Tocyn Omo Brish, the former best friend of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and a UK-based Nigerian colleague, recently shared her insights on the significance and joy found in relationships.

Taking to Instagram, Tocyn Omo Brish posted a video of herself along with some valuable advice on relationships. The charming actress emphasized that humans are prone to making foolish decisions, hurting others, and uttering words that are difficult to retract. However, she firmly believed that such actions do not define a person as toxic but rather exemplify their humanity.

She went on to highlight certain traits associated with toxic individuals, including an unwillingness to learn and a lack of love, which she found unappealing. Tocyn Omo Brish passionately expressed her belief that while relationships should be enjoyable, none of us should allow ourselves to be manipulated or taken advantage of.

She wrote, “One of the joys of being human is that we don’t have to be perfect to be one of the good ones. At some point, we’ll all make st#pid decisions, hurt the people we love, say things that are hard to take back and push too hard to get our way. None of that makes us toxic. It makes us human. We mess things up, we grow, and we learn.

“Toxic people are different, they never learn. They never self-reflect, and they don’t care who they hurt along the way. That doesn’t mean you have to be first all the time, but certainly, you shouldn’t have to fight strangers for your share of attention. Some things will never be adorable.

“We all know that little white lies happen. In fact, research has found that when lying is done for the right reasons (such as to protect someone’s feelings), it can actually strengthen a relationship. However, when lies are told with malicious intent and for personal gain, it will always weaken relationships.

“Relationships are meant to be fun, but none of us are meant to be played.”
