*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.
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
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 😅❤️
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.
The thing is being toxic friend is not a problem for themselves. They may be totally happy and oblivious how they make feel their friends. The problem is having them, cause they make your life's quality worse.
Idk.. im not really a very open person. Even though i stand out in classes as an extroverted person ( which is im not cuz im ambivert) i cannot really make a very fond friend with them. It takes time. And i actually have a close friend which im still in contact with. It's been 9 years of our friendship. But idk... Now he often talk to me how he felt tilted with another person whom not even knew him.. like toxic to certain influencer or something.. I'm living in a very toxic family and i think that i had enough with toxicity.. then he always talk to me about things he don't like constantly. It made me felt burdened to hear him out. And the toxicity repeat day after day.. I don't want to really admit that i need to cut things out with him. Even though im the only one (i think) whose feeling guilty of random things and whose feeling considerate towards him. Because i really want us to stay that way. But when he told me that i should cut out with him after i want to talk to him about the issue. Im feeling disappointed.. idk.. Im tired of trying to understand a person who don't even have the effort to understand me.. but i don't wanna end our friendship like that. If the one who read this tends to be this friend of mine.. which im highly believe that he will not.. idk.. try to talk again with me if we ever stopped talking to each other then. I would gladly talk to you again. Edit: And sorry for the grammars. I'm still learning
Perfection! But this channel is more focused on giving it's viewers pats on their heads, filling them with delusional lies. They don't want to risk offending their subscribers, and that's why this channel is more toxic than helping to mitigate toxicity.
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
Does anyone else feel quite sad when you can’t really find some loyal, trustworthy, or simply just someone you can count on when you’re in your lowest times type of in real life friends? So instead what you decided to do is to try finding some online and not that they’re “bad” or anything, in fact, there are lots of great people online. However the thing is you just don’t get the same feelings when talking to people online, rather than irl friends?
Exactly my point.. My best friend has betrayed me several times so she will never be able to fill this gap of trust she lost because there is always this fear that she will do it again. With online friends you can exchange topics and identify. However you will always want them to be physically next to you
@@lastofthefamous2542 Which is a shame. I believe its worth getting therapist help just to regain trust (for other people), life will definitely be worse if you cannot trust and build relationships.
Yessir that’s a good quote imma keep that, I live by “give respect to earn respect and that goes the same way with disrespect”, this can be applied to many different things I use to decide how I feel about a person and what they’re on
This absolutely a thousand times over. I've recently been ghosted by a friend for over a month now even though our prior conversation was completely normal. Now im just left in the dark and don't even know if we're still friends
@@pringu6216 Just go and get your tasks done first bruh . Nobody wants a dude who procastrinates a lot and is a nervous wreck as their friend for real . Be positive and responsible and you get and maintain friendships ez
"The friend who never reaches out to you" I can't cut relationship with them, because that kind of friend is me. That why I don't want any friend I don't want to hurt them.
I relate. I'm the friend in number 3 who doesn't fill in as they should. I've just gotten sick of constantly dealing with the mental issues that I just can't anymore. Now she keeps trying to uphold our friendship but I'm just too exhausted. I do try to reply to her but it's just getting harder. Her situation at home in a way is similar to mine, but we are so different. It's hard to talk normally when we don't even have the same belief, or when the only thing we can talk about is our issues.
Same. For the longest time I've been the emotional support system of my friends, trying my best to talk them out of su!c!d3, making sure they don't harm themselves, get themselves into trouble and making sure they eat well. But they rarely take the time to ask how I'm feeling, or if I'm doing okay. It just mentally drains me, so I end up turning off my notifications on everything and ghosting everyone. It makes me feel bad because there are friends that have gone above and beyond for me, and those are the type of people I want in my life for a long time. But I just can't deal with people who dump all their problems onto me without offering help when I need it.
Same, I felt very called out by that one. But I think the important thing is if you struggle to reach out to your friends because of anxiety or other metal health issues you just need to show you appreciate them for being the one to reach out. Let them know that *they're* doing *you* a favor and not the other way around.
im pretty sure im the friend who always talks about myself. my friend tried to vent to me and i end up venting to her. i kind of hate that about me- but shes quite toxic- she only texts me when she needs something, or when she wants to vent- never any other time. i always have to ask to hang out or else its silence in our chat- even when i go over- which was once every day of my life- she just plays on her phone. no attention towards me. she ignores me half the time too. ive learnt to try and keep my feelings to myself away from her cause she tends to use that against me. but i do always end up venting to her when she wants to talk cause i feel like thats the only change i could ever get to vent to someone i couldve trusted- until i found out she was extremely toxic.
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.
Thank you! (A bit of a story but more of a vent-) There were a few months when my two best friends always asked me for help and rarely messaged me when they didn’t need it. Dean would still ask me how I was doing and reply to most of my messages but he always said goodbye when his girlfriend (my other best friend) was online but it was still understandable. They were a couple and they liked each other a lot, so of course he’d choose to talk to his girlfriend. I always knew his girlfriends were very important to him, I knew he’d choose them over a friend so I wasn’t surprised. My other best friend pretty much never reached out to me unless I messaged her first, she would often ignore my messages and leave them on read until she was finished playing a game or playing with her friends. She was having a tough time at home so I did try to be understanding but it went on for months. One day, I just had it. I joined her and tried to talk to her again like we used to, Dean and her friend Luna was there too so I private messaged her. I tried to spark a conversation with her but after a few minutes, it was a little too obvious that she didn’t want to talk so I left. I waited for a little while afterwards but she didn’t message me at all and that’s when I got mad. I was never a patient person but this time, I think I can say at least I tried. I unfriended her on a whim (not really a whim) and unfriended Dean too, I was quite sure he’d add us in a group chat and ask me why I unfriended her. I hated confrontation and thought about talking to them again after things cool down a bit but a few days later, I checked and neither of them tried to reach out. I think that’s when it hit me but ‘Maybe I was the only one thinking we were best friends after all…’ It was honestly hard and I came to regret my decision. I would rather they ignore me than to lose them completely but I didn’t reach out either, a part of me was mad that our years and months together meant so little to them. Luckily I still had my brother and sister so I gamed with my brother on a daily basis. I knew it wasn’t healthy and it wasn’t a good habit to have but I spent a lot of time with him. When he was busy, I’d get him gifts in a game and when he wasn’t busy, we’d play and talk all day, that went on for months. I honestly didn’t miss my best friends much, my brother never asked about them either. Lately I reached out to them, it’s been a year and I think I owe Dean an apology. I hate to say it but I also owe my other ‘best friend’ an apology for leaving, I don’t think I’ll talk to her much though. Dean and her broke up so there isn’t much reason for me to talk to her unless she’s having a really hard time. Well it’s not really my problem now since we aren’t even friends, is it? Still I don’t hate or dislike Dean, I hope I can talk to him a few times every week. He used to help me and I used to help him, I really enjoy being with Dean. I met Dean much earlier than I met her so we were also much closer in my opinion. I’m planning on sending her a few messages at first and one conversation every month or two, I’m quite happy with my life, honest. My brother and I aren’t too close right now because of a mistake I made but I hope to make it up to him and thank him. He’s always been there for me and he’s always helping me out, I owe him a lot. I also hurt him for a year because of my stupid mistake but I’m hoping to fix it, he isn’t someone I’ll let go of unless he doesn’t want me anymore. - Wednesday 18 August 2021
Just want to say before you stop being friends with anyone: in my opinion you should 100% talk to them first before making a move. This gives you both the opportunity to work things out and understand why they do the things they do I believe. Edit: I would like to also mention how sometimes it is not a good idea to give someone a chance based on the circumstances. Such as them not willing to listen or comply with the chance you give them. But it's still not a horrible idea to give everyone a second chance as long as they don't take it for granted.
Absolutely! I speak from hard experience, because I give people plenty of slack from the beginning. If they make a mistake or two I might help them untangle things, or give more slack so they can figure it out for themselves. This can go on for years, or it can be over fairly quickly, though I totally understand the phrase, "give enough slack to hang themselves with" because the truly unworthy person will. At some point it's just unworkable anymore, and they usually know it at least as well as I do by then.
I got gaslighted and blocked lmao after multiple tries at that “stop questioning my loyalty” she said after I addressed her literally talking crap about me with literal proof smh I shoulda just ended the friendship. We’re adults btw.
Why go through even more drama. Its better to just up and go an never explain what happened. Because youll only help them hide how toxic they are because they will learn what drove you away. Its better to let them figure it out if they ever do. Just focus on you. They don't care about your feelings.
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'd like to say that usually cutting your friends off immediately is a bad idea. Sometimes, you should confront them about it first. They might not realize that they're doing it, and you might actually help them out by pushing them to be a better friend. If they refuse to grow, THEN you can cut them off, and only after they start trying to improve themselves should you give them a second chance.
I've always expressed but there are 4 and 5 and 3 and the one who needs something and they've apologized and came back and I've completely just distanced myself because it hurts me and i have another who act likes she benefiting me and idk man i rather just stay to myself, she just always talking bout her problems and i give her advice and she doesn't take it at all just wants me to feel bad and like its to draining to deal with anymore i wish her the best
@@drunknown422 because if you made those mistakes, you would want one. One of the things that makes "villains" is people lacking the capacity to forgive You don't have to if you don't want to, but that is my personal philosophy
@@WonToTwee yes, I have this friend who always talks behind people's backs and makes remarks, I know she had a lot of things that going on for her but it's still no excuse to how she acts, she also talks down to someone I really care about, so I'm going to try to confront her about it soon, if not, then it's okay I'm not going to the same high school as her anyways
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.
You don't have friends How lucky .. Actually you don't need them,bc they just want to be with you for some reason,they don't want to be with you bc they're interested in you or like you,in my opinion,the life that you have without friends is the best life that anny one can have,if you see the other people happy with their friends,they are just acting to be good person is the others mind so if you are searching for a friend,you should stop and come back to your room to watch memes like me:-) I wrote a lot right sorry for that...
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
I've had tons.of friendships that ended badly. Too many. Mostly because I never left when I saw red-flags. I was loyal, attentive, selfless, and above all else made an effort. But unfortunately plenty of people do not understand these qualities within someone and will take your kindness for weakness. Nearly everytime. And worst of all, give you excuses when they don't adhere to their own word. Personally, if I were to offer any advice to anyone it's this -- Don't expect perfection but expect to be treated the way you treat them, and if they don't, won't, or can't, they aren't a true friend. Period. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Life is too short to put your all into the kinda, sorta, maybe people who don't see your worth and treat you the way you deserve. So you have to find the ones that do. And they're out there, unfortunately you just have to get through the shit before you find the gold. But when you do, it'll be the true friends who treat you the way you deserve and will never take you for granted. Then it'll all be worth it. Trust me.
Well, my “best-friend” and I were keeping a nice relationship but just a few weeks ago she stopped talking, only sometimes. she always cancel plans and now we only text if it’s for schoolwork. It’s mostly like 95% school and 5% actually talking to eachother. But now she’s trying to cut me off for even for school, like for example I asked her a question and wondered if she could help me , normally she’s always here to help but she said she isn’t want to help me without any reason. We keep getting distant, and idk what to do.
Tbh if i make more friends i would usually be happy and just feel like i own the world but ofc alot of friends meaning that imposters having a chance to hide in every corner
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
i just realized that i am the fourthy type of toxic friend, but i just dont really care because i am so pride so it can be hard for me to have some good relationships
The worst part about this would be someone who constantly talks about themselves, ask only for your help and doesn't invite you for any good moment whatsoever BUT COMES HERE and say that you're someone who's talking down when you highlight what they do. That is Gaslighting at its finest ladies and gentlemen.
Uff I’m the third one, never reaching out- I just assume I’m not fun to be around so I just separate myself from them; I don’t mean to hurt them in any way at all, just been in a weird mood lately which causes me to cut off contact with so many people. Thank you for the video though, I hope to improve myself to become a better friend
I am experiencing the complete opposite... There's this friend that I really care about because we've been through things for like 2 years now but it has never been this bad. Trying to reach out only to get one reply and afterwards I get ghosted, it's not like I don't want to talk with them but if they can't even reply me when I am trying to initiate a conversation just makes me feel unwanted and wondering why I even bother in the first place :/ Not sure how to fix that though.
I just got out of a toxic bestie situation.we used to be extremely close but would often get into fights when I felt like I was being ignored and forgotten. I used to be naive. For 4 years I was made to believe I am immature and incapable of selfless love. I failed to recognise the countless other people who were there for me. She abandoned me the moment she got a bf. I broke. I'm in my healing period now but realised. She was everything this video spoke about. Made me realise how foolish I was to stay when everyone I knew told me they were tired of seeing me depressed and used. Pretty much venting in public right now. But learning to let go. That's a very important lesson I hope people learn without it destroying them.
I’ve been a terrible friend. I’ve mistreated my friends just this year and I kept on messing up because I never realized how toxic I was until now. Now I’ve started to improve but I think almost all of them are giving up on me- they think I’ll never change. They all doubt me
At least you've acknowledged your toxicity and now doing what you can to improve yourself, maybe, the new friends that you'll make will see the better you
If you realized your mistake and are sorry for that, they your are good human. It's okay to make mistakes but the important thing is to realize it and make yourself better tomorrow. Keep on improving 👍
Dude, what you just said right now is amazing, continue on your efforts with that will to change and you won't have to worry about that too much in the future, it's really cool to see someone saying how they were wrong and wanna change for the better ^^
Same as me I have realised thing after I saw this video so I will try to be better . Well............ I am an introvert so I have no Idea how to strike a conversation. It becomes VERY AWKWARD 😅🥺😭
you know what... *I don't need friends, they disappoint me* but whoever realized your one of the top above. It's okay being self aware is the number 1 step to change your ways and actions we're all human.
Another really toxic type is the gossiper: Someone who calls me his "girl best friend" (which he don't is to me but that's a diffrent story) wanted to force me to unfriend a girl just because she rejected his best friend. I ended up lying that I would do it but I'm still friends with her till today
@@kelechi9854 As I said we talked this out about half a year afterwards. I explained him how I felt back then and he at least seemed to understand my position (even though I have my doubts on how empathic he actually is but that's a diffrent story). While he didn't put me in such a situation again deep down inside I can't guarantee myself that it won't happen again. As already said I'm still friends with that girl. It's kinda one of these open secrets
As someone who is autistic and has ADHD i personally struggle with a few of these. I accidentally end up sending full on books about my day because every little thing is interesting to me. I feel so bad about it and my friends definitely hate it and so I try to stop as much as possible. I also end up turning things around accidentally making them about me. I hate to admit it but I've definitely been guilty of it. It definitely hurts to know that i could be considered toxic but it's also a good thing for me to try and change!
That’s not your fault! You should sit down with your friends at a time they aren’t venting to you, and explain and apologise. If they are good friends, they will understand. 🙃
Same!! I like to talk to people about my recent hyper fixations and stuff cause i like sharing about my life but I'm worried I might be making it too much about me and not enough about them.

Some nuances to consider! On never reaching out: Sometimes people isolate due to mental illness or addiction. Always keep this in mind, some folks aren't trying to put the responsibility on you, they're just struggling. On making things about themselves: neurodivergent people often relate to others by bringing up personal experience to show they understand! It's not always an attempt at monopolizing a conversation. Just a reminder to give people space to be human, not everything fits in neat, clear-cut boxes!
@@AwesomeRace7 The definition on google says, "Differing in mental or neurological function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders); not neurotypical." Other psychological disorders are considered neurodivergent as well outside of ASD, but that's what's usually being referred to :)
I can personally relate to this. As much as I hate it, it's not like I don't have time for the people I rarely contact. It's more of a feeling that they don't want to talk to me, and not wanting to bother them in their world.
I've had a friend who was Toxic anytime I stood up for myself or said I didn't like something, she'd just turn around and say I did the same thing, I always felt like I had to walk on eggshells around her, for instance, If I said something even playfully that she didn't like she would just get up and leave, I was always there for her, and I'm not saying I'm completely blameless but it always felt unfair and unbalanced, she told me sorry a handful of times and made fun of me.
@@BrooklynJewel if you don't feel completely loved, even through hard times, it may be time to let go of this friend and make sure you're being the type of friend you wanna be. Then look for the awesome, caring, giving friends you deserve!

Having a friend that gaslights you is really painful, I just got out of that kind relationship and it was really tRaUmAtIzIng because, of course she was the one that ended the relationship and told everyone that I tried to sabotage her, so guys be careful who you befriend because I don’t wish anyone what I’ve been through not even to that friend because it drains all your energy and love of life, I’m still healing but now thanks to you PsychToGo I now understand how toxic of a friendship it was :)))

Used to have “friends” that were so mean to me that I didn’t understand how a real friendship was supposed to feel like. Looking back, they weren’t even my friends, they were literal bullies. Talking down on me, never including me, constantly ignoring me, making fun of me, laughing at me, constantly pointing out my flaws and more. Hell, one of them even told me that she would become very happy if I died as a “joke”. They both left me scarred for life. I’ll never forgive them for that.
I was in that exact situation for quite awhile. You get so used to their abusive behavior towards you that you think it’s normal. When someone actually treats you with respect and dignity, it kind of throws you off at first and you don’t know what to make of it.
wow i now realized that they were so abusive to me and i thought its a normal thing... would be kinda great if i had a friend who actually treats me with respect and sees me as a friend as well😑
@@captaineasychord1 that exact thing just happened to me in highschool a month or two ago.

I'm the friend who never reaches out but I'm always waiting for my friend to message first cuz if I contact her first I feel like I'm disturbing her. She likes talking about herself which I'm very comfortable with cuz it's good knowing more about your friend.
I recently found this video, and I want to say thank you for making it. I never really understood what made good friends and what didn't for the longest time, a lot of my 'friends' were a mixture of the first four, especially the gaslighting and the never reaching out. I always put so much energy into them, and the energy back was never equal or never there at all. I've been working on the good friendships I have, and retaining them, and so far my life has been getting better from it but... My issue is with people who don't reach out in return. Its hard to tell which ones really care, or truly don't care at times. I'm quite social and I know some people are a bit more introverted but some people also just don't care. That's the part where I don't know how to tell if someone is just a friend that has troubles sometimes or a friend that doesn't care.
i remember having a friend that would probably have his own category here: the obsessive/pampering friend. basically, the person is pretty chill at first, and you quickly get along with each other. in fact, it's really fast how it happens, and soon enough they're already in your circle of friends. but soon it feels like the friendship's going _too_ fast and it feels off. like, it's been only a few weeks and they already want to visit your house and they always pester you about it. they also slowly start pushing you away from other friends to make more time for them. they may even start acting hostile towards you other friends and then only act kind and sweet towards you. and then before you realise it, they're already trying to insert themselves into _every single_ social situation you're in, and even start following you around (at least, with what i've experienced), and it's to the point where even thinking about their presence makes you feel uncomfortable. in some cases, they may even try to start a relationship too soon. they constantly pamper and kind of obsess over you, hence the name. i had a friend like this as a kid, who i'm gonna call V, and long story short, everything i've described above applies to his behaviour. he started the friendship way too fast and tried to cut me off from everyone, starting small with an argument between one of the my other friends to try to separate him from us. there was even an incident where i was talking with another friend privately about this situation, and i looked behind my shoulder and V was there, following us from a distance and trying to get close. we told him it was a private conversation from the get-go, but he just kept persisting. i'm glad i managed to get away from him in time before it got _really_ bad.
this used to be me in primary i didnt realise it until my friend told me about it she told me that she has her own social circle and friends, and her social circle shouldnt revolve around me only im very grateful and glad that she told me about thsi and i get to realise how bad my actions were and i feel sorry for my primary friend i no longer do this anymore :D
I was a little like this but I wasn't hostile to other people. I was glad to be able to talk to anyone else as well. I even tried to help bring a friend back into our little circle when they got into an argument because I wanted them to still be friends. I just always wanted to be with that one person because I felt safe since I was bullied a lot. I also had it stuck in my mind that being a best friend is having 1 person you always want to do everything with so that didn't help either 🤦♀️. There were a lot of red flags that should have told me to start finding other friends but I was super weird so it didn't take much for people to go from hi to oh eew go die in the corner no one wants you here. Luckily I was able to find more friends in highschool, I stopped talking to that 1 friend and I was actually able to enjoy being in school
I also had a friend like that I honestly didn't really realize that I wasn't hanging out with my other friends into it was too late, and I had no one to talk to. I'm glad you got out of that situation it's hard to get out of it.
My advice to anyone here is never let anyone walk over your boundaries, if someone doesn't want to be there for you in the good and bad times, try not to let them have full access to you. What I learned is you are the main character in your life and for most people, you are no more than background or side character, sometimes the antagonist. Put yourself first and trust your gut, if you feel a friendship is too transactional, walk away if that's the best move for you.
1.) Always needs something (never give back) 2.) Gaslights you (constantly blames you) 3.) Never reaches out to you (you keep maintaining the relationship) 4.) Always talks about themselves (always end up being about themselves) 5.) Ways talks down to you (goes out of their way to make you feel lesser)
Ye all these things are happening to me rn and im fukin broked up ... i dont have any friends man ... thing to remember-only friend of yours is your family , tell them the things instead of sharing it to the anonymous
6. A friend who constantly tries to monopolise or ruin your relationships “Does your friend always seem to ask personal questions about your relationship to your partner but not you, do they do everything they can to convince your partner they should get with someone else simply because they can’t stand to see you happy, chances are they doing this because they aren’t happy with themselves and are looking for a way to air off their own insecurities that they deny to themselves, so if you have a friend that consistently goes behind your back whenever your out with your partner and tries to get them with anyone but you then it’s time to draw the line and cut those toxic friends out of your life for good”.
@@flameyt4149 no by partner I mean someone who I’m in a relationship with but people who I thought were friends will ask personal questions and try to get them with someone else when I’ve done nothing to them so fed up with it and don’t really hang with them anymore it’s the reason why I don’t have friends coz I only trust my partner no else
I definitely used to be this kind of person a few years back. But I grew as a person and no longer do that kind of stuff. It’s always good to see where you have improved as a person or confess you were that person but are no longer that type
I would add a 6th category : the pushovers. People with no respect of our boundaries, always asking (or rather ordering) that we do this and that. "Answer my texts right away next time!" "We'll go see a movie this saturday don't be late! What do you mean you can't? I said we're going!" It's easy to stay with these people when we fear we would be alone and don't appreciate that. That makes us blind to these misbehaviors and we end up feeling worse everytime.
Run, run, run away from people like that!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 A true friend will not bully you into plans that they made without consulting you and will not demand that you be at their beck and call. It's better to be alone than to be with a bully.
I've had one-sided friendships for years. I pulled all the weight, always was the one to reach out and ask to hang out... They haven't asked about me for ages, even now that I've stopped asking after them. I got exhausted trying to pull us together. I liked hanging with them, but it hurts, so so much, that I wasn't interesting enough for them to bother anylonger. I feel like a complete outsider. My only friends left are one who lives on the other side of the planet after moving, I can only chat with her online but maybe she'll visit this year, and then there's my best friend, the very first I made in this area. I'll just have to trust that they won't leave me like everybody else has.
Have you ever thought that they might be going through tough things at the moment and aren't mentally capable to reciprocate? Maybe your energy is off and too upbeat while they're experiencing truly trying times, and they're protecting you from their negative energy. Or they feel you wouldn't understand. You're on a psych channel, surely you understand that trauma can cause people to withdraw and lose trust in others? Of course, that's all a big if. Depends on if they're only singling you out for this, or it's been a general behaviour change.
This describes me extremely well. Most of my former friendships were one-sided. Now I only have one real friend, but she is one of the best friends I could have asked for.
Same, I always carried about friends and chatting with them, whilst quarantine was going, mostly when I texted someone I don't get responds. This was like sitting just with yourself typing to friend like 'Hey bro, wanna play some games?' and getting ignored, every day. After some time (like years) I just get used to it and start enjoying my loneliness.
@@Un1234l Oh, trust me, I'm not too upbeat. With them I'm more quiet and shy, we could laugh every now and then, sometimes a lot. I gotta say, they're a bit younger than me, they're still technically kids I think, one is probably a teen now, so they might not understand what they're doing, but I've heard and I think seen that they have other friends that they hang out with more, so it's just me they lost interest in. And it can't be just because I'm getting older (I'm 16 now), back when I was 12 and 13 they were being forgetful even then. We could still come up with things to do that are suitable for all of us, I'm not a teenager that looks down on "childish" games, but I'm not good enough. I'll get over it eventually, though.
I feel kinda bad because I’ve been the friend who never reaches out, but it’s the anxiety and depression that make me isolate myself from everyone. The past 7 years have been tough.
Don't feel bad about not reaching out. That doesn't make you toxic. Toxic is when you take something from someone for your own benefit while hurting/ harming the giver in the proces. Have you ever harmed anyone by not reaching out? If you meet up with a friend, who has done all the 'reaching out', and you treat him like crap then yes you are a toxic person. If you don't reach out to people who are dependent on you and you are responsible for them, like your kids, yes you are toxic. If you don't reach out to someone because you are not in a place to socialize and want to protect yourself and work on yourself, how are you a toxic friend? That's bullshit. Toxic people do ghost people too, but they do it with the intention that they can't benefit from you anymore. And like the video mentioned, when they do meet up they act like they are doing you a favor. Because in their head, they don't like you and they actually do think it's a favor to meet up with you. Don't blindly believe everything that is being said. stay critical. don't even believe me. thanks for reading my long a** paragraph
1 - The friend who always needs something: ...good thing covid came 2 - The friend who gas lights you: manipulating a person...good thing I know his a narcissist 3 - The friend who never reaches out to you: one-sided investment...I mean it can change, right? 4 - The friend who always talk about themselves: I mean she's a good friend, you know? I get to practice counselling and my patience ^ w ^ 5 - The friend who always talks down on you: nope, never met one, sounds like an a**
@@gigimargal9234 omg it's the same thing for me too. It's really annoying bc she don't care about me at all. And she's here like give me something and after that she don't want to talk to me. And when i ask her she said that what i'm doing for her was nothing
A lot of these points apply to me actually. Funny thing is I am usually aware of that and more often than not communicated openly when I don't see a relationship as proper friendship because of that (formerly trying to avoid "making friends" as much as possible for the longest time after noticing my feelings in highschool), but it often gets dismissed because people keep insisting on their own definitions of what friendship is, and oddly enough it NEVER has to do with genuine mutual care and chemistry. Now I am left with a truckload's worth of shame, guilt, hatred and a broken, repressed identity because I was doing very badly in general with self-doubts and lack of control and I don't see myself ever recovering. I never genuinely cared for another person in my entire life, which is something that kept nagging me because I know it's sus as hell (just like the total lack of any passion, curiosity, talent, grit or anything else that's considered good). But I really don't know what I'm supposed to do about it. Trying to force it anyway just drove me mad. It almost works in fantasies (that I'm not able to have anymore), but that's about it.
The worst thing is that i can't say no when they need something and when i try to tell them kindly that i can't be online 24/7 and have other things to do instead of chatting all day they start gossiping and now many people hate me because of the rumors that i'm an unfriendly person who ignores texts from friends. After seeing this video and also because of this experience i don't want friends anymore. It's better to be alone.
I know your pain, They doing this make them feel better about themself using you like a string around your wrist. Grossip won't last forever till they get it or not! Types of people can do to harass you if keep going you got to use screenshots or voice recorder on phone in real life post it on social media that your a hero that is a must! Also if you proof them I guess people going be side with them then you if don't work
Those people who did this to were not your friends, but it doesn't mean you should give up on being with people. You are the main character of your life, but you need side characters as well. And the villian is also a need. Those people should know that maybe you weren't there for them 24/7, but the effort you put into being with them is incomparable. Also about the gossiping, people who gossip about you being unfriendly, must not, and will not make you unfriendly.
You’ll need to learn how to stand up for yourself and be firm while standing your ground, centered in your truth. Otherwise, you’ll notice that you fell for the bait, didn’t live out your goals and dreams, didn’t explore other opportunities and people, and you’ll die being miserable. Stop holding yourself back from growing and trying to control things such as rumours when that’s out of your control. Control yourself instead and stop trying to please others that don’t give a flying duck about you. All the best friend and I pray that the universe is with you every step of the way in life, make the right decision and grow!! Move on, everyone that talked shit about me and beloved the rumours cane back apologizing...I ignored them and set the tone once again. 27 and I’m living an amazing life😎
And also I was in the MMO gaming community group. They also can gossip, be toxic, harass me I have been kicked in the axx several times. But I keep losing interest in the things I love were started my depression. I was playing a lot of games same thing over and yeah things get worse to me. But please don't go threw like these people!
i feel like sometimes i take my closest friend for granted, when i get busy i tend to forget about contacting them or just constantly putting it off to later, till i realised that my friend got really distanced from me and got hurt from my attitude of neglect, i'm trying to stop taking them for granted and to show them my appreciation for being my friend through all what we've been through.
0:56- The friend who always needs something 2:03- The friend who gas lights you 2:38- The friend who never reaches out to you 3:17- The friend who talk always about themselves 3:58- The friend who talks down on you
i was always the friend who never reached out unless i needed a favour, although i would have done anything for them at the time. i didnt stop reaching out on random, nobody ever reached out to me so i decided it wasnt worth it. ended in getting ditched and ditching everyone else, too. pretty sure they forgot about me though and honestly feel better without any of them. its not always bad having no friends - sometimes its better off.
I used to put much effort into making friends, but always ended up being the side that put effort into the relationship, so I just kinda gave up on making friends, cause it always makes me feel like I'm an unlikable and uninteresting person.
I feel you but in another way, I stopped putting any sort of effort into making friends a time ago, by that time, I used to hear other students (not only from my class specifically) that they for some reason feared me, just by the fact that I just stay on my own personal space and not that much social, and honestly, that was a tiny bit uncomfortable to hear and have the eyes of judgment all over me, to this day I still do, but It doesn't effect as much as it used to.
I have a lot of one-sided relationships. I seem to be the only one putting in the effort to check in on them and see how they're doing. God, this hurts. Once I care about someone it's hard for me to NOT care.
I feel you! I think it’s okay for some friendships like if I had a deep connection with them and when we hang out we enjoy each other’s company it doesn’t bother me as much. Compared to a friend that didn’t have any deep conversations with it makes me feel used and like they don’t care. And this one friend keeps making excuses for not reaching out more and when they do it’s only about them.
I freaking swear I relate to this too much. Literally, two tears ago before the pandemic hit, I had some pretty good friends, and a really close one. I would talk to them a lot, as I had like three classes together with them, which were in order, so we had a long period of time to talk. We did argue a lot, as she was quite sensitive and I'll admit, I wasn't the nicest person back then. After the pandemic took a toll on the education system, a lot of my friends simply stopped talking to me and practically all the time I need to be the one talking to them before they say anything. I really don't think it was the pandemic that caused my one-sided friendships, it's probably just that after a school year has passed, I'm usually the one carrying the relationship. It has happened years before the pandemic many times. Random note: I've been in a friend group of four people twice in my life (it's insanely hard to get one now but easier when you're younger), and both times I'm usually the weirdo and the nerd at the same time. The first time I caught one of the people in the friend group writing a letter explaining why I should be excluded from the group for about a week, and I was kinda sad. The second group, contained two twins, a BTS Stan (how the absolute frick did she manage to get friends, she did nothing but talk about it and play Korean rythmn games), and there was me. Usually I was the one to make people laugh because I was outgoing, but now I think I was just weird and I also think that everyone is boring lol. I pretty much just got slowly but surely removed from the group, and to this day, I can catch the friend group grinding on games without me. It doesn't even hurt, I just feel determined to get new friends, as everytime I think about it, I just feel compelled to put my past behind me and to basically start a new life. How did you read all of this? I literally ranted to complete strangers on the internet because that's how sad life is bruh
I'm in the same boat as you with multiple people, most of my friendships are like that. I'm always the one reaching out- it's not as if they act like they're doing me a favor by replying to messages, but it certainly can be exhausting at times. Since I know if I'm not reaching out to them when I can, the friendship will most likely just poof, like it never happened at all. That fact deeply saddens me- and I want to believe my friends do have their reasons for never being the ones to talk to me first, but it's hard sometimes.
I had a friend that I considered my bestie. And at that time, supposedly so did she consider me. I met her at a workplace. We hit it off famously. People would ask us if we were sisters. She invited my husband and I out to her home to visit & meet her husband. I really did think I was special when her husband mentioned that she is hard to get to know and didn't think she had ever invited someone home this quickly.. Anyway, I would help her undergo some projects at her house. Painting, gardening & landscaping, restoring a wagon.. yea, not lightweight stuff and after awhile, I began to reflect onto my place and how much it too could benefit from the same & together there was nothing we couldnt do. So one day I mentioned this and 'oh of course we will - we will fix you up to' Years passed and nothing changed. Then when finally satisfied (I guess) We tried to plan for me but then she was working too many hours, had too much laundry this time, etc. . Then her check in phone calls became less and less.. I desperately needed a place to stay after trouble in paradise but there wasn't enough room for me. So I stayed with husband because although not "together", we remained good friends. He was my best friend. I'd try keeping in touch with text & at first she would respond but that became less and less as well. Then responding ceased altogether.... Then January of this year, my husband surprised everyone by having a fatal heart attack. I knew that the news would effect her some and wasn't announced in much media, etc.., SO, I did text her. I simply sent his picture with his birthrate & date of his passing.. She did respond and acted as though we never lost touch.. "oh my God honey, what happrned?" I replied with: " why have you been ignoring me and my texts?" NO response.. then I sent "oh ok, so you have nothing to say?" She said "because I don't know what to say, I didn't think I was".. I responded "OK sure, if you say so." All she'd have to do is read for herself the last 10 or so texts in our history so see that I am correct. We've been silent ever since. If that is her true colors, I prefer that.
#3 is also just every introvert ever. I'll go months without feeling a need to talk to someone sometimes, and then I'll feel awkward because it's been months since I talked to them.
This sounds just like my brother - except he is worse. Can you imagine growing up with a person like this, and never being able to escape their presence...
here are tips "i usually do this" 1.beat him/her up 2.beat him/her up again me and my brother do this almost everytime that it gets to the point not even my Dad and Mom can control LMAO 🤣
(edited 6/8) two months ago, i wrote how i felt like my friends ignored me and i overall just had a one-sided relationship. to those who have felt similar, i’ve found some helpful information that may lift your spirits :) ❤️ there are people who will be your friend but eventually they may turn toxic. yes, this is an unhealthy relationship. if you are afraid to cut ties with a toxic friend because it may hurt them, chances are, it’s hurting you more. do not be afraid to cut ties; you are not responsible for anyones happiness. ❤️ attempt to engage your buddies with conversations and activities. you’ll know who your real friends are if they truly care about you. if they are fake, i promise it’s better off to take time alone with yourself. ❤️ don’t jump to conclusions. as harsh as it sounds, you might not consider what’s happening in another persons head. they may not even know you feel left out. should this be the case, let them know how you feel. ❤️ remember to love yourself. despite what others may tell you (or what you tell yourself) you are human. someone will always care. hope this helped :)
Well, your not the only one. I had a friend i knew for over 10 years when we outgrow each other. He became pretty toxic and selfish and once i had enough of this behavior and asked why am i deserving this, it was lots of talk talk talk to make it ok.. again. This continued for a couple more years till i really had enough of these lies. I rather to be alone now instead of being with him again.
ADHD with serious friendship dysfunction here. The best thing about friendships, is unlike relationships, you aren't a cheater for looking for better choices while still keeping the crappy ones you have. Go for it!
If the person you bound yourself to is doing everything to pull you both down, cut that bind. Nothing kills you more than keeping an ungrateful brat afloat.
U know what I have a friend my best friend actually we have been friends since preschool and when I saw number 4 it made me realize that they (she is gender fluid) do that to me all the time like when I would try talking about how I found out that my dad tried kidnapping me more than once (I live in weitchpec Hoopa California so it's not like out in the cities) when I was little and that I might just have some undiscovered trauma from the experience she cut me off and started talking about who bad her relationship with her dad was (still talks about it to this day she just uses him for money as he has nothing else to give her) and it made me upset but I am what my friends call "the pink unicorn" of the group so I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I just listened, she also hits me ever time I see her (like she slaps me in the face or kicks me she can't scratch me right know she doesn't have fingernails) but that's just how she is my other friends tell me she isn't nice but it's always been like this she hits me, bites our child (we like to say we adopted my fav cousin) and I help her through everything but don't get it wrong she does contribute to our relationship she tells me not to do drugs or smoke or any of that stuff. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that she is supposed to be moving soon and she seems to be getting more distant from me ever since we came back from home studies so I can understand were your coming from and I hope u can try to either fix your friendship or find someone who actually cares 😁
I recently joined this friend group that i didnt wanna join in the first place but im too embarrassed to say no. I only joined their group for one person i wanted to talk to since i saw her. They make fun of me all the time making fun of anything that i do and it brings me down. I wanna get to know the girl i wanted to friend, but she is always with them, and they literally control her because she thinks they are very nice because they friend her. They were making me so uncomfortable and always told me they wanted to cheat off of me in front of me. I started talking to them less every day, and now im always sitting alone doing nothing and no one even bothers to help me. They always try to make me do their homeworks basically using me. The class basically hates me. Couldnt care less but i have been lonely for 2 years with no friends and its driving me crazy.
I've been the first friend. I'm terrible with starting conversations, so I mostly only messaged my friends over quarantine about homework and such. Also doubted anyone actually wanted to talk to me anyway, so I figured trying to start a conversation would just bore them. I guess a lot of the isolation I felt was my fault in the end
That is literally me. I always feel like no one is interested in whatever I say. So in order to talk someone I usually talk about things like homework or such in order to avoid unnecessary talk. I know it is not like that but in my classmates' presence I often feel like that. It bothers me a lot and I struggle making friends due to this.......Any suggestions on how to get out of this problem?
@@KYC17_YT Hey there I’ve encountered the same before. I’ve had low self-esteem since I was younger so I always expected that nobody would really want to engage in a convo with me. The best way to go abt it is to never make the assumption that they won’t listen to u in the first place. When we already expect it to come, we often drive people away. People respond and listen in different ways so if you feel you’re not listened to, perhaps they just express their interest in a different way. If that’s not a case, I suggest you find another group of people you share interests with. You may not feel secure sharing stuff at first but def walk at ur own pace. Maybe start by sharing what happened in ur day etc. Anyhow this is from experience I hope things get good for you
I used to have a “better than nothing” mindset about friends. In my last year of high school I finally started filtering out friends who didn’t meet my standard - all of them falling into one of these categories - and by the time prom came around I had no one left. I had to restart with a fresh pallet. I’m now going into my last year of uni and slowly but surely I now have a good number of quality friends :) don’t settle for less than you deserve!!!
I had somewhat of a similar experience, except for the fact that I only had one friend, and there were many in my circle that really wanted to be friends with me, but I did NOT trust them at all for MANY reasons.
i think i was behaving like a toxic "friend" knowingly or unknowingly i guess i'll pay more attention from now on thanks for the video it was making me recognise where i stand in a friendship relationship
I think I’m the kind of friend that always tell my friends to do something one of my friends start to express how they feel then I realise I wasn’t doing the right thing thanks for explaining how to be a good friend. I also found out another kind of friend I have in my life she always blackmail me and also only talks to me when others are not there I feel sad and also I saw her being mean to the young people and makes me feel uncomfortable😢
Same. I lost way too many friends cuz im a d1ckhead to them, but i deal with sh1t. No excuse but sh1t has its toll on me :( i wish people understood that but they dont, theyd rather turn away from me than understand support and be there for me so i can be there for them. Im 17 and struggling making friends and keeping them. So much wrong could be with me.
I actually happen to like being friends with people who always talk about their own problems..It doesn't bother me at all because I get something wonderful out of helping or being of service to people in need. I feel like it's my life purpose 🤷.
1. The friend who always needs something (0:58) 2. The friend who gaslights you (2:03) 3. The friend who never reaches out to you (2:40) 4. The friend who always talks about themselves (3:18) 5. The friend who always talks down on you (3:59) I hope this will helps ☺
Everybody is out here with good advice and encouragement and the only thing I can think of is "Man, that's definitely Dream and that's really funny." I'm so good at paying attention.
This is my number one pick for top 5 types of videos that grossly simplify interpersonal relationships and should thusly be neglected when making decisions to cut off people you've been with.
I had "friends" who fit the bill on some of these and started to feel like the friend nobody likes. Luckily I was able to find a new group who would never make me feel that way.
THis video amuses me as it furthered my belief that cutting out almost all the people I once considered friends were truly toxic. Over the years I believed them when they'd say they would change. But each of them were at least a combination of 2 or more of these types listed. It took a family member going through one of the worst things one can in life to put into perspective just how evil and malicious these people were. I've been free of them for about a year now but I can't help to think about just how many people like that are out there. Stay safe, everyone and don't be like me. Act sooner rather than later.
The worst possible situation is having a toxic friend of yours be part of a friend group you're in where it seems like you're the only one who sees their toxicity, but you don't want to just leave the entire friend group because of them.
Im on this situation too but this time with my classmates, most of them are friends with her, and yesterday she gaslighted me because i talk about her pfp and thinking i call her a copycat due to my status but im actually referring to a copycat on instagram, I'm kind of scared to expose her toxic relationship cause no.1 my mother and her mother will just simply have a problem after this, no.2 my classmates will still side with her and will probs defend her because she's different. I mean wdym by different?? She was gaslighting me because she assumed that i called her a copycat. When im actually referring to a different thing and that i was curious, I want to tell her parents to educate a child like her but my mom saids that i should avoid her instead Edit: plus before that she showed that she cared about me about what happened to the gc, but after that she simply gaslighted me😐
@@Ali-se3gb yep, i alr opened this problem and swore that she'll not gonna do that, she has been doing this not weeks ago but a year ago. That's why i opened it to my classmate and adviser cause like what did she do is too much, and also she is aware about her bad personality yet she never choose to change? And still proud of it? Like wow she never deserve to be in the same school as i was
And good thing my classmates believe me and choose me instead of her, and lmao her reaction was like she is mad like wow okok like after sum shii she did to me then she's just gonna get mad because ur the problem? How about go look at the mirror cause im not her mirror
On the topic of making the conversation always about you: Do not conflate sharing your experiences with a similar problem with talking about your woes. That is often a very supportive action to take, explaining how the issue can be beaten, and maybe offering the person currently having the issue a bit of hope, or feeling like you are someone they can come to for opinions on how to approach the issue. Just don't fall into the trap of assuming what worked for you will work for them just because. That's part of making it about yourself, albeit in a more insidious fashion.
I agree, and also somtimes somone telling you about thier problems can cause people to vent back becaus they finally met somone who is willing to talk about that kind of stuff. It can be toxic but it can also be out of desperation, as long as they come back to you on your issues and talk to you about them it shows they care.
Spurious correlations can be hard to detect. Thinking about when a situation is actually similar and can truly help in finding a solution to another can be hard to connect. Also: Furry boi? One of us, one of us.
I'm most guilty of the "talking about myself" one - I try to keep it in mind when I'm talking to people these days. Sometimes, just shutting up, listening and following up on what they say by asking about them is the best course of action.
Hey. Stay strong. There are still good people out there. Just gotta start looking for people who have the qualities you want. It's possible you may have found a narcissist. Look for someone who wants what is best for you. You'll be OK. Sending good luck your way. 🤗

Both me and my friend needed this video in our lives because she’s dealing with some bad friendships, and I’m trying to make sure I’m being a good friend
I don’t know if I needed anything this or not- it just made me realize majority of my friendships are toxic? Idk know if they are but they sure feel like it and definitely fit the description..
It may be difficult to drop all your friends at once. Start with removing yourself from their lives, one at a time. If you pick up a new hobby/habit, like the gym, running, swimming, bird watching, helping at a food bank, etc.., it may give you a good excuse to regularly spend time alone, or without them. Pick an activity they will not want to do with you.
@@mx.morbid2120 you're not alone. it's hard to find sincere friends who actually want to be your friend. naturally you just both vibe. but guess good friends are hard to find.
"the friend who never reaches out to you" me as an introvert: well oops..... Edit: Damn I came back with so many replies oof I didn't except that many people noticing this+
Yeah, that's me as well. I will say that I do put extra effort into the few friendships that really mean something to me. I am definitely an introvert, but crave deep connections. I am a living oxymoron!
Yes, sometimes I want to reach out, but sometimes not. I hope our house is closer when we become closer friends or best friends so that we can also be neighbors and the reach-out thing is not so mistaken or misunderstood. I still care though, even sometime I don't reach out.
I was actually the friend who turned the conversation around every single time. I wasn't aware of it and whenever I noticed I would apologise to them. They were the only friend who wanted to listen to my stories, all others just came to me for their own problems and blamed me if I couldn't solve them. My friend said he was fine with it but I wish I could listen to him more when he was here :(
@@celdrix8382 You can still have a hard time listening to people without adhd?? I struggle with hearing and listening to people but I don’t have ADHD. 🤕
I believe the friend that talks down about you while increasing their own self esteem is toxic. However, sometimes friends have to talk down to you so you don't get hurt by high expectations. Keeping you grounded. That's a friend I admire.

i have one true best friend and lots of “friends” who probably don’t like me much and i will always choose her over any amount of them
I've no friends and feel okay 🙂 👌
yes
The real problem is finding those small group of people.
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

DOM TORETTO??
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.
The thing is being toxic friend is not a problem for themselves. They may be totally happy and oblivious how they make feel their friends. The problem is having them, cause they make your life's quality worse.
Idk.. im not really a very open person. Even though i stand out in classes as an extroverted person ( which is im not cuz im ambivert) i cannot really make a very fond friend with them. It takes time. And i actually have a close friend which im still in contact with. It's been 9 years of our friendship. But idk... Now he often talk to me how he felt tilted with another person whom not even knew him.. like toxic to certain influencer or something.. I'm living in a very toxic family and i think that i had enough with toxicity.. then he always talk to me about things he don't like constantly. It made me felt burdened to hear him out. And the toxicity repeat day after day.. I don't want to really admit that i need to cut things out with him. Even though im the only one (i think) whose feeling guilty of random things and whose feeling considerate towards him. Because i really want us to stay that way. But when he told me that i should cut out with him after i want to talk to him about the issue. Im feeling disappointed.. idk.. Im tired of trying to understand a person who don't even have the effort to understand me.. but i don't wanna end our friendship like that.
If the one who read this tends to be this friend of mine.. which im highly believe that he will not.. idk.. try to talk again with me if we ever stopped talking to each other then. I would gladly talk to you again.

@@Samilin-Corrath-Gahar 🎯
Yep.. pretty much
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

Does anyone else feel quite sad when you can’t really find some loyal, trustworthy, or simply just someone you can count on when you’re in your lowest times type of in real life friends? So instead what you decided to do is to try finding some online and not that they’re “bad” or anything, in fact, there are lots of great people online. However the thing is you just don’t get the same feelings when talking to people online, rather than irl friends?
Exactly my point.. My best friend has betrayed me several times so she will never be able to fill this gap of trust she lost because there is always this fear that she will do it again. With online friends you can exchange topics and identify. However you will always want them to be physically next to you

"The friend who never reaches out to you"
I can't cut relationship with them, because that kind of friend is me. That why I don't want any friend I don't want to hurt them.
I relate. I'm the friend in number 3 who doesn't fill in as they should. I've just gotten sick of constantly dealing with the mental issues that I just can't anymore. Now she keeps trying to uphold our friendship but I'm just too exhausted. I do try to reply to her but it's just getting harder. Her situation at home in a way is similar to mine, but we are so different. It's hard to talk normally when we don't even have the same belief, or when the only thing we can talk about is our issues.
Same. For the longest time I've been the emotional support system of my friends, trying my best to talk them out of su!c!d3, making sure they don't harm themselves, get themselves into trouble and making sure they eat well. But they rarely take the time to ask how I'm feeling, or if I'm doing okay. It just mentally drains me, so I end up turning off my notifications on everything and ghosting everyone. It makes me feel bad because there are friends that have gone above and beyond for me, and those are the type of people I want in my life for a long time. But I just can't deal with people who dump all their problems onto me without offering help when I need it.
@@minty1312 EXACTLY! Can't describe my friendships any better than that!
Same, I felt very called out by that one. But I think the important thing is if you struggle to reach out to your friends because of anxiety or other metal health issues you just need to show you appreciate them for being the one to reach out. Let them know that *they're* doing *you* a favor and not the other way around.
im pretty sure im the friend who always talks about myself. my friend tried to vent to me and i end up venting to her. i kind of hate that about me-
but shes quite toxic- she only texts me when she needs something, or when she wants to vent- never any other time. i always have to ask to hang out or else its silence in our chat- even when i go over- which was once every day of my life- she just plays on her phone. no attention towards me. she ignores me half the time too. ive learnt to try and keep my feelings to myself away from her cause she tends to use that against me. but i do always end up venting to her when she wants to talk cause i feel like thats the only change i could ever get to vent to someone i couldve trusted- until i found out she was extremely toxic.
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.

(A bit of a story but more of a vent-)
There were a few months when my two best friends always asked me for help and rarely messaged me when they didn’t need it. Dean would still ask me how I was doing and reply to most of my messages but he always said goodbye when his girlfriend (my other best friend) was online but it was still understandable. They were a couple and they liked each other a lot, so of course he’d choose to talk to his girlfriend.
I always knew his girlfriends were very important to him, I knew he’d choose them over a friend so I wasn’t surprised. My other best friend pretty much never reached out to me unless I messaged her first, she would often ignore my messages and leave them on read until she was finished playing a game or playing with her friends. She was having a tough time at home so I did try to be understanding but it went on for months.
One day, I just had it. I joined her and tried to talk to her again like we used to, Dean and her friend Luna was there too so I private messaged her. I tried to spark a conversation with her but after a few minutes, it was a little too obvious that she didn’t want to talk so I left. I waited for a little while afterwards but she didn’t message me at all and that’s when I got mad.
I was never a patient person but this time, I think I can say at least I tried. I unfriended her on a whim (not really a whim) and unfriended Dean too, I was quite sure he’d add us in a group chat and ask me why I unfriended her. I hated confrontation and thought about talking to them again after things cool down a bit but a few days later, I checked and neither of them tried to reach out.
I think that’s when it hit me but ‘Maybe I was the only one thinking we were best friends after all…’
It was honestly hard and I came to regret my decision. I would rather they ignore me than to lose them completely but I didn’t reach out either, a part of me was mad that our years and months together meant so little to them.
Luckily I still had my brother and sister so I gamed with my brother on a daily basis. I knew it wasn’t healthy and it wasn’t a good habit to have but I spent a lot of time with him. When he was busy, I’d get him gifts in a game and when he wasn’t busy, we’d play and talk all day, that went on for months. I honestly didn’t miss my best friends much, my brother never asked about them either.
Lately I reached out to them, it’s been a year and I think I owe Dean an apology. I hate to say it but I also owe my other ‘best friend’ an apology for leaving, I don’t think I’ll talk to her much though. Dean and her broke up so there isn’t much reason for me to talk to her unless she’s having a really hard time. Well it’s not really my problem now since we aren’t even friends, is it?
Still I don’t hate or dislike Dean, I hope I can talk to him a few times every week. He used to help me and I used to help him, I really enjoy being with Dean. I met Dean much earlier than I met her so we were also much closer in my opinion. I’m planning on sending her a few messages at first and one conversation every month or two, I’m quite happy with my life, honest. My brother and I aren’t too close right now because of a mistake I made but I hope to make it up to him and thank him.
He’s always been there for me and he’s always helping me out, I owe him a lot. I also hurt him for a year because of my stupid mistake but I’m hoping to fix it, he isn’t someone I’ll let go of unless he doesn’t want me anymore.

Just want to say before you stop being friends with anyone: in my opinion you should 100% talk to them first before making a move. This gives you both the opportunity to work things out and understand why they do the things they do I believe.
Edit: I would like to also mention how sometimes it is not a good idea to give someone a chance based on the circumstances. Such as them not willing to listen or comply with the chance you give them. But it's still not a horrible idea to give everyone a second chance as long as they don't take it for granted.
Absolutely! I speak from hard experience, because I give people plenty of slack from the beginning. If they make a mistake or two I might help them untangle things, or give more slack so they can figure it out for themselves. This can go on for years, or it can be over fairly quickly, though I totally understand the phrase, "give enough slack to hang themselves with" because the truly unworthy person will. At some point it's just unworkable anymore, and they usually know it at least as well as I do by then.
I got gaslighted and blocked lmao after multiple tries at that “stop questioning my loyalty” she said after I addressed her literally talking crap about me with literal proof smh I shoulda just ended the friendship. We’re adults btw.
@@pterodactylbull yh dont be friends with them anymore
Most people like this are typically full of themselves and don’t take criticism very well. Sounds like a waste of time to me
Why go through even more drama. Its better to just up and go an never explain what happened. Because youll only help them hide how toxic they are because they will learn what drove you away. Its better to let them figure it out if they ever do. Just focus on you. They don't care about your feelings.
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'd like to say that usually cutting your friends off immediately is a bad idea. Sometimes, you should confront them about it first. They might not realize that they're doing it, and you might actually help them out by pushing them to be a better friend.
If they refuse to grow, THEN you can cut them off, and only after they start trying to improve themselves should you give them a second chance.
I've always expressed but there are 4 and 5 and 3 and the one who needs something and they've apologized and came back and I've completely just distanced myself because it hurts me and i have another who act likes she benefiting me and idk man i rather just stay to myself, she just always talking bout her problems and i give her advice and she doesn't take it at all just wants me to feel bad and like its to draining to deal with anymore i wish her the best

Hola mi Amigo
love how this channel references so many show and characters, it’s so fun
True, it’s great
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
I've had tons.of friendships that ended badly. Too many. Mostly because I never left when I saw red-flags. I was loyal, attentive, selfless, and above all else made an effort. But unfortunately plenty of people do not understand these qualities within someone and will take your kindness for weakness. Nearly everytime. And worst of all, give you excuses when they don't adhere to their own word. Personally, if I were to offer any advice to anyone it's this -- Don't expect perfection but expect to be treated the way you treat them, and if they don't, won't, or can't, they aren't a true friend. Period. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Life is too short to put your all into the kinda, sorta, maybe people who don't see your worth and treat you the way you deserve. So you have to find the ones that do. And they're out there, unfortunately you just have to get through the shit before you find the gold. But when you do, it'll be the true friends who treat you the way you deserve and will never take you for granted. Then it'll all be worth it. Trust me.
It's so true...it's painful now that I know and remember about it...
Amen.
Well, my “best-friend” and I were keeping a nice relationship but just a few weeks ago she stopped talking, only sometimes. she always cancel plans and now we only text if it’s for schoolwork. It’s mostly like 95% school and 5% actually talking to eachother. But now she’s trying to cut me off for even for school, like for example I asked her a question and wondered if she could help me , normally she’s always here to help but she said she isn’t want to help me without any reason. We keep getting distant, and idk what to do.

Wat is tat
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
I’m sorry
i just realized that i am the fourthy type of toxic friend, but i just dont really care because i am so pride so it can be hard for me to have some good relationships
The worst part about this would be someone who constantly talks about themselves, ask only for your help and doesn't invite you for any good moment whatsoever BUT COMES HERE and say that you're someone who's talking down when you highlight what they do. That is Gaslighting at its finest ladies and gentlemen.
Uff I’m the third one, never reaching out- I just assume I’m not fun to be around so I just separate myself from them; I don’t mean to hurt them in any way at all, just been in a weird mood lately which causes me to cut off contact with so many people. Thank you for the video though, I hope to improve myself to become a better friend

It’s okay :) you aren’t doing it on purpose. This behaviour isn’t your fault okay? Stay strong :DD
I am experiencing the complete opposite... There's this friend that I really care about because we've been through things for like 2 years now but it has never been this bad. Trying to reach out only to get one reply and afterwards I get ghosted, it's not like I don't want to talk with them but if they can't even reply me when I am trying to initiate a conversation just makes me feel unwanted and wondering why I even bother in the first place :/ Not sure how to fix that though.

I just got out of a toxic bestie situation.we used to be extremely close but would often get into fights when I felt like I was being ignored and forgotten. I used to be naive. For 4 years I was made to believe I am immature and incapable of selfless love. I failed to recognise the countless other people who were there for me. She abandoned me the moment she got a bf. I broke. I'm in my healing period now but realised. She was everything this video spoke about. Made me realise how foolish I was to stay when everyone I knew told me they were tired of seeing me depressed and used. Pretty much venting in public right now. But learning to let go. That's a very important lesson I hope people learn without it destroying them.
I’ve been a terrible friend. I’ve mistreated my friends just this year and I kept on messing up because I never realized how toxic I was until now. Now I’ve started to improve but I think almost all of them are giving up on me- they think I’ll never change. They all doubt me
At least you've acknowledged your toxicity and now doing what you can to improve yourself, maybe, the new friends that you'll make will see the better you
I also have been a very bad friend, I bragged about myself too much, and never reached out to my friends. 😞😣
If you realized your mistake and are sorry for that, they your are good human.
It's okay to make mistakes but the important thing is to realize it and make yourself better tomorrow.
Keep on improving 👍
Dude, what you just said right now is amazing, continue on your efforts with that will to change and you won't have to worry about that too much in the future, it's really cool to see someone saying how they were wrong and wanna change for the better ^^
Same as me I have realised thing after I saw this video so I will try to be better . Well............ I am an introvert so I have no Idea how to strike a conversation. It becomes VERY AWKWARD 😅🥺😭
you know what... *I don't need friends, they disappoint me*
but whoever realized your one of the top above. It's okay being self aware is the number 1 step to change your ways and actions we're all human.

You're lucky they just disappoint you, I've had 2 in the last 18 months who downright disloyal and hurtful.
Another really toxic type is the gossiper:
Someone who calls me his "girl best friend" (which he don't is to me but that's a diffrent story) wanted to force me to unfriend a girl just because she rejected his best friend. I ended up lying that I would do it but I'm still friends with her till today
*do it, commit not friend anymore.*
*he's trying to isolate you.*
@@garbage_goat8386 I mean we talked this out about half a year later. Still made me uncomfortable back then
Wow, that sounds tough.
@@kelechi9854 As I said we talked this out about half a year afterwards. I explained him how I felt back then and he at least seemed to understand my position (even though I have my doubts on how empathic he actually is but that's a diffrent story). While he didn't put me in such a situation again deep down inside I can't guarantee myself that it won't happen again.
As already said I'm still friends with that girl. It's kinda one of these open secrets
As someone who is autistic and has ADHD i personally struggle with a few of these. I accidentally end up sending full on books about my day because every little thing is interesting to me. I feel so bad about it and my friends definitely hate it and so I try to stop as much as possible. I also end up turning things around accidentally making them about me. I hate to admit it but I've definitely been guilty of it. It definitely hurts to know that i could be considered toxic but it's also a good thing for me to try and change!
That’s not your fault! You should sit down with your friends at a time they aren’t venting to you, and explain and apologise. If they are good friends, they will understand. 🙃

Wow How mature of you to take responsibility , you will go far in life and grow maturely 👍🏼👍🏼
Some nuances to consider!
On never reaching out: Sometimes people isolate due to mental illness or addiction. Always keep this in mind, some folks aren't trying to put the responsibility on you, they're just struggling.
On making things about themselves: neurodivergent people often relate to others by bringing up personal experience to show they understand! It's not always an attempt at monopolizing a conversation.
Just a reminder to give people space to be human, not everything fits in neat, clear-cut boxes!
What is neurodivergent? Sorry.
@@AwesomeRace7 The definition on google says, "Differing in mental or neurological function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders); not neurotypical."
Other psychological disorders are considered neurodivergent as well outside of ASD, but that's what's usually being referred to :)
Damn so I guess I'm retarded then
thats so true! I'm neurodivergent and I do that all the time! I never realized that it was an autism thing.
I can personally relate to this. As much as I hate it, it's not like I don't have time for the people I rarely contact. It's more of a feeling that they don't want to talk to me, and not wanting to bother them in their world.
I've never had friends like this. Choose the people you keep in your life wisely. You deserve only the best💕
Your lucky
@@mylzo2802 yea and I clicked into this video because I need advice on whether my friendships were ok
I've had a friend who was Toxic anytime I stood up for myself or said I didn't like something, she'd just turn around and say I did the same thing, I always felt like I had to walk on eggshells around her, for instance, If I said something even playfully that she didn't like she would just get up and leave, I was always there for her, and I'm not saying I'm completely blameless but it always felt unfair and unbalanced, she told me sorry a handful of times and made fun of me.
@@BrooklynJewel if you don't feel completely loved, even through hard times, it may be time to let go of this friend and make sure you're being the type of friend you wanna be. Then look for the awesome, caring, giving friends you deserve!

Used to have “friends” that were so mean to me that I didn’t understand how a real friendship was supposed to feel like. Looking back, they weren’t even my friends, they were literal bullies. Talking down on me, never including me, constantly ignoring me, making fun of me, laughing at me, constantly pointing out my flaws and more. Hell, one of them even told me that she would become very happy if I died as a “joke”. They both left me scarred for life. I’ll never forgive them for that.
I was in that exact situation for quite awhile. You get so used to their abusive behavior towards you that you think it’s normal. When someone actually treats you with respect and dignity, it kind of throws you off at first and you don’t know what to make of it.
@@captaineasychord1 yeah, I genuinely felt confused when I got new friends and they were nice to me. I still haven’t gotten used to it sadly.

@@captaineasychord1 that exact thing just happened to me in highschool a month or two ago.

Now I sit at the table with some of the people I met that day. Though I have yet to see the first kid again.

I recently found this video, and I want to say thank you for making it. I never really understood what made good friends and what didn't for the longest time, a lot of my 'friends' were a mixture of the first four, especially the gaslighting and the never reaching out. I always put so much energy into them, and the energy back was never equal or never there at all. I've been working on the good friendships I have, and retaining them, and so far my life has been getting better from it but...
My issue is with people who don't reach out in return. Its hard to tell which ones really care, or truly don't care at times. I'm quite social and I know some people are a bit more introverted but some people also just don't care. That's the part where I don't know how to tell if someone is just a friend that has troubles sometimes or a friend that doesn't care.
i remember having a friend that would probably have his own category here: the obsessive/pampering friend.
basically, the person is pretty chill at first, and you quickly get along with each other. in fact, it's really fast how it happens, and soon enough they're already in your circle of friends. but soon it feels like the friendship's going _too_ fast and it feels off. like, it's been only a few weeks and they already want to visit your house and they always pester you about it. they also slowly start pushing you away from other friends to make more time for them. they may even start acting hostile towards you other friends and then only act kind and sweet towards you. and then before you realise it, they're already trying to insert themselves into _every single_ social situation you're in, and even start following you around (at least, with what i've experienced), and it's to the point where even thinking about their presence makes you feel uncomfortable. in some cases, they may even try to start a relationship too soon. they constantly pamper and kind of obsess over you, hence the name.
i had a friend like this as a kid, who i'm gonna call V, and long story short, everything i've described above applies to his behaviour. he started the friendship way too fast and tried to cut me off from everyone, starting small with an argument between one of the my other friends to try to separate him from us. there was even an incident where i was talking with another friend privately about this situation, and i looked behind my shoulder and V was there, following us from a distance and trying to get close. we told him it was a private conversation from the get-go, but he just kept persisting. i'm glad i managed to get away from him in time before it got _really_ bad.
I remember being like that back on 2021. I'm happy that it ended.
this used to be me in primary i didnt realise it until my friend told me about it
she told me that she has her own social circle and friends, and her social circle shouldnt revolve around me only
im very grateful and glad that she told me about thsi and i get to realise how bad my actions were
and i feel sorry for my primary friend
i no longer do this anymore :D
I was a little like this but I wasn't hostile to other people. I was glad to be able to talk to anyone else as well. I even tried to help bring a friend back into our little circle when they got into an argument because I wanted them to still be friends. I just always wanted to be with that one person because I felt safe since I was bullied a lot. I also had it stuck in my mind that being a best friend is having 1 person you always want to do everything with so that didn't help either 🤦♀️. There were a lot of red flags that should have told me to start finding other friends but I was super weird so it didn't take much for people to go from hi to oh eew go die in the corner no one wants you here.
Luckily I was able to find more friends in highschool, I stopped talking to that 1 friend and I was actually able to enjoy being in school
Oh yes I’ve been living this !
I also had a friend like that I honestly didn't really realize that I wasn't hanging out with my other friends into it was too late, and I had no one to talk to. I'm glad you got out of that situation it's hard to get out of it.
How many friends do you want? Comment below.
❤️
None im fine by myself

i want at least 10 friends ! :)
Like 3 or a nice small friend group
My advice to anyone here is never let anyone walk over your boundaries, if someone doesn't want to be there for you in the good and bad times, try not to let them have full access to you. What I learned is you are the main character in your life and for most people, you are no more than background or side character, sometimes the antagonist. Put yourself first and trust your gut, if you feel a friendship is too transactional, walk away if that's the best move for you.
All relationships are transactional, cease the transaction and see how long the friendship lasts
True. Agreed
Yesss say it 1 more time for those in the back!!!
I did not even realise my friends were ghosting me and was a horrible friend to me
I was literally innocent and happy before I even met them
1.) Always needs something (never give back)
2.) Gaslights you (constantly blames you)
3.) Never reaches out to you (you keep maintaining the relationship)
4.) Always talks about themselves (always end up being about themselves)
5.) Ways talks down to you (goes out of their way to make you feel lesser)
thanks
Yup I have that friend.
Definitely not dealing with this anymore.
Your friends are not your significant other lol
Ye all these things are happening to me rn and im fukin broked up ... i dont have any friends man ... thing to remember-only friend of yours is your family , tell them the things instead of sharing it to the anonymous
6. A friend who constantly tries to monopolise or ruin your relationships
“Does your friend always seem to ask personal questions about your relationship to your partner but not you, do they do everything they can to convince your partner they should get with someone else simply because they can’t stand to see you happy, chances are they doing this because they aren’t happy with themselves and are looking for a way to air off their own insecurities that they deny to themselves, so if you have a friend that consistently goes behind your back whenever your out with your partner and tries to get them with anyone but you then it’s time to draw the line and cut those toxic friends out of your life for good”.
By "partner" do you mean a friend of yours that they can't stand?
@@flameyt4149 no by partner I mean someone who I’m in a relationship with but people who I thought were friends will ask personal questions and try to get them with someone else when I’ve done nothing to them so fed up with it and don’t really hang with them anymore it’s the reason why I don’t have friends coz I only trust my partner no else
@@excelsiore457 oh ok I understand, i think u made the right choice
@@flameyt4149 thankyou it’s nice knowing someone understands
I definitely used to be this kind of person a few years back. But I grew as a person and no longer do that kind of stuff. It’s always good to see where you have improved as a person or confess you were that person but are no longer that type
I would add a 6th category : the pushovers. People with no respect of our boundaries, always asking (or rather ordering) that we do this and that.
"Answer my texts right away next time!"
"We'll go see a movie this saturday don't be late! What do you mean you can't? I said we're going!"
It's easy to stay with these people when we fear we would be alone and don't appreciate that. That makes us blind to these misbehaviors and we end up feeling worse everytime.
Run, run, run away from people like that!!!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
A true friend will not bully you into plans that they made without consulting you and will not demand that you be at their beck and call.
It's better to be alone than to be with a bully.
I used to have a toxic friend. Now I have good friends, when I met them, on that day I fell and they helped me.
I've had one-sided friendships for years. I pulled all the weight, always was the one to reach out and ask to hang out... They haven't asked about me for ages, even now that I've stopped asking after them. I got exhausted trying to pull us together. I liked hanging with them, but it hurts, so so much, that I wasn't interesting enough for them to bother anylonger. I feel like a complete outsider. My only friends left are one who lives on the other side of the planet after moving, I can only chat with her online but maybe she'll visit this year, and then there's my best friend, the very first I made in this area. I'll just have to trust that they won't leave me like everybody else has.
Sometimes it has nothing to do with you and just the capacity they’re willing or can give at the moment.
Have you ever thought that they might be going through tough things at the moment and aren't mentally capable to reciprocate?
Maybe your energy is off and too upbeat while they're experiencing truly trying times, and they're protecting you from their negative energy. Or they feel you wouldn't understand.
You're on a psych channel, surely you understand that trauma can cause people to withdraw and lose trust in others?
Of course, that's all a big if. Depends on if they're only singling you out for this, or it's been a general behaviour change.
This describes me extremely well. Most of my former friendships were one-sided. Now I only have one real friend, but she is one of the best friends I could have asked for.
Same, I always carried about friends and chatting with them, whilst quarantine was going, mostly when I texted someone I don't get responds. This was like sitting just with yourself typing to friend like 'Hey bro, wanna play some games?' and getting ignored, every day. After some time (like years) I just get used to it and start enjoying my loneliness.
@@Un1234l Oh, trust me, I'm not too upbeat. With them I'm more quiet and shy, we could laugh every now and then, sometimes a lot. I gotta say, they're a bit younger than me, they're still technically kids I think, one is probably a teen now, so they might not understand what they're doing, but I've heard and I think seen that they have other friends that they hang out with more, so it's just me they lost interest in. And it can't be just because I'm getting older (I'm 16 now), back when I was 12 and 13 they were being forgetful even then. We could still come up with things to do that are suitable for all of us, I'm not a teenager that looks down on "childish" games, but I'm not good enough. I'll get over it eventually, though.
I feel kinda bad because I’ve been the friend who never reaches out, but it’s the anxiety and depression that make me isolate myself from everyone. The past 7 years have been tough.
But noticing this is the first step to improving!
That’s me with all military friends after I got out but mistreatment while serving made me became cautious to all
@@Psych2go exactly!
Don't feel bad about not reaching out. That doesn't make you toxic. Toxic is when you take something from someone for your own benefit while hurting/ harming the giver in the proces. Have you ever harmed anyone by not reaching out? If you meet up with a friend, who has done all the 'reaching out', and you treat him like crap then yes you are a toxic person. If you don't reach out to people who are dependent on you and you are responsible for them, like your kids, yes you are toxic. If you don't reach out to someone because you are not in a place to socialize and want to protect yourself and work on yourself, how are you a toxic friend? That's bullshit. Toxic people do ghost people too, but they do it with the intention that they can't benefit from you anymore. And like the video mentioned, when they do meet up they act like they are doing you a favor. Because in their head, they don't like you and they actually do think it's a favor to meet up with you. Don't blindly believe everything that is being said. stay critical. don't even believe me. thanks for reading my long a** paragraph

For 3 I feel like I'm not connecting with my friend at all
A lot of these points apply to me actually. Funny thing is I am usually aware of that and more often than not communicated openly when I don't see a relationship as proper friendship because of that (formerly trying to avoid "making friends" as much as possible for the longest time after noticing my feelings in highschool), but it often gets dismissed because people keep insisting on their own definitions of what friendship is, and oddly enough it NEVER has to do with genuine mutual care and chemistry. Now I am left with a truckload's worth of shame, guilt, hatred and a broken, repressed identity because I was doing very badly in general with self-doubts and lack of control and I don't see myself ever recovering.
I never genuinely cared for another person in my entire life, which is something that kept nagging me because I know it's sus as hell (just like the total lack of any passion, curiosity, talent, grit or anything else that's considered good). But I really don't know what I'm supposed to do about it. Trying to force it anyway just drove me mad. It almost works in fantasies (that I'm not able to have anymore), but that's about it.
The worst thing is that i can't say no when they need something and when i try to tell them kindly that i can't be online 24/7 and have other things to do instead of chatting all day they start gossiping and now many people hate me because of the rumors that i'm an unfriendly person who ignores texts from friends. After seeing this video and also because of this experience i don't want friends anymore. It's better to be alone.
I know your pain, They doing this make them feel better about themself using you like a string around your wrist. Grossip won't last forever till they get it or not! Types of people can do to harass you if keep going you got to use screenshots or voice recorder on phone in real life post it on social media that your a hero that is a must!
Also if you proof them I guess people going be side with them then you if don't work
Those people who did this to were not your friends, but it doesn't mean you should give up on being with people.
You are the main character of your life, but you need side characters as well. And the villian is also a need.
Those people should know that maybe you weren't there for them 24/7, but the effort you put into being with them is incomparable.
Also about the gossiping, people who gossip about you being unfriendly, must not, and will not make you unfriendly.
did u tell them they are retarded tho?
You’ll need to learn how to stand up for yourself and be firm while standing your ground, centered in your truth. Otherwise, you’ll notice that you fell for the bait, didn’t live out your goals and dreams, didn’t explore other opportunities and people, and you’ll die being miserable. Stop holding yourself back from growing and trying to control things such as rumours when that’s out of your control. Control yourself instead and stop trying to please others that don’t give a flying duck about you. All the best friend and I pray that the universe is with you every step of the way in life, make the right decision and grow!! Move on, everyone that talked shit about me and beloved the rumours cane back apologizing...I ignored them and set the tone once again. 27 and I’m living an amazing life😎
And also I was in the MMO gaming community group. They also can gossip, be toxic, harass me I have been kicked in the axx several times. But I keep losing interest in the things I love were started my depression. I was playing a lot of games same thing over and yeah things get worse to me. But please don't go threw like these people!
i feel like sometimes i take my closest friend for granted, when i get busy i tend to forget about contacting them or just constantly putting it off to later, till i realised that my friend got really distanced from me and got hurt from my attitude of neglect, i'm trying to stop taking them for granted and to show them my appreciation for being my friend through all what we've been through.

i was always the friend who never reached out unless i needed a favour, although i would have done anything for them at the time. i didnt stop reaching out on random, nobody ever reached out to me so i decided it wasnt worth it. ended in getting ditched and ditching everyone else, too. pretty sure they forgot about me though and honestly feel better without any of them. its not always bad having no friends - sometimes its better off.

I used to put much effort into making friends, but always ended up being the side that put effort into the relationship, so I just kinda gave up on making friends, cause it always makes me feel like I'm an unlikable and uninteresting person.
I always try to find someone with similar interests with me, it’s a pretty strong foundation and makes us both want to talk to each other.
Same :(

I feel you but in another way, I stopped putting any sort of effort into making friends a time ago, by that time, I used to hear other students (not only from my class specifically) that they for some reason feared me, just by the fact that I just stay on my own personal space and not that much social, and honestly, that was a tiny bit uncomfortable to hear and have the eyes of judgment all over me, to this day I still do, but It doesn't effect as much as it used to.
Skill issue bruh: this is a joke plz dont persecute me in the comments
I have a lot of one-sided relationships. I seem to be the only one putting in the effort to check in on them and see how they're doing. God, this hurts. Once I care about someone it's hard for me to NOT care.
I’m in the same boat with that one.
I feel you! I think it’s okay for some friendships like if I had a deep connection with them and when we hang out we enjoy each other’s company it doesn’t bother me as much. Compared to a friend that didn’t have any deep conversations with it makes me feel used and like they don’t care. And this one friend keeps making excuses for not reaching out more and when they do it’s only about them.
same but cutted them all because they didnt do the same for me...
I freaking swear I relate to this too much. Literally, two tears ago before the pandemic hit, I had some pretty good friends, and a really close one. I would talk to them a lot, as I had like three classes together with them, which were in order, so we had a long period of time to talk. We did argue a lot, as she was quite sensitive and I'll admit, I wasn't the nicest person back then. After the pandemic took a toll on the education system, a lot of my friends simply stopped talking to me and practically all the time I need to be the one talking to them before they say anything. I really don't think it was the pandemic that caused my one-sided friendships, it's probably just that after a school year has passed, I'm usually the one carrying the relationship. It has happened years before the pandemic many times. Random note: I've been in a friend group of four people twice in my life (it's insanely hard to get one now but easier when you're younger), and both times I'm usually the weirdo and the nerd at the same time. The first time I caught one of the people in the friend group writing a letter explaining why I should be excluded from the group for about a week, and I was kinda sad. The second group, contained two twins, a BTS Stan (how the absolute frick did she manage to get friends, she did nothing but talk about it and play Korean rythmn games), and there was me. Usually I was the one to make people laugh because I was outgoing, but now I think I was just weird and I also think that everyone is boring lol. I pretty much just got slowly but surely removed from the group, and to this day, I can catch the friend group grinding on games without me. It doesn't even hurt, I just feel determined to get new friends, as everytime I think about it, I just feel compelled to put my past behind me and to basically start a new life.
How did you read all of this? I literally ranted to complete strangers on the internet because that's how sad life is bruh
I'm in the same boat as you with multiple people, most of my friendships are like that. I'm always the one reaching out- it's not as if they act like they're doing me a favor by replying to messages, but it certainly can be exhausting at times. Since I know if I'm not reaching out to them when I can, the friendship will most likely just poof, like it never happened at all. That fact deeply saddens me- and I want to believe my friends do have their reasons for never being the ones to talk to me first, but it's hard sometimes.
I had a friend that I considered my bestie. And at that time, supposedly so did she consider me. I met her at a workplace. We hit it off famously. People would ask us if we were sisters. She invited my husband and I out to her home to visit & meet her husband. I really did think I was special when her husband mentioned that she is hard to get to know and didn't think she had ever invited someone home this quickly.. Anyway, I would help her undergo some projects at her house. Painting, gardening & landscaping, restoring a wagon.. yea, not lightweight stuff and after awhile, I began to reflect onto my place and how much it too could benefit from the same & together there was nothing we couldnt do.
So one day I mentioned this and 'oh of course we will - we will fix you up to'
Years passed and nothing changed. Then when finally satisfied (I guess) We tried to plan for me but then she was working too many hours, had too much laundry this time, etc. . Then her check in phone calls became less and less.. I desperately needed a place to stay after trouble in paradise but there wasn't enough room for me. So I stayed with husband because although not "together", we remained good friends. He was my best friend. I'd try keeping in touch with text & at first she would respond but that became less and less as well. Then responding ceased altogether.... Then January of this year, my husband surprised everyone by having a fatal heart attack. I knew that the news would effect her some and wasn't announced in much media, etc.., SO, I did text her. I simply sent his picture with his birthrate & date of his passing.. She did respond and acted as though we never lost touch.. "oh my God honey, what happrned?" I replied with: " why have you been ignoring me and my texts?" NO response.. then I sent "oh ok, so you have nothing to say?" She said "because I don't know what to say, I didn't think I was".. I responded "OK sure, if you say so."
All she'd have to do is read for herself the last 10 or so texts in our history so see that I am correct. We've been silent ever since. If that is her true colors, I prefer that.
#3 is also just every introvert ever. I'll go months without feeling a need to talk to someone sometimes, and then I'll feel awkward because it's been months since I talked to them.

two months ago, i wrote how i felt like my friends ignored me and i overall just had a one-sided relationship. to those who have felt similar, i’ve found some helpful information that may lift your spirits :)
❤️ there are people who will be your friend but eventually they may turn toxic. yes, this is an unhealthy relationship. if you are afraid to cut ties with a toxic friend because it may hurt them, chances are, it’s hurting you more. do not be afraid to cut ties; you are not responsible for anyones happiness.
❤️ attempt to engage your buddies with conversations and activities. you’ll know who your real friends are if they truly care about you. if they are fake, i promise it’s better off to take time alone with yourself.
❤️ don’t jump to conclusions. as harsh as it sounds, you might not consider what’s happening in another persons head. they may not even know you feel left out. should this be the case, let them know how you feel.
❤️ remember to love yourself. despite what others may tell you (or what you tell yourself) you are human. someone will always care.
hope this helped :)
I understand. You need to go to more societies
Well, your not the only one.
I had a friend i knew for over 10 years when we outgrow each other. He became pretty toxic and selfish and once i had enough of this behavior and asked why am i deserving this, it was lots of talk talk talk to make it ok.. again. This continued for a couple more years till i really had enough of these lies.
I rather to be alone now instead of being with him again.
ADHD with serious friendship dysfunction here. The best thing about friendships, is unlike relationships, you aren't a cheater for looking for better choices while still keeping the crappy ones you have. Go for it!
If the person you bound yourself to is doing everything to pull you both down, cut that bind. Nothing kills you more than keeping an ungrateful brat afloat.
U know what I have a friend my best friend actually we have been friends since preschool and when I saw number 4 it made me realize that they (she is gender fluid) do that to me all the time like when I would try talking about how I found out that my dad tried kidnapping me more than once (I live in weitchpec Hoopa California so it's not like out in the cities) when I was little and that I might just have some undiscovered trauma from the experience she cut me off and started talking about who bad her relationship with her dad was (still talks about it to this day she just uses him for money as he has nothing else to give her) and it made me upset but I am what my friends call "the pink unicorn" of the group so I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I just listened, she also hits me ever time I see her (like she slaps me in the face or kicks me she can't scratch me right know she doesn't have fingernails) but that's just how she is my other friends tell me she isn't nice but it's always been like this she hits me, bites our child (we like to say we adopted my fav cousin) and I help her through everything but don't get it wrong she does contribute to our relationship she tells me not to do drugs or smoke or any of that stuff. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that she is supposed to be moving soon and she seems to be getting more distant from me ever since we came back from home studies so I can understand were your coming from and I hope u can try to either fix your friendship or find someone who actually cares 😁
I recently joined this friend group that i didnt wanna join in the first place but im too embarrassed to say no. I only joined their group for one person i wanted to talk to since i saw her. They make fun of me all the time making fun of anything that i do and it brings me down. I wanna get to know the girl i wanted to friend, but she is always with them, and they literally control her because she thinks they are very nice because they friend her. They were making me so uncomfortable and always told me they wanted to cheat off of me in front of me. I started talking to them less every day, and now im always sitting alone doing nothing and no one even bothers to help me. They always try to make me do their homeworks basically using me. The class basically hates me. Couldnt care less but i have been lonely for 2 years with no friends and its driving me crazy.
you are loved and valuable, always! ❤🤗
I've been the first friend. I'm terrible with starting conversations, so I mostly only messaged my friends over quarantine about homework and such. Also doubted anyone actually wanted to talk to me anyway, so I figured trying to start a conversation would just bore them. I guess a lot of the isolation I felt was my fault in the end
i have nothing to say, or add, or smile about, when i was in school. one reason why i was bullied.
That is literally me. I always feel like no one is interested in whatever I say. So in order to talk someone I usually talk about things like homework or such in order to avoid unnecessary talk. I know it is not like that but in my classmates' presence I often feel like that. It bothers me a lot and I struggle making friends due to this.......Any suggestions on how to get out of this problem?
I think it is due to the fact that I am isolated from society for a long time so now I have troubles trying to fit in.
@@KYC17_YT Hey there I’ve encountered the same before. I’ve had low self-esteem since I was younger so I always expected that nobody would really want to engage in a convo with me. The best way to go abt it is to never make the assumption that they won’t listen to u in the first place. When we already expect it to come, we often drive people away. People respond and listen in different ways so if you feel you’re not listened to, perhaps they just express their interest in a different way. If that’s not a case, I suggest you find another group of people you share interests with. You may not feel secure sharing stuff at first but def walk at ur own pace. Maybe start by sharing what happened in ur day etc. Anyhow this is from experience I hope things get good for you
Wait, this might be the reason he never starts a conversation. *Rebots life*
I used to have a “better than nothing” mindset about friends. In my last year of high school I finally started filtering out friends who didn’t meet my standard - all of them falling into one of these categories - and by the time prom came around I had no one left. I had to restart with a fresh pallet. I’m now going into my last year of uni and slowly but surely I now have a good number of quality friends :) don’t settle for less than you deserve!!!
I only have 3 friends .. one being my boyfriend . I have others but I am the only one to reach out ..
I had somewhat of a similar experience, except for the fact that I only had one friend, and there were many in my circle that really wanted to be friends with me, but I did NOT trust them at all for MANY reasons.

Good on you for trying to better yourself. That's what counts
I think I’m the kind of friend that always tell my friends to do something one of my friends start to express how they feel then I realise I wasn’t doing the right thing thanks for explaining how to be a good friend. I also found out another kind of friend I have in my life she always blackmail me and also only talks to me when others are not there I feel sad and also I saw her being mean to the young people and makes me feel uncomfortable😢

Same. I lost way too many friends cuz im a d1ckhead to them, but i deal with sh1t. No excuse but sh1t has its toll on me :( i wish people understood that but they dont, theyd rather turn away from me than understand support and be there for me so i can be there for them. Im 17 and struggling making friends and keeping them. So much wrong could be with me.
Man i love when these type of youtubers add references to the complete opposite genre and make it make sense
I actually happen to like being friends with people who always talk about their own problems..It doesn't bother me at all because I get something wonderful out of helping or being of service to people in need. I feel like it's my life purpose 🤷.
Yeah, I get that.

it’s actually a common experience with friends who are autistic. they are merely sharing a similar story to relate to you and show they care.

"friend" is someone who cares about you, helps you, and understands you, not someone who will not give back
This should be applied broadly, from family and even colleagues. Toxic is toxic, these people should be avoided.
Yes. Indeed!
I had "friends" who fit the bill on some of these and started to feel like the friend nobody likes. Luckily I was able to find a new group who would never make me feel that way.
1:27 The Itadori and Fushiguro drawings are so cute and wholesome, I love them.
THis video amuses me as it furthered my belief that cutting out almost all the people I once considered friends were truly toxic. Over the years I believed them when they'd say they would change. But each of them were at least a combination of 2 or more of these types listed. It took a family member going through one of the worst things one can in life to put into perspective just how evil and malicious these people were. I've been free of them for about a year now but I can't help to think about just how many people like that are out there. Stay safe, everyone and don't be like me. Act sooner rather than later.
The worst possible situation is having a toxic friend of yours be part of a friend group you're in where it seems like you're the only one who sees their toxicity, but you don't want to just leave the entire friend group because of them.
Im on this situation too but this time with my classmates, most of them are friends with her, and yesterday she gaslighted me because i talk about her pfp and thinking i call her a copycat due to my status but im actually referring to a copycat on instagram, I'm kind of scared to expose her toxic relationship cause no.1 my mother and her mother will just simply have a problem after this, no.2 my classmates will still side with her and will probs defend her because she's different. I mean wdym by different?? She was gaslighting me because she assumed that i called her a copycat. When im actually referring to a different thing and that i was curious, I want to tell her parents to educate a child like her but my mom saids that i should avoid her instead
Edit: plus before that she showed that she cared about me about what happened to the gc, but after that she simply gaslighted me😐

On the topic of making the conversation always about you:
Do not conflate sharing your experiences with a similar problem with talking about your woes. That is often a very supportive action to take, explaining how the issue can be beaten, and maybe offering the person currently having the issue a bit of hope, or feeling like you are someone they can come to for opinions on how to approach the issue.
Just don't fall into the trap of assuming what worked for you will work for them just because. That's part of making it about yourself, albeit in a more insidious fashion.
I agree, and also somtimes somone telling you about thier problems can cause people to vent back becaus they finally met somone who is willing to talk about that kind of stuff. It can be toxic but it can also be out of desperation, as long as they come back to you on your issues and talk to you about them it shows they care.
Also, why do you have zero confidence? Becaus i dont either.
Spurious correlations can be hard to detect. Thinking about when a situation is actually similar and can truly help in finding a solution to another can be hard to connect.
Also: Furry boi? One of us, one of us.
Thank you!
I'm most guilty of the "talking about myself" one - I try to keep it in mind when I'm talking to people these days. Sometimes, just shutting up, listening and following up on what they say by asking about them is the best course of action.
I’m in abusive friendship, and this channel has helped me figure with a lot of things out. Thank you.
Hey. Stay strong. There are still good people out there. Just gotta start looking for people who have the qualities you want. It's possible you may have found a narcissist. Look for someone who wants what is best for you. You'll be OK. Sending good luck your way. 🤗

It may be difficult to drop all your friends at once. Start with removing yourself from their lives, one at a time.
If you pick up a new hobby/habit, like the gym, running, swimming, bird watching, helping at a food bank, etc.., it may give you a good excuse to regularly spend time alone, or without them. Pick an activity they will not want to do with you.

Yes, sometimes I want to reach out, but sometimes not. I hope our house is closer when we become closer friends or best friends so that we can also be neighbors and the reach-out thing is not so mistaken or misunderstood. I still care though, even sometime I don't reach out.
I was actually the friend who turned the conversation around every single time. I wasn't aware of it and whenever I noticed I would apologise to them. They were the only friend who wanted to listen to my stories, all others just came to me for their own problems and blamed me if I couldn't solve them.

I believe the friend that talks down about you while increasing their own self esteem is toxic. However, sometimes friends have to talk down to you so you don't get hurt by high expectations. Keeping you grounded. That's a friend I admire.
