They always seem to be focusing on the negative side of things<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends share the ups and downs of their lives with each other. However, friends who are toxic tend to always talk about how everything that is bad without seeing any of the good. They tend to ignore all the good which makes you ignore it as well bringing your mood and motivation down. It\u2019s important to help them out with their problems but also make sure it doesn\u2019t affect you negatively.<\/p>\n

They never listen to any of your problems<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They always call you when something is wrong with them but never seem to have time for you when you have a problem. They expect you to be there for them when something goes wrong but are nowhere to be found when you need help. Friends who do this leave you feeling more lonely than you realise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They are quick to point out your flaws<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Honesty is important in any relationship, and friendships are no exception. However, it\u2019s when the honesty becomes relentless criticism of everything you do that the relationship becomes toxic. You find yourself unable to talk to your friend because you are afraid that they will point out everything you did wrong instead of offering you their support.<\/p>\n

They get mad at you easily<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s perfectly normal to experience friction and have arguments in your relationships. Toxic friends seem to always get angry with you for the smallest things you do. Any argument that you have always leaves you feeling guilty and apologetic. Friends like this are toxic because they aren\u2019t able to work out problems in a mature way.<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t happy for your success<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends who don\u2019t appreciate your success and celebrate with you are friends who are toxic to your life. People who love you will be happy when they see your happiness. It\u2019s important for friends to be happy for each other and celebrate each other\u2019s good fortune to maintain healthy, supportive relationships.<\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They always want  to talk about themselves<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends like this always seem to be talking about their accomplishments. They never think to ask about you or your life, and it seems like they don\u2019t really care. Friends like this are harmful to your life because they leave you feeling like you are unimportant.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care enough to keep in touch<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Life is complicated. It\u2019s important to understand that sometimes people can\u2019t always call or talk to you but they are thinking of you. However, relationships get toxic when the other person isn\u2019t thinking of you and makes no attempt to keep in contact. You find yourself being the only one reaching out, while they seem uninterested in maintaining the relationship. This is toxic because to have a healthy life you should engage in mutually fulfilling relationships with people who care about you as much as you care about them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They never consider your feelings<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends who never consider how their actions or words affect you are toxic to be around. They do things to benefit themselves even if it means your feelings are being compromised. It\u2019s unhealthy to have people like this in your life because you should surround yourself with people who don\u2019t better themselves at the expense of others.<\/p>\n

\n

They pressure you to do things you don\u2019t want to do<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re around them, they pressure you into doing things you aren\u2019t comfortable and make you feel like a loser when you don\u2019t do them. It\u2019s good to be around people who encourage you to try new things but it becomes toxic when they are forcing you to do things. You should be encouraged but not forced to try new things and move out of your comfort zone. Being forced to do anything has dire consequences that makes relationships like this toxic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t willing to change<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Human beings are constantly changing. Change is important in relationships. To maintain relationships and grow as people you should be able to change and adapt to each other to an extent that is beneficial to both of you. Friends who are set in their ways, which may not necessarily be right, and don\u2019t attempt to change and grow are toxic to your life.<\/p>\n
