Just another fool falling in love ❤️

given events in my personal life, I made a list of red flags showing that one of your friends or several might be manipulative and abusive.

when you express the ways in which they have hurt you, they blame you, yell at you, and make you out to be the “problem”

they get upset for things you do but do those same things themselves, ie: hypocrisy

they treat you differently than other friends, ie: they’re meaner

if you’re always the one that reaches out to them and they tell you that you aren’t trying hard enough if you ever stop

they bail, ditch, or ignore events that are important to you

and get mad at you if you call them out on it

they use you to get things (money, gifts, attention) but never return the favour

they knit pick the smallest of issues and blow them out of proportion

they twist situations where they wronged you into you wronging them

they “team up” with other people against you, meaning they turn others against you

they never say sorry

when other people in your life don’t understand why they are angry with you, or actively tell you that you’re not doing anything wrong, ie: only the toxic friends are the ones that have these issues with you

they use your weaknesses to their advantage to harm you or win a fight

I know it’s hard, but run. they are not worthy of you, no matter what they trick you into believing.
