Toxic friendships | [Eng|Esp]

ENGLISH

In general, toxic friendships tend to be those closest to us, which is why it hurts us so much to walk away or to face the problem or the reality of what is happening. We prefer to let situations, offenses, damages, to avoid losing them, either out of affection, habit or necessity.

The moment you totally separate yourself from a friend who has harmed you and done you so much harm, your cycle of friends starts to become smaller every day. This is not all bad, because due to the weight that you have released from you, you become more demanding when it comes to meeting new people. You begin to know what you like and what you don't like about the people you want in your circle of friends.

The bad thing is when your level of demands starts to get out of control, that's why we should always be ready to meet people for who they are, sometimes being so demanding causes you to end up all alone. You will reach a point where you will not be able to stand anything from anyone and that will make people move away from you or you move away from them.

This situation is caused by those toxic friendships that have made you change, reflect and be more cautious about letting go of your love, trust and time. If I list right now the types of toxic friendships that exist in the world, I would never finish writing. But in a nutshell, I can write about some of the more prominent ones.

Toxic friendships are usually the ones that are closest to you, they are the ones that affect you not only emotionally, but in all possible areas of your life. Because they are like a rotten apple, they damage everything around them. There are those who always receive everything from you, those who only exist to stretch out their hands and receive, which turns you into a person who gives and gives all the time and never let you receive because they make you feel that the only ones who should receive are them, either through manipulation of extreme needs, showing pity or inability, which makes them deserving friendships to receive everything you can give them.

There are others who are always criticizing your way of being, always judging every decision you want to make and even making you doubt your own possibilities to go on and move forward. They judge your relationship, family, work, everything; they don't respect the other people around you and always justify themselves in: they don't do you good, that's why I treated them that way; they don't love you, that's why I put them there for you. They are always making decisions for you, they act in a jealous way against people who can take time or benefits from you to them.

On the other hand, if you are between one thing or the other and you can't decide which one to take, they will take the worst one for you, but if both things are good or beautiful, they will simply tell you that they don't know which one is better for you. they will make you hesitate or even give up.

If your friends do not respect your relatives or partner, you should be careful. Whether they do you good or bad, no friend has the right to disrespect and worsen your relationship with others. They can advise or suggest, but don't let them make you doubt or feel bad. If your friends spend most of their time hurting you or making you feel less than, or in poor light, it's time to remove them from your life, for your own good.

Remember that your physical, mental and emotional health must come first, your peace of mind is worth gold, you should not be with anyone who makes you doubt yourself. You must have people who are willing to give and receive, people who will help you overcome, who will help you in the bad times and celebrate in the good times.
