Many men fall victim to toxic masculinity, an undesirable trait, to say the least. Women also have their fair share of unhinged moments, which you will see on today’s list.

We’ve compiled a list of screenshots from the Nice Girls subreddit. Don’t let the name fool you. These show the ugly side of being a female, which, for some men, is the stuff of nightmares and trauma.

You’re about to read posts featuring toxic text exchanges, ‘entitled woman’ tendencies, and unhealthy attachment behaviors. Consider these the glaring red flags you must avoid at all costs.

Many of the screenshots you’ll see on this list feature what experts refer to as an anxious attachment style. The Cleveland Clinic defines it as an insecure attachment that begins in childhood, where a primary caregiver fails to provide ample care and attention.

In adult relationships, it may manifest through clingy and needy behavior. It may also come in the form of its polar opposite, where the person is untrusting. In both cases, the fear of abandonment is the common denominator.

Recent research has shown that women are more prone to developing an anxious attachment style. Men, on the other hand, develop an avoidant attachment style where they tend to distance themselves from romance-related anxieties.

According to brain science innovator Dr. Srini Pillay, it’s how humans are naturally wired, and both sexes deal with adverse reactions differently.

“Because the brain is geared to focus on negative things (presumably to protect us), we all tend to see the negative things under a magnifying glass,” Dr. Pillay wrote in an article for HuffPost.

Dr. Pillay says the differing attachment styles between men and women typically push couples to bail from the relationship instead of trying to get to the root of the problem.

“Women may become resentful that men are ‘clueless’ or not feeling the anxiety that they are feeling,” he wrote, adding that a man’s usual reaction would be to resent their female partners for being too “high-strung” about “simple issues.”

To avoid unnecessary arguments from happening, Dr. Pillay advises understanding these default behavior patterns. And instead of throwing criticisms, recognize each one’s need for commitment.

“The more we are aware of how we respond in romance, the better we will understand both ourselves and the partners with whom we have chosen to explore this life,” he wrote.
