Toxic Friends

Toxic people are no good for our souls, spirit, and even our physical being. If you have any friends that seem to suck the life out of you, it’s a high possibility that they could be ! If you are unsure about whether or not you have toxic friends, you must assess how you feel when it comes to certain people in your circle. Also, this presentation will detail some of the toxic friends you need to get rid of ASAP.

#1 The naysayer : It is great to have a friend who will tell you honestly if the road you’re taking is ideal but if they are constantly putting down your goals and visions with no good reason then it’s highly likely this friend is jealous of you and doesn’t want you to succeed.

#2 The friend who uses you :To be honest, we all use one another to some point and that’s fine as long as we appreciate the value the relationship brings. If your friend is nowhere to found when you need them or if you feel they don’t improve your well-being at all, then this person really has no place in your life.

#3 The person who disrespects you : When someone disrespects you and doesn’t give you the same courtesy in return you don’t need that in your life. Sure your friend can be a blast to hang out with, but is he worth the headache or the lack of respect?

#4 The backstabber : No one needs this type of person in their life.Anyone who has any respect for themselves or for their friend would not insult or speak ill of you behind your back. Besides being a damper on your positivity, friends like this can ruin your reputation or be harmful to your other relationships.

#5 The friend who holds you back :As we progress down our life journey, we change. Sometimes the friends we made in the past do not change with us. It doesn’t mean they are bad people but they can be toxic for your own person happiness.If you both are at different spectrums it is probably time to close this chapter and move on.

#6 The complainer : Everyone has a bad day, even the most positive people will stumble upon a bad day. However if you have a friend who is constantly complaining about life and not doing anything about it, it can dampen your mood and spirit. Eventually they may even blame you for their mishaps.

#7 The nitpicker : There is a difference between constructive criticism and hyper criticism.This type of friend is not only critical of you, he’s critical of those around him and constantly judging others. Judgmental people have no place in a positive person’s life.

#8 The liar : Constant lying can damage your friendship until it’s irreparable. You don’t want someone who manipulates your feelings through lies and deceit. It’s better to be alone than to deal with someone this toxic.

You already have enough on your plate working on leading a positive and happy life and you should surround yourself with people who are not only supportive, but who are working towards the same goal. Your true friends are the ones who are supportive and uplift you, they never bring you down .
