There are tall ships
There are small ships
But the best ships
Are friendships…
Unless of course, when the friend takes her life frustrations out on you, dumps her baggage all over you, and acts aggressively towards you.
Yes, this Blog post is about the dark side of friendship. Reason being– you asked for it.
To be honest, I have not had too many toxic friendships over the years. I was never one of those bitchy girls either. I was raised to talk to everyone and I always had friends in many circles. I never liked cliques. But many of you have written in about the friends you’ve dropped, dumped and severed ties with.
One mom wrote in about her best friend’s daughter taunting her own daughter and belittling her on Facebook. Ew! Another woman wrote in about her long time friend who was in a bad marriage, and out of jealousy, was gossiping and badmouthing her behind her back. Disgusting! These toxic friendships are unsupportive, draining, unrewarding and can be suffocating. Toxic friends stress you out and are generally one sided, whereby you don’t get back nearly half as much as you put in.
