*To everyone, remember this:* Having a small group of friends that really care about you is way better than having so many friends that don't care about you.

In addition to cutting off these kinds of people, I think it's also important for us to be self-aware and avoid becoming those people

I have this friend in college who constantly asked for everything, whether it be my papers, homeworks, notes, etc. At first, I shared them out of pity with him because he’s academically lacking… until I found him hanging out with his friends the night before a homework was due, and sure enough he came to me for answers because he didn’t have time to do them. I eventually lost my pity for him, plus I realised he wasn’t going to change if I keep ‘helping’ him this way. So when he asked me for help again… I told him the homework is easy and it’s not necessary for me to help something so simple. That’s when he exploded lol. He said “you should’ve straight up tell me if you didn’t want to help. No need to start bitching about it. You aren’t the only person I’ve asked help from.” that was when I got so heartbroken and upset. I’ve helped him more than 30 times in less than one semester, and the moment I refuse to give help. he lased out and called me bitching. Shouldn’t I be the one who’s angry? For bothering me so much and taking advantage of me without giving me ANYTHING in return. I SHOULD BE THE ONE BEING ANGRY. Then I stopped replying to him at all. Didn’t talk to him til now.

A few weeks ago, he chatted with my close friend and asked why I keep distancing him. He told my friend that he didn’t expect me to be upset this long for such a simple fight. This part made me really angry because it was NEVER simple. How easy is it for him to call someone “bitching” and expect her to forgive him the next day? I’m just an engineering student in this man-dominated field, trying to survive threats here and there by doing the best I can so my peers don’t look down on me. Yet I was degraded as a bitch for this. Know I know why men label women as sensitive. They say the most hurtful, disgusting thing to women, and think their words don’t matter at all.

He tried to talk to me last week. I guess it’s because he misses the homework answers I gave him. But I avoided him because I no longer want to be associated with that beast anymore. I’ve never felt so happy after cutting him off. Best decision ever. He has to repeat all major classes because he faildd. I’m not saying I’m happy, but I’m satisfied karma has done their job.

Thank you for reading. I just need a place to vent. After all these months, I still cry after reading the “bitch” text til now… lol

1. the friend who always needs something
- true friendships involve mutual interest
- only looking for something when they need something and not being reciprocated
- they only take from you

2. the friend who gaslights you
- constantly blaming you when something bad happens in the relationship
- they only say they care for you as a way to gaslight you

3. the friend who never reaches out to you
- one sided relationships
- it feels like they’re doing you a favor when they reply
- they make you feel underappreciated

4. the friend who only talks about themselves
- your conversations with your friends get turned around and ends up being about them
- you end up being the friend listening to their problem instead
- you always give them your time and attention

5. the friend who always talks down on you
- makes you feel inferior constantly
- they brag

lol seeing a dream stan as a example for a terrible friend is literally the most funniest thing ever

You're better off having just people you know and not having solid friends you'll only get hurt in the end .Don't expect anything from anyone and you'll never be disappointed.

[calebriley]

Your solutions to these issues are to just stop being their friend? It would definitely help to communicate how you're feeling before you just abandon the friendship

At first I thought she was gonna say “according to statistics, only a small percentage of you who watch our videos actually have friends”

[flitefulwantssubs]

There’s a lot of videos about “cutting out toxic friends” but I think a more needed video would be on how to 1) not only recognize you are toxic, but 2), improve from it and become better. Which that sort of content is more complex than a simple six minute clip, and plus it would likely be preaching to the choir, but people often forget to or don’t even know how to focus on themselves to improve for the better. I feel that self awareness is the most important step in making your own life and the world a better place.

This video reminds me of when I wasn't self-aware of the way I treated my friends until my friend brought it up. I love watching these videos help me be more mindful of my actions and the things I can improve myself of. ❤ ( I love your cotent!! )

I think when we get older we start to realize the people we thought we needed in our life or the people who added value to our lives changes. It's ok to shed those relationships and let them be what they were remember that it's up to you for personal growth. I have very few friends because of this and say it leaves me open to explore a relationship withyself and live an honest life with myself because thats what I value. Don't settle in relationships because there are really good people out there who want to grow along side of you

Summary:
1. The friend who always need something (will reach out to you only when there is a need).
2. The friend who Gaslights you.
3. The friend who never reaches out to you.
4. They always talk about themselves.
5. The friend who always talk down on you.

In this quarantine time, I have realised true friends and family who will be there for me in my hard times. Finally, I found I'll be the only person who is going to be with me no matter what happens.

I don’t think I have any toxic friends, but this video WAS extremely helpful - cuz it’s taught me what exactly not to do in order to ensure that I never become toxic toward others 😅❤️

I feel bad because I was the toxic friend.. and I did not realize it until it was too late. I was the type 2 friend who blames her friends whenever there is a problem in the relationship, and I always made them feel that I had a preference over them and that they needed me and that I could abandon them and I did not need them and I do not know if my best friend is upset about this because our friendship lasted 4 years, but in the fourth year we no longer talked much because we were not in the same class and because the sideburns had ended and we no longer had anything to talk about. Now we do not talk at all because she found friends who are more suitable for her. In fact, I am happy for her because she was the reason for my happiness and she did not abandon me and tolerated me for 4 years and she loved me and I do too and I hope we can be friends again to show her that I have improved
