A lot of folks are familiar with the term “red flag” as it relates to relationships. A red flag is indicative of something unhealthy in a relationship. It can be something that gives a person pause, could indicate a relationship is past its expiration date, or could act as a warning of unhealthy or even harmful behaviors. While it is important to be mindful of red flags, it is also important to know what “green flags” can look like. A green flag is indicative of healthy behavior in relationships, and thinking about them can help you navigate healthy communication, trust, and respect in all types of interpersonal dynamics. One important thing to note: Both healthy and unhealthy behaviors can exist in a single relationship, and the presence of any green flags do not negate the red flags.

Some examples of green flags are:

Treating each other as equals.

Taking time to calm down before talking when upset.

Respecting each other’s hobbies.

Making space for the other’s friends and social lives.

Making sure everyone in the relationship is treated fairly.

Listening to understand each other (as opposed to listening for a chance to talk).

Supporting each other’s goals, even if they are different from our own.

Committing to being self-reflective in relationships.

Compromising fairly.

Communicating our boundaries and respecting each other’s.

Practicing consent in all aspects of our relationships.

Seeking mutually satisfying resolutions to conflicts .

Mutually agreeing on a fair distribution of work

Making sure partners all benefit from financial arrangements.

Committing to honesty.

Your best friend is the first person you look for at school in the morning and the last person you text at night. You wear each other’s socks and finish each other’s sentences. But lately, after a day of hanging out, you feel drained, not sustained. Maybe your friend won’t let you make a single decision for yourself. Maybe their favorite activity is running other people down. Or maybe you just don’t like who you are around them. Sound familiar? Then you might be in a toxic friendship. “Toxic friendships happen when one person is being emotionally harmed or used by another, making the relationship more of a burden than support,” says Suzanne Degges-White, author of Toxic Friendships. A bad friendship can increase your blood pressure, lower your immunity, and affect your mental health. But despite wreaking havoc on your mind, body, and spirit, toxic friendships can be tough to spot. That’s because most start out strong—why else would you become friends in the first place? The good news is, we can help you diagnose an unhealthy bond before it becomes a full-blown sickness. Read on to understand the seven most common kinds of toxic friendships and how to fix them.
