watching to make sure i’m not being a bad friend 🙂🙏

Yes I've had someone just like that. Basically they did all the above but the most harmful one was when they'd drop hanging out with me to hangout with their "real" friends. After realizing how fake our relationship was I dropped out of contact but they came back claiming they'd had a change of heart and wanted to do better. It lasted a week before I erased them completely from every social media platform. it wasn't so bad since they were just one of many friends but the type of toxicity weighs on you after awhile.

Well, most people around me were toxic tho. And i don't consider those people as my friends. So, basically i don't have any friends 😅😅😅

[usuck]

About 80% of the people Ive known fit this list. Lol

Sadly i have a close friend like that, she sometimes is a really good frind but other times a toxic friend and i failed to understand why

[Ragingwasabi]

what about friends that seem to keep ghosting you or give dismissive comments/reactions?☹

I spent an entire semester befriending, being friends with, going out with, and opening up to a person only to have them block me at the end, right before they graduated and I wouldn't see them again :I

The last one is super common, but it doesn't have to be toxic.
I'm a very reliable person when it comes to appointments etc but due to my depression, ADHD and stuff I tent to miss out on stuff sometimes, bc I just couldn't y know.

I’ve been watching your videos for 2 years, and I’ve been feeling much better, from watching your videos I cut all my fake “friends” that seemed fake/users yesterday and I feel more happier!

*The easy come & go world of social media & dating apps has made these traits so easily accessible in everyone. We all need to have mutual clear/healthy communication & expectations with others daily. Self audits are also a good part of it*

This channel is a life saver. I watched the entire toxic friends series on the channel five years ago and it has bought a huge positive change in my life. Thank you & love you.

[mhmdmhmdv]

[TheInfamousAnkleBiter]

I just realize, I’m basically a fake friend 😭😭😭😭 I DIDNT know it until now,

[SuskeOtto]

My toxic trait is seeing the most amazing jaw dropping video that someone probably worked so hard on and jst commenting "ok."

[kyndrablankenship]

This short actually fits the episode of 911: Lone Star I watched before coming to work today.

[BirdieSenpai]

Welp, reckon I ain't had a real friend in my life, lol.

Hahahaha, someone told my sister that when a boy (this is a major issue) doesn’t talk to her UNLESS HE is having a problem, that it’s cause he her. So she is head over heels for this boy that’s only hurting her! He’s bulling her, using her, avoiding her (literally ghosted her for 3 months cause he just felt like it), saying their relationship-friendship cause their not even dating-is childish and he wished he didn’t meet her, and it goes on and on. I feel like she won’t even tell me half of what he does cause I keep INSISTING she stop being around him. It hurts to watch her in pain and cry over someone who voiced they don’t care. I don’t like that kid, and I’ve known he was toxic from the start. She keeps picking boys that hurt her, which I heard from a different Psych2Go video that often stems from issues with father figures. Which makes sense cause my dad don’t even say he loves us and instead calls us trash, none the less I wish he’d back off and stop hurting her!
