Toxic Friendships

                              What makes a friendship toxic? How can you tell if you're in a toxic friendship?
       The simple way to explain it is this, are you happy? Are you being treated with respect? Are you being respectful? Is this friendship enriching your life and improving your positivity and mental health? If you answered no to all of those questions odds are you're in a toxic friendship.
I recently just got out of a toxic friendship and let me tell you this; shit is rough! this person who was at one time your best friend has been replace with someone you don't even recognize. I was mentally abused by them for so long i began to think i was the problem and that our fights were all caused by me and that i was the ne being horrible. it makes me feel like shit and makes me want to cry non stop. if only i had realized sooner i could have stopped it from happening. here is your guide to the warning signs and ways to end things. i hope this can be useful and find its way to people who need that extra help.

WARNING! THIS SHIT IS TOXIC!

1. Giving more than you are getting. In friendships it shouldn't be one sided. one person shouldn't be making more effort than the other. it takes two to tango.

2. Zero trust. in my friendship i didn't feel like i could confide in her cause she was always talking about me behind my back. a true friend doesn't do that.

3. Who am i? if you find yourself asking this when you're with them girl it's time to jump ship. True friends will make you feel better about who you are and not bring you down.

4. Lack of communication. did you make them mad? not know why? they won't tell you why? sis thats toxic.

5. Jealousy. it's always a comparison and they make you feel shitty.
