The Truth Why Smart People Have Fewer Friends

📌00:00 10 Signs of Toxic Friends📌

01:06 1- They Are Always Talking About Negative Things:

Are the majority of the things that come out of your friend's mouth complaints or downright negative? If yes, then they are toxic, and you are certainly not having a good time with them. A friend that continuously vents about their job, other friends, family, relationships, and life in general, will drain your energy, leaving you exhausted all the time.

01:55 2- They Want All Your Attention (On-Demand):

No one friend can meet all emotional needs. However, if your friend is toxic, they will always try to convince you that you are the only person in the whole wide world that understands them best. That's why they always seek your attention by doing things like Texting, calling, or coming to you incessantly.

02:26 3- You No Longer Trust Them:

If you are in a good friendship, there is trust between you and your BFF. After all, if you cannot count on your BFF, what's the point of having one?
Whenever you find yourself questioning whether your BFF has your best interests at heart, that's a sign that they are toxic and things just aren't rosy.

03:10 4- You Don't Feel Supported:

Your friend should celebrate your success, not diminish it.
So, tread carefully if your friend is ever making snarky comments when you share your accomplishments or good news. In a healthy friendship, someone will encourage you to grow and succeed, not be envious or condescending.

03:36 5- They Apologize Without Sincerity:

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but it was just a joke." How do you feel about that apology? It's insincere. Right? Here is why. Whenever you call out a toxic friend for their bad habits, they often shrug off your distress or give a flippant apology just to make you give the issue up.

04:19 6- They Tease or Insult You Regularly:

A friend should always lift you just as you bring them to cheer in life.
While the occasional joke may be harmless, incessant put-downs from a friend are a red flag. You shouldn't feel like you're being consistently criticized in a friendship. So, the next time your BFF insults you, tell them that they hurt your feelings.

04:50 7- They Don't Respect You nor Your Boundaries:

Mutual respect is essential for a healthy friendship. However, sometimes BFFs consider it a sign of closeness to ignore your boundaries when in reality, they are taking advantage of you. Does your friend pressure you to go out when you're trying to relax and rest? Do they take your clothes and jewelry without asking?

05:18 8- They're Trying to Change You:

While having things in common with your BFF is awesome, your friendship thrives even more if both of you can express yourselves freely and celebrate each other's differences. If your BFF is toxic, they might be bugging you to become someone you are not so they can like you more or so that you can match their idea of a best friend.

05:55 9- You Give Way More Than You Receive:

Granted, no friendship is truly 50/50. But if it seems like you're always the one giving your time, money, or other resources, you probably have a toxic friendship. Your BFF might be taking advantage of your generosity instead of reflecting on how they can contribute to the friendship.

06:19 10- You Don't Like Yourself When You're with Them:

A toxic friend will tend to spread their toxicity to others, and that's why whenever you hang out around a toxic friend, your worst behaviors come out. Maybe you'll drink too much, gossip, or be passive-aggressive with people when you're normally super chill.
