10 kinds Of friends You Should avoid

Published

on

It can be hard to let go of friends, but it’s important to take care of yourself and watch out for toxic friendships.

 

  1. A Friend That Is Constantly Mean To You

Insulting someone consistently is not friendship, especially if you bring things up that they are insecure about. I feel like people that do this get a lot of excuses made for them, but being mean is not a way to make or keep friends.

 

  1. A Friend That Lies to You

Friendship is based on honesty. Small lies turn into larger lies if you believe them or show someone that you are okay with them lying to you. Lies by omission can become a huge problem in friendships as well; honesty is the best policy. It’s better to have no friends than fake friends.

 

  1. A Friend That Talks About You At You Back

If one of your friends is talking about others behind their backs, that person is also talking about you behind your back. It’s clear that this person is two-faced, and has a habit of dishonesty, beware.

 

  1. A Friend That Does Not Respect You

If you ask someone not to do something and they do it anyway, they are out rightly disrespecting you. Your friend should be able to respect your privacy, your wishes, and your happiness.

 

  1. A Friend That Never Apologizes

Not apologizing and playing the blame game often go hand-in-hand. People that cannot handle being wrong rationalize their actions by blaming their actions on other people. If you have a friend that you happen to get in a fight with and this happens, you should probably end the friendship.

 

  1. A Friend That Does Not Help You When You Need It Most

If something awful happens in your life and you have a friend that refuses to support you, this should be a huge sign that this person is not a true friend. Sometimes, they can be fair weather friends who would be there in the good times and go MIA when its unfavorable. A true friend supports you in your time of need and does not leave you all alone.

 

  1. A Friend That is Always Being Negative

We all know someone that is always looking on the negative side of life. People like this are not really fun to be around, and usually having them as close friends is not your best bet. You should not entertain negative vibes, it would affect you in the long run.

 

  1. A Friend That is Mean to Other People

You are the average of the five persons you hang around with. You will be judged by those you spend time with, whether you like it or not. If you surround yourself with people who are blatantly mean to others, you will be known as a mean person by association, no matter what kind of person you really are. If you are really a nice person, you may want to drop that friend and find a new group to hang out with.

 

  1. A Friend That Does Not Support You

This is someone that you are always there for, but they are never there for you, especially when it comes to celebrating your achievements. This also goes towards how jealous they are of everything about you. Maybe it isn’t obvious, but disliking people because of their achievements is actually just jealousy rearing it’s ugly head. These types of people are important to keep at a distance.

 

  1. A Friend That is Manipulative

Most times, you may not even know they are manipulating you, but that is part of the game. They know just what to say or do to get you to do what they want. Most of this happens to be emotional blackmail, because they also know how to get you to tell them your feelings. If anyone ever uses something you have done or told them to their advantage, they are blackmailing you. You need to cut off.
