Self-proclaimed psychologist faces backlash on TikTok for giving \u201ctoxic\u201d advice TIKTOK: madellinneeA TikTok user who claims to be a psychologist is facing backlash for giving out \u201ctoxic\u201d relationship advice. Madeline, who claims to be a psychologist, shared her 48 relationship and dating rules on TikTok to her 25,000 followers. While some of her rules were harmless and even \u201ccuring\u201d for some women, many of them have also been labeled as \u201ctoxic\u201d and \u201cproblematic.\u201d Take rule 23 for example: \u201cMake him think you\u2019re obsessed with him so that when you\u2019re detaching he misses it and becomes obsessed with you.\u201d Rule 30 is equally controversial: \u201cAct like wife material in person then completely uninterested over text, he will become obsessed with the chase.\u201d There are many more examples, but one rule in particular has sparked outrage on the social media app, especially amongst single moms. In a viral video, which has almost 800,000 views on TikTok, Madeline shared rule 38 in text-overlay: \u201cIt\u2019s okay to get your heartbroken\u2026 some girls are left with children.\u201d Hundreds of users flooded the comments under the six-second clip, to voice their frustration at the problematic advice. TikTok viewers snap back about toxic relationship advice \u201cWe aren\u2019t left with kids, we have a priority to make sure children are take care of and are happy and safe,\u201d one angry mom commented. A single mom also disagreed with Madeline\u2019s tip, adding: \u201cNo, he\u2019s heartbroken and I have our beautiful children.\u201d \u201cIs that funny to you? Making fun of single mums? Is that a joke?\u201d someone else wrote. \u201cOh the toxicity,\u201d another one commented, \u201cI can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re joking or not but you should delete this.\u201d Madeline responded to the criticism, saying that she meant no harm to single mothers. \u201cGirls, I don\u2019t mean to hurt anyone, just wanted to increase awareness for the younger girls to take maximum care with boys,\u201d the TikToker commented. She continued: \u201cTrust, you can choose men and still choose the bad ones, because it\u2019s proven that people can hide their true self until marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
