  • 10 Signs You’re The Toxic Friend In Your Friend Group

    10 Signs You’re The Toxic Friend In Your Friend Group

    Toxic friends are everywhere and they are a big problem. If you don’t know the toxic friend in your friend group, it’s probably you. To prove this to you just, we wrote this for you. 

    If you display any of these signs, you’re the toxic friend in your friend group.

    1. You  steal your friend’s parents 

    You go into your friend’s life and suddenly, you are their parent’s favourite child? How and why? The position they had to fight hard to get, you gained it by prostrating that one time to greet, and by calling more often than them. Are you not an evil spirit?

    2. You  steal their food 

    Anybody that can steal food can kill. I hope they kill that friendship before you empty their fridge and bank account. No one should have to share shawarma, please.

    3. You sleep when they are awake 

    This takes toxic friends to another level because what sort of wickedness is this? How dare you be asleep when they can’t sleep? Is that not witchcraft? 

    4. You save their number with their name 

    You hate them and it shows. No pet name? Not even an insult like “Tobi Idiot”? Be honest, you don’t like your friends, do you?

    5. You always see the other side 

    Imagine your friend telling you about that coworker that annoys them and instead of insulting the person, you start seeing the coworker’s point. Tell me you hate your friend without telling me you hate them.

    6. You have fun without them

    After going out without them and posting videos without their face you’ll now come on their birthday to say “thank you for bringing fun into my life”. If you don’t geddifok.

    7. You move far away from them

    Why? If it’s not hatred, why would you move far away from them? Only toxic friends live far away from each other, please.

    8. You steal their clothes 

    You are an armed robber. Know this and know peace. Clothes are expensive, why is their wardrobe your private bend down select? 

    9. You don’t add their name in your project’s acknowledgement 

    Their existence alone is enough reason for their name to be in your project’s acknowledgement. If it wasn’t for them taking you out when you should have been writing it, would you have had enough guilt to work twice as hard on it? I think the fuck not.

    10. You don’t name your kids after them

    No really, it’s the audacity. How can you create a whole human being and not name them after your friend? Who will you now name the child after?  You are a toxic friend, know this and know peace.

    10 Signs of A Toxic Relationship

    Toxic relationships are one of the nightmares of adulting. They are bad for your health all around, but sometimes it’s not easy recognizing that you are actually in one. Because we are like your internet guardian angels, giving you all the guides you need to navigate this adulting thing we decided to make this list to help you put things in perspective. If the things on this list sound familiar then it is time to boot. Here are 10 signs of a toxic relationship;

    1. You give way more than you receive.

    You’re allowed to give in relationships. But if you’re the person doing the most, making all the compromising and going all the way, it’s actually not healthy. You deserve as much as you give.

    2. There’s no trust.

    And it’s not just you being paranoid and overreacting. You’ve seen enough red flags to have whatever trust you may have had fly right out the window.

    3. There is Abuse.

    Abuse is always a big red flag. Once it enters the equation you need to japaa. Asin, run. And run away from the relationship. It’s not just physical abuse, there’s also verbal and emotional abuse. Do not subject yourself to either one of them.

    4. The relationship negatively affects your self worth. 

    Good relationships should make you feel good about yourself and make you feel valuable. If a relationship most often leaves you feeling worthless, that relationship is toxic.

    5. There is No support from your significant other.

    If you’re not supporting each other then what are you doing? Life is hard, that’s why God created relationships. So you can have someone to remind you to make lemonade when you keep getting served lemons.

    6. There is constant Disrespect.

    And we don’t mean the usual “big head”, “ode” talks. We’re talking actual disrespect, the kind of comments and insults that obviously come from a place of spite and leave you feeling genuinely insulted.

    7. It’s a Judgment zone.

    Relationships should be judgment-free zones. It should be the one place where you are accepted as you are. If you are constantly getting judged in yours then it is toxic.

    8. The relationship makes you feel a certain way about yourself.

    And this certain way is a bad certain way. Good relationships should make you feel good about yourself.

    9. You keep having to lower your standards.

    If with each level of the relationship you keep having to lower your standards to accommodate new lows then something ain’t right. You’re growing backward.

    10. There’s always drama.

    The only place drama belongs is telemundo, not your relationship dear. A toxic relationship always comes with a ton of needless drama, almost every conversation somehow degenerates into an avoidable fight because there is deep-seated resentment no one is confronting.
