Toxic friends are the worst, but they tend to fly under the radar and avoid detection. Spot a toxic friendship and get the hell away!
Having a toxic friend is immensely draining. Not only are you emotionally exhausted, but you may feel guilty about it as you review your increasingly toxic friendship.
Many toxic friends aren’t new and that’s the problem. We tend to be friends with these people for a long time before they become toxic or before we notice it.
Because this is someone you’re used to having in your life, it can be hard to spot the signs of a toxic friend. You get used to how they treat you and may even think it isn’t a problem because their toxic behavior has gone on for so long.
But, deep down, their manipulation, guilt-tripping, or flakiness gets to you and doesn’t add positivity to your life.
