Yeah.. no.
The whole twin flame universe cult thing really started this idea. Twin flames are not toxic, but people can misuse the concept.
The documentary on their shady stuff gave ammunition to people who want to dismiss the entire concept.
That’s not what genuine spiritual work looks like.
Cheating, abuse, harassment is NEVER part of authentic twin flame characteristics. If someone behaves badly and without respect, they’re not your twin flame. Full stop. Some practitioners have removed their twin flame content entirely after watching too many toxic relationships hide behind the label.
What I’d say to you specifically - the fact that you’re questioning this is important. Pay attention to that. A genuine connection might be intense and challenging, but it should ultimately feel safe. You should be able to express yourself without walking on eggshells. Growth happens through mutual support, not one person constantly sacrificing.
That’s not to say the journey is always easy, but it shouldn’t feel unsafe. If focusing on this connection is holding you back from your own development, from your friendships, from feeling good about yourself - that’s information worth taking seriously.
