They play an important role in our lives and make them more fulfilling and pleasant. But what if\u2026 they don\u2019t? It seems like you have a friend, and you communicate and meet with them. But after each contact, you feel not fulfillment and joy but emptiness, melancholy, or vague discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens to you \u2013 check your friendship for toxicity that could slowly poison any relationship.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your friend is always displeased with everything. While talking to them, all you hear is them complaining about people, the cost of living, their job, their boss, their spouse, the weather, etc. After spending time with them, you also start doubting that there is anything good in this world.<br><\/li><li>They only reach out to you when something bad is happening in their life. When you feel bad \u2013 radio silence.<br><\/li><li>They always compete with you. They have more achievements, their job is better, their partner is more caring, and even their problems are more significant. And your life \u2013 is so-so\u2026<br><\/li><li>They criticize everyone and everything. And you too, by the way. Everyone around them is \u201cwrong\u201d: stupid, greedy, ugly, dumb, unworthy, etc. They are the only worthy person in the whole world.<br><\/li><li>They feel resentful. \u201cOh, you can\u2019t accompany me? I will not talk to you. Why haven\u2019t you replied to my text within one minute? I will block you!\u201d Most of the time, you are being forced to justify yourself or guess what will be your \u201cfault\u201d tomorrow.<br><\/li><li>They feel jealous of you: when you spend time with other friends, or at work, or even with your partner. They expect to take up all your thoughts and time!<br><\/li><li>Your tastes and interests\u2026 are not very interesting. But theirs \u2013 are important! Your hobby is stupid. Your dress makes you look fat. Your guy is not sophisticated enough. Your job is a piece of junk. Etc., etc.<br><\/li><li>After talking to them you feel\u2026 used. Sometimes &#8212; like a tissue to wipe their tears, sometimes &#8212; like a waste bucket for their complaints\u2026 When you have a problem, you have nobody to turn to \u2013 since they are always busy with their more important issues.<br><\/li><li>They always know EVERYTHING and you are showered with suggestions that you haven\u2019t asked for. \u201cYou must break up with him! If he does not buy you flowers \u2013 it means that he doesn\u2019t love you! Maybe he has someone on the side? Have you thought about that?\u201d \u201cWith your skin problems, only this cream will help. You don\u2019t need your dermatologist\u2019s prescription &#8212; what does she know! I will tell you what to do.\u201d<br><\/li><li>They are envious of your successes. Sometimes, they say it openly: \u201cOf course\u2026 you have everything, and I\u2026\u201d \u201cYou have such a great guy, and I will have to be alone for Christmas\u2026\u201d \u201cYou were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and I need to work hard for everything\u201d. Sometimes, they say it indirectly: \u201cWhen will you get older, pretty woman? I am waiting and waiting \u2013 but age doesn\u2019t get to you\u201d.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Toxic friendships may have many signs. But the main one is your feelings. Do not ignore them! If after communication you always feel discomfort, resentment, a feeling of guilt imposed on you, etc. \u2013 time to run. Make the right choice \u2013 choose yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"alt-notice\" align=\"center\"><b><font color=\"white\">UNLOCKING MENTAL WELLBEING<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Self-therapy can be an essential tool for personal growth and self-improvement.<br \/>Browse through our <a href=\"https:\/\/mindspa-dev.ru\/en\/courses\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>courses<\/u><\/a> and see the positive changes they can bring to your life.<\/p>\n<p>You are not sure where to begin?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p class=\"product woocommerce add_to_cart_inline example-cart-button\" style=\"border: 0px;\"><a class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\" href=\"https:\/\/mindspa-dev.ru\/en\/psy-tests\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">TAKE A FREE TEST<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"buttons\" style=\"border: 0px;\"><a class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\" href=\"https:\/\/mindspa.typeform.com\/to\/za9nGe8T\" rel=\"nofollow\"><small><u>or get a free consultation<\/u><\/small><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having friends is very important.
