How to tell if your friendship is toxic 🙅🏾♀️🏥
ALL YOU DO IS ARGUE: it could be about little things, or big things.
YOU CANT TRUST THEM: trust in a friendship is key but if you have an inkling feeling that you can’t trust someone you’re probably right. This relates to all aspects in the friendship
THEY ARE SELFISH: now, if your friendship is always about the other person and not you , if they like to talk about themselves and vent about their problems but not listen to yours , that’s a big sign
THEY ARE JEALOUS OF YOU: your real friends will always be happy for you whenever something is going right for you and encourage you and y’all will grow together , a toxic friend however will be so apathetic and will discourage you and call your dreams unrealistic and feed off of your positivity
GOSSIPING: you should never keep a person in your life who has negative things to say about you behind your back , if your friendship is always about talking about what another person is doing they’re probably doing the same with you , we all love to spill the tea but will hate it if it’s from our cup
NEGATIVITY: we all have our bad days when we feel as if it doesn’t get better and we are upset , no one is going to be positive all the time but the same thing is for negativity do not surround yourself with negative energy and problems, leave that person where they need to be don’t let them feed off of your positivity.
BEING AN ASS: there are ways to be a funny and joke around but you can still be respectful, now if that person is making remarks on your appearance and saying hurtful things and coming for your insecurities that’s another huge signs to leave them out of your life
CHILDISHNESS: say you happen to get into an argument and they stop talking to you and start talking shit , and then try to get back into your life , don’t let them continue to have some sort of control over you like that. Tell them to leave you alone and leaves it at that or don’t anything silence is loudest
FLIRTATION: this one might be reaching to some but if you have a friend and as soon as you tell them about who you like and then they act as if they liked the person first or if they start flirting with that person after you say that that’s not right , they ain’t got respect for you
JUDGING: people who judge other people excessively are shallow asf , if your friend happens to do this to you all the time , or they give you weird looks when wearing something or judges you when you tell them something personal , they ain’t worth your time
LYING: having a “friend” that lies about themselves and who they are as people or lie about others are dangerous, stay a million feet away from them , as this relates to trust as well , even if they lie about themselves I promise they will lie about you too. And they would most definitely lie to you too
DRAMA : some individuals live for drama , but others like to involve you in it and get on your last nerves , these are the people who are always ready to fight and starts shit with everyone or expect you to fight all their battles is trying to take advantage of your kindness and they needa go.
