I need a second opinion. Am I toxic or not? A few months ago I’ve noticed that my friend chews with her mouth open and very loudly. It doesn’t annoy me but when I was growing up I was told that it’s bad manners just like picking your teeth in public, blowing your nose at the table ect. And let’s be for real it doesn’t make you attractive. I was taking a long time to tell her because I was afraid to come across as rude or toxic. I just told her directly, now she thinks that I was picking on her because we spent too much time together and the small things started to annoy me, she also doesn’t believe me that she eats with her mouth open. I didn’t try to defend myself and let her believe whatever she wants but it did make me feel that I’m being toxic. Maybe I just looked from my perspective, because I would’ve liked to hear constructive criticism especially if it is something that makes me less attractive (of course physical appearance is debatable).
