, because when I posted about maternal instinct, someone sent me a message.
They're like, oh, my gosh, I just finished Love Trap like these two ladies. And I was like, I wouldn't even put these people in the same category. Well, I actually wouldn't either.
Yeah.
Because to me, she hasn't, I'm not to anything. I mean, of course, what she's doing to trap him is a little crazy, but I'm not to like super duper duper unhinged yet. Oh, no, you'll get there. She is super duper duper unhinged. There has to be like some stuff going on with her that we just don't know about. So like what's the mental, I know you can't diagnose them.

Chapter 3: How do toxic people test if they still have access to you?
was within him and you was not what you wanted. And so, he does kind of fall into like that, that message that he sent did kind of fall into some of this, where he's just poking to see like, will you respond?
But also what's crazy about that is sometimes people will give themselves away because he literally said in the message, that's not why I'm reaching out, but it was obviously why he was reaching out. It's like, I heard you guys broke up. Not that that's why I'm messaging you, but, uh, is it true? Yeah. Do you want to go out and get a drink? Like it is exactly why you're messaging.
So, but he, but that person also, I hope you don't mind me saying, but he also kind of poked a couple times while you were dating just to, I think he was trying to see if you guys were still dating and you didn't take the bait. So healthy. I try to be, but I'm not always perfect at it.
But all these are hard, especially if you have a relationship where if it's a toxic relationship anyway, there's been unhealthy patterns probably between both of you. And you might not see it. Or if the veil is starting to lift and then you do, then implementing some of these things or, sorry, recognizing some of these things they might be doing. is difficult at first.
But once you see it, you might not be able to unsee it. And then you have to hold your boundary. Yeah. I think that it would be harder for you to hold this boundary if you had certain feelings for that person. So yeah, it's easy for us to talk about this kind of stuff. And it's easy in hindsight to talk about these things.
But when you're in a situation, whether it's a friend or a romantic partner, especially I think a friend, And especially if you have a long relationship with that friend and you don't want to give up on that friend, it's hard to acknowledge that this is what they're doing and I have to cut the cord kind of. I have to stop playing this game because there's history there.
And it's not as easy as like they're toxic. It's like, well, this person has been with me through a lot of life. Yeah. Well, I think the big takeaway from the list is that they're not actually wondering if you're okay. And sometimes that's hard to accept.

Chapter 4: What tactics do toxic people use to manipulate others?
Like they're wondering if they're still welcome in your life or if you're over them yet and if there's a way. And then if you respond warmly or neutrally, that can signal to them that they still have access. If you hold firm and ignore them and They could escalate things. So warning with that. But they also could back off and then just go away, which has worked for me.
for now yeah so some tips on what to do if you're in this situation be wise to their tactics initiate a hard conversation if one needs to be had set boundaries don't respond at all don't respond with much detail limit how vulnerable you are with them stay true to your character don't take the bait and get offended walk away and finally pray for their maturity and growth
that could you send that message for you praying for your maturity and growth namaste They message you and they say, I've been thinking about you. Are you okay? Yeah, I've just been praying for your maturity and growth. I don't recommend you doing that, but you could. Well, I mean, you could do that quietly.
In your head.
You don't have to tell them. Yeah. I'm praying for you. My friend's going through something difficult with a toxic person, more of a business relationship situation. And she has typed out a very specific prayer and she's praying it every single day because it's crushing her spirit.
And so she has it on her phone and she came over the other day and we were talking through it and she was like, I have a prayer that I've typed up. Can, can we say it to you? Like, would you say it with me? She's like, I'm doing it every day, no matter what. But you know, we're two more gathered. So she was just like, I'm desperate. That's so mature though. I know it really was.
And she was, she's just in the thick of it right now with something very scary that that could impact her entire career. And I have found myself wanting to pray for maturity on her behalf or this other person, because what they are doing is very toxic. And it's made me wonder like how, if I can find any evidence of if they've been shady and deals before prior to her.
And so now I've been doing my own Googling and I'm trying to figure out about this person. I have no idea who they were before this. Like, I'm not friends with this other person. They're not in my ecosystem at all whatsoever. But I've been stalking them online, basically. Have you found anything? I think there's some... Some crazy to uncover.
And I told her she might want to hire a PI because her lawyer has one that they've used for something else. And I was like, maybe the PI could look into this. And I was like, oh, I'm watching too much trigger. I'm like, I need to back off. But then I was like, what if you do that? And then she goes even more crazy.
