Signs that you are having a bad friend
- Lack of respect
Bad friends often mock, mock or share your secrets with others. If they laugh at you more than laugh with you, it is a clear sign of disrespect.
- Always defensive
They find it difficult to admit their mistakes and often have the words but... attached to each apology. This avoiding responsibility can make you feel insecure and hurt.
- Irritable
Bad friends are often only concerned about their own emotions and needs. They always want everything to revolve around them, from choosing the drama to the story theme, causing you to gradually become isolated and emotionally hurt.
The toxic effects of friends on health
- Increased stress
Negativity and lack of respect cause the body to produce more stress hormones, reducing energy and spirit.
- Reduced self-esteem
When you are constantly lowered, you can easily doubt your self-worth, leading to a loss of confidence.
- Physical effects
Stressful friendships increase inflammatory protein levels in the body, which can lead to heart disease, diabetes or cancer.
How to get rid of toxic friendship?
- Receive the problem
Admit that you are in an unhealthy relationship. Early recognition helps you proactively control emotions and actions.
- Gradually reduce exposure
Don't try to convince bad friends to change. Instead, reduce conversations, avoid unnecessary meetings, and gradually cut off communication.
- Forgive and Letting go
Forgiving does not mean accepting their return, but is to make yourself feel more relieved. When you let go of negativity, you will feel more free and calm.
