While none of the actions Williams outlines in her tweet would necessarily cause you to break off or end a relationship (whether with a romantic partner, friend or family member). Put together, those actions could take a big toll on your wellbeing and overall happiness, and “dim your light” without you even realising it.

Indeed, as Williams later outlined in a follow-up Instagram post, while these kinds of “sly behaviours” are often so infrequent that it’s hard to notice that they’re actually happening, they can still be incredibly toxic.

“Unhealthy egos can feel threatened by those that seem light, happy and carefree,” she wrote. “Consciously or unconsciously, this can resort in sly behaviours that may slowly condition someone to make themselves smaller.”
