Bad friends signs that one must be very careful of immediately it start to emerge or start to notice.
We all have moments in our life that we need friends to help us cope through. They set us in good mood when we are down and enjoy our good time.
But the fact is, some people we consider friends act friendly to us but actually dislike us and that’s what google terms as “frenemy” and we term it is bad friends.
These are bad friends and you need to stay away from them. Being friends with them have adverse effects like inferiority complex among others.
Is your friend a bad friend?
let’s discuss 7 signs with practical scenarios of bad friends:
1. When your friend embarrasses you
Practical scenario; lets say you borrow a dress from your friend and when you were talking to a guy you like, she comes across and says “omg my dress looks so good on you, I’m glad i have it to you.
Like woah, why now, couldn’t you have told me this at better time than now ( when I’m talking to the guy i like)?
These kind of bad friends at the most convenient inappropriate time, embarrass you and act like there is nothing wrong with it.
Stay away from them.
2. When your friend is constantly in competition with you
Practical example; when yo i ur friend seems to always have problem when you get the same hairstyle or same kind of clothing with her.
Or when your friend always want to know the dress you’re wearing to school or a particular party but wouldn’t tell you hers just because she wants to outdo your look.
It doesn’t make sense right, yes. Someone who is always in competition with you, can’t be your friend, get rid of them, they are bad friends.
3. When your friend is always mean to you but claims its a joke
Practical example; Let’s say you ask your friend to help you choose a shoe in a shop to take to program that means a lot to you.
your friend influences you to buy a particular shoe and later make jokes of the same shoe she made you buy just so your other close friends would laugh at you.
When you confront this friend about it because clearly you were affected by it, she tells you “its just a joke”.
No, this is not a joke. I mean why would a friend make a joke at the expense of your feelings?, real friends don’t do that, trust me, i know this because I’ve been there
This is a clear bad friend move, drop them.
4. When your friend backbites against you
Practical example; you tell your friend your most embarrassing secret, you clearly told her not to tell anyone but someway somehow her other friends knows about it.
You know it couldn’t have been any I been anyone who revealed it because you told no one else.
OMG this is a red flag. This person is no doubt a toxic friend. The most important thing in friendship is Loyalty and if this is lost, why still stay friends?.
TIP; if your friend always backbites about others to you, chances are that they do same to you with other friends.
When your friend always lies
This friend lies about everything, they lie to themselves, they lie to you and they lie about everything.
This person would lie just so you reveal a your secret, this person would lie just so you feel inferior.
You simply cant trust this friend, period!!. Its a sign of a toxic friendship .
When you friend betrays you and acts as if its nothing.
Practical example; lets you ask your friend to advice you about your relationship , she asks you to breakup and you also do so because genuinely you thought it was the solution.
Later your friend starts dating your ex and acts as if there is nothing wrong.
This person is a secret hater, a toxic friend and you must stay away from them.
Another scenario: when your friend allows other people to talk bad about you when she’s in a better position to stop it. That’s a toxic friend.
When your friend acts like they own you
It is so unhealthy that your friend would always get angry if you go out with other friends .
This is a sign of insecurity which is bad in a friendship or any relationship as a matter of fact.
