toxic

You've heard of those toxic 'nice guys,' well guess what? 'Nice girls' exist too, and they're cringey AF. Anyone who takes a scroll through r/niceguys or r/nicegirls will leave feeling like the world is just a cesspool of self-entitled assholes tangled in an endless, toxic cycle of cruelty. May these examples of cringey not-so-nice girls be a reminder to everyone that trust, communication, and mutual respect are an invaluable part of any kind of relationship. 

If you're a human, chances are you've had to interact with an entitled jerk at some point in your life—the sort of person who expects free goods and services for no reason, or someone who complains when a favor from a friend didn't meet their insane expectations. No Karen, I will not also cook and deliver the free Thanksgiving turkey I offered you. Jeez. 

r/ChoosingBeggars is brimming with examples of people who exposed their own ungratefulness and greed, and it's a great place to lurk if you're in the mood to get pissed off at total strangers. Here are twenty-seven eye-roll worthy examples of choosy beggars. 

There's been a lot of talk about incels and 'nice guys' over the past few years, and for good reason. There really are dudes out there who fervently believe they're entitled to the affection of women just because they treat them with a modicum of kindness. Sadly, they don't realize that being benevolent in order to get what they want isn't actually "nice." It's manipulative. And when the manipulation doesn't work? They go off the rails and reveal their toxic and entitled truth. These specimens from r/niceguys truly encapsulate this mysoginistic and cringey mindset. We hope they get the help they so clearly need. Or at least a really good talking to.

We've collected some of the most interesting responses from both therapists and former patients who talk about all the common red flags that point to a relationship's failure. 

These days a lot of people are pretty on edge thanks to a tense and divisive political climate. But some people take it to a very cringey level on the internet. It's almost like they lie in wait for the perfect opportunity to violently go off on someone with slightly different views or drop a pic of the tactical gear they just got from Amazon. Sorry buddy, but these eye roll-worthy displays of 'epic badassery' aren't fooling anyone.
