Do people/family/friends always say you’re toxic when you don’t allow them to manipulate you?

Question

Seems like people that enter my life at some point I have to cut off, or decide not put up with their ways I find manipulating. Because of this I’ve been accused of being controlling, keeping my partner from being himself, and have been called all kinds of things including toxic....Non relatives, friends, and even close family. Has anyone experienced the same and have been called things similar because you didn’t allow them to manipulate you?

Answer

If it's happening with everyone in your life then the common denominator is probably you. Setting healthy boundaries for yourself is a good thing, but how you go about it may be the issue.

Answer

Can’t relate to this post bc I don’t have people like that in my life, and even if I did I certainly wouldn’t be keeping them around

Answer

i think it is a bit odd that your partner is accusing you of being controlling, not letting him being himself. maybe their not accusations but in their own way letting you know they don’t like how you respond to their life style. you probably don’t realize that you could be controlling because it’s how you were raised/like to keep things in check/order. but if your bf does something you don’t like or put him down for it maybe you should find someone who’s more accommodating to you than telling/managing who they can and can’t be.

Answer

no because if i feel a certain type of way towards someone i don’t typically stick around trying to change someone, if it’s who they are then fine. i’m going to block them and move on. 🤷🏻‍♀️ sometimes not everyone deserves a reasoning, an answer let alone an explanation. 
but not everyone’s a saint. in some ways you can be toxic to someone’s life at a certain time but you grow what you go through. ppl change and ppl drift
