I think a lot of people would rather discomfort themselves than possibly discomfort someone else - which in many instances is admirable, but where toxic relationships are concerned is not. Like I think it's a wrong understanding of social obligation, basically. Either that or they just don't value mental health very much. I don't know. I've never been able to just stand by and act like everything is okay when I see these things happening - I have to speak up or remove myself from the situation entirely.
