Yelling is toxicity
When are we going to discuss that?
It has psychological effects, don't believe me?
I'll give you an instance stat

Let's take a girl
Who has been yelled at all her life
Who since when she's been two,
Yelling at her is all you do

She makes a tiny mistake, you yell
Does a tiny thing, you heap insults upon her head
Year after year, this doesn't stop
_"You're so stupid, Aria!"_ Oh strict Daddy, does this ring a bell?

She gets used to it all
Infact it gets to a point that that's all she expects from you everytime
It all becomes normal to her
But as a parent, you don't see this effect even after all this time.

She grows up,
A beautiful young lady with all and sundry at her feet
She doesn't know who to pick
They all looked good, but boy, choosing the right one seemed such a feat

One seemed kind, gentle, soft-spoken and never in disarray
Another is all these too, but only on a good day
As such is rare, he does everything her parents used to
Only difference, he apologizes with stupid flowers

He yells, emotionally abuses her and does so much more
"It's not his fault. It's how he is." Are the excuses she gives everytime it occurs
He apologizes everytime, with that sweet mouth of his
But she doesn't leave him, why?
Because low-key, she's attracted to all his toxicities.

Fast forward a few years, the two men propose
She really likes both
But guess who she chose?
Yes, the rude, toxic brute.

Why?
Because she knew not how to handle a good healthy environment anymore

Why?
Because that's what her upbringing taught her

Why?
That's what her parents unknowingly made her,
Attracted to toxicity.
