Friendship is an important part of the human existence as we all need someone and
no one person is an island
We need each other. But in our quest for friendships and companionship we should come to the realization that friends play a vital role in our growth as individuals they can be your ladder to that next level in life and they can also be the ones that pushes you off it. Also its important to know that not everyone who smiles and says good things about you really means well for you and has your interest at heart.
I like to call them toxic friends
So how can we identify and handle friends?
So today ill give you a few tips I gathered together from my head lol on how to identify toxic friends.
Have you ever had someone whom you saw as a friend but as you grow in the friendship you realize that they never get your back. Like when you have a huge decision to take, a new step or just anything they always have a problem with your every move but still claim to be your friend. You have to get RIF of such friends because they jealous of you and do not want the best for you. Good friends stand by you and support you.
Toxic friends do not see anything good in anything you do. Have you ever had these friends who always feels like they and they alone knows what's exactly best for you. They make you feel like you Ned not have a mind of your own and they know what's best for you. Well you need to beware of such friends as thus sometimes they may have good intentions but they are just hungry for control and that's the problem. Good friends do not control you, they advice you and support your decisions.
Toxic friends always wish they had what you have, they want what you want too. They want to be the center of all attention and when a little comes your way they envy and do not celebrate with you, even when they do, they don't for long. Beware of such friends they might just end up stealing everything that matters to you even your spouse.
Toxic friends are never trustworthy, because they do not have the right intentions if reflects in their actions and behavior and when you feel like you cannot trust a friend anymore don't push it just avoid them they are becoming toxic.
Do you have a friend who is always no where to be found when you need them the most? But you seem to always stand by them at their weekest and down times. They are toxic friends. Flee from them.
These and more are ways of identifying toxic friends and believe me we all have one in our lives. Be careful on how you relate and handle them.
Thanks for reading.
