Friendship, when did it get so hard? Last year I lost some ‘friends’. Well I say friends, but it is not actually possible to lose a real friend. I though they were good people but they were being bitchy behind my back. It hurts that your judgement was so bad. So, here is my handy guide to spot a bad one, and get them out of your life.
It’s good to remember that people around you influence you and your life. If you hang out with someone with bad manners not only will this reflect badly on you, but you could also pick up their habits. You are influenced by the things around you.
Talking behind your back. No true friend is going to bitch about you to other people.This is a clear sign of a bitchy person. Not the type of person you want in your life.
Making snide remarks. If someone it bitter, negative, or just plain rude then drop them. Life is too short to spend it with horrible people.
Not being there when you need them. A good friend is always there for you whether you are having a bad day or wondering what to wear.
Not being happy for you. If something good happens and they are not happy for you then they are not a real friend. A real friend only wants the best for you.
Not forgiving you. Everyone has off days. If you are grumpy or late to meet a friend and they won’t forgive you, then they are not worth investing in. A true friend accepts your good and bad points. Though be apologetic.
Not making an effort. If they can’t bothered, we should you?
Being two-faced. If they are nice to your face and rude behind your back, it’s time to say goodbye.
Being dismissive. Even if they don’t have time, it’s not okay to dismiss someone or make them feel like they are not worth your time.
Not respecting your opinion. A good friend agrees to disagree. It is our differences, not just what we have in common, which brings us together.
Making remarks about your body. Though it is normal for teenagers to compare their bodies with other woman’s, watch out for a friend making negative remarks about your weight or anything to do with your appearance. This is done to make you insecure, but just shows how insecure they are.
