You ever notice how toxic relationships are a lot like bad Wi-Fi? You know, the kind that drains your battery and makes you want to throw your phone out the window. But you keep using it because, well, it’s better than nothing, right?

p

Kashvi

And the worst part? You’re constantly trying to fix it. ‘Maybe if I restart my phone, it’ll work better.’ ‘Maybe if I just try a little harder, they’ll treat me better.’ Spoiler alert: It doesn’t work. You just end up with a dead battery and a broken heart.

p

Kashvi

So, next time you find yourself in a toxic relationship, just remember: it’s time to switch to a better network. Because you deserve 5G, not 2G, in all aspects of your life. Who’s with me? (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

Setting boundaries is like putting up a ‘No Entry’ sign on your heart. It’s not about being mean; it’s about protecting yourself. You know, like when you put up a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on your door, and your mom still knocks five times? That’s when you know it’s time to lock the door too.

p

Kashvi

But here’s the thing: setting boundaries is hard. It’s like telling your best friend you don’t want to watch their 10th season of ‘The Real Housewives’ marathon. It’s going to be awkward, but it’s necessary. And trust me, after a while, they’ll start to respect your boundaries. Or at least stop inviting you to their Netflix parties.

p

Kashvi

And if they still don’t get it? Well, that’s when you know it’s time to find new friends. Or at least a better Wi-Fi network. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

Leaving a toxic relationship is like breaking up with your favorite pair of comfy socks. You know they’re bad for you, but they’re just so comfortable. And you feel guilty for even thinking about throwing them out. But here’s the deal: you’re not being selfish. You’re being smart.

p

Kashvi

Think about it: if you keep wearing those comfy socks, they’re going to wear out and eventually, they’ll just be a hole in your shoe. And that’s not good for anyone. So, you’re not just doing it for yourself; you’re doing it for the health of your feet. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

And if anyone tells you it’s selfish, just remind them that self-care isn’t about being selfish; it’s about being strong. It’s about saying, ‘I’m worth more than this.’ And you know what? You are. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

One of the biggest reasons we stay in toxic relationships is fear—fear of being alone. But let me tell you a secret: being alone isn’t the end of the world. It’s actually pretty peaceful. You can eat all the ice cream you want without feeling guilty. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

And you know what else? You can take a shower whenever you want, without someone asking you to bring them a towel. You can watch whatever you want on TV, without arguing over the remote. Being alone can be a beautiful thing. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

So, next time you’re afraid of being alone, just remember: it’s better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you feel like you’re constantly in a bad Wi-Fi zone. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

Another reason we stay in toxic relationships is hope. We hope they’ll change. We hope things will get better. But here’s the thing: hope is a beautiful thing, but it’s not a plan. It’s like waiting for your phone to magically fix itself. It’s not going to happen.

p

Kashvi

And you know what’s even worse? When they promise they’ll change, but they don’t. It’s like when your friend promises to pay you back, and every time you ask, they say, ‘I promise, next week.’ Next week never comes. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

So, instead of waiting for a change that might never come, why not take control? Why not make the change yourself? Because you deserve better than a broken promise. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

Toxic relationships are like emotional vampires. They suck the life out of you, leaving you feeling drained and exhausted. And the worst part? You might not even realize it until it’s too late. It’s like slowly losing your battery life, one text at a time.

p

Kashvi

But here’s the thing: you don’t have to be a victim. You can choose to recharge your battery. You can choose to surround yourself with people who lift you up, not drag you down. It’s like switching from a bad Wi-Fi network to a 5G connection. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

So, the next time you feel emotionally drained, take a step back. Ask yourself, ‘Is this relationship worth it?’ If the answer is no, it’s time to hit the ‘Off’ button. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

Ever been in a relationship where you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? It’s like living in a minefield. You never know what’s going to set them off. It’s exhausting, and it’s no way to live. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

And you know what’s even worse? When you’re so used to walking on eggshells that you start to think it’s normal. You start to believe that this is just how relationships work. But it’s not. You deserve to feel safe and secure in your relationships. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

So, the next time you find yourself walking on eggshells, remember: it’s not you. It’s them. And you have the power to change that. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

Letting go of a toxic relationship is like saying goodbye to a篇章结束。 (Note: The last sentence appears to be a mix of English and Chinese. It should be corrected to:

p

Kashvi

It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to feel sad. But remember, you’re not losing a part of yourself; you’re gaining a better version of yourself. It’s like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

So, take your time to heal. Allow yourself to feel the emotions. And when you’re ready, step into the new chapter with confidence and courage. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

Sometimes, the support you need comes from the most unlikely places. It could be a stranger who gives you a kind word, a friend who listens without judgment, or even a therapist who helps you navigate the mess. (Audience laughter)

p

Kashvi

And you know what? Sometimes, it’s even the little things that make a big difference. Like when your cat curls up next to you, or when your dog gives you a comforting lick. These moments of connection can be incredibly healing. (Audience laughter and applause)

p

Kashvi

So, don’t be afraid to reach out. Whether it’s to a friend, a family member, or a professional, support is out there. And you’re not alone. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

Finally, be gentle with yourself. Detoxing your life isn’t about cutting people off impulsively or blaming yourself for the past. It’s about recognizing what you need to thrive and making choices that honor that. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

Listen to that quiet voice within. It’s the one that tells you, ‘You deserve better.’ It’s the one that guides you towards healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. (Audience applause)

p

Kashvi

And remember, every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. So, take that first step. Trust yourself. And know that you’re doing the right thing. (Audience applause)
