Understanding the Thrill of Conflict in Relationships
Some people are drawn towards toxic relationships due to a repetition compulsion where unresolved past traumas or dynamics are replayed. Toxic relationships can reinforce self-perceptions, leading individuals to seek situations that reflect their views of themselves. This cycle, although self-negating, can stem from masochistic tendencies, creating patterns that can be detrimental without being consciously recognized.
