Getting rid of toxic things in our life is a priority these days. Surprisingly, Mental Health America reports that 84-percent of women and 75-percent of men have had toxic friends at some point in their lives. When someone sucks the energy and confidence out of you without giving back, that’s toxic. Here are the friend types that are actually toxic:
- The Extra-Needy Friend
- The “Negative Nancy” Friend.
- The Friend Who Belittles You. Sarcastic remarks at your expense. Saying less-than-glowing things about you in front of others. And when confronted, you’re met with, “I’m just joking!” This is how things might go with the friend who constantly puts you down.
- The Gossiping Friend
- The Inconsiderate Friend. A friend who is inconsiderate of others’ feelings and lacks sympathy is not someone you should keep around.
- The Jealous Friend. Does your friend seem to turn green with envy anytime you share something positive that happened in your life? A jealous friend is often a toxic one
- The Friend Who Plays the Victim
- The Hostile Friend. It’s really no fun to be around someone who is hostile 24/7, making for a totally toxic friendship.
