10 Clues You Might Have A Toxic Friend (And How To Break Up With Them!)
The signs of a toxic friendship are usually subtle. We don’t realize it until it’s severe. A part of this could be because we only want to see the best in those we love. Not many of us jump at the chance to assume it is our best friend who is the one draining us by the end of the day. Friends are supposed to be different from our family—whom we are born into—and from partners, where breakups are relatively common. Friendship is supposed to be forever.
After all, they say that our friends are our chosen family. They are the people we meet along the way that make life worth living. However, on occasion, we wear rose-colored glasses around some friends. Too often we can’t see each red flag as we drive past —and there can be many, trust me. Before we know it, we start wondering when life got so hard—and how the friend who once made life so easy makes each day unbearable.
