How to spot toxic Friendships and know when it's time to break up

[@lauraswanson6161]

My friend started constantly giving me unsolicited advice and then started getting irritated with me for not taking her advice, it was not even appropriate for her to tell me to cut off my family members so I cut her off instead. She was also full of empty promises and her words didn't match her actions.

She's a toxic person

I had a friendship which seemed to be better than the other friendships that I had, but didn't end very well. In the beginning we were just acquaintances and she was a very pleasant person. I could open my heart to her. From the moment we said that we are friends, she started to use what I had been telling her, to insult and control me . When I told her (twice) that some things she was telling me, were hurting me, she seemed to be understanding and I felt relieved, but she did it again. She wasn't respecting my boundaries. After that I was sharing with her very few things and I was pretending that nothing goes wrong. But I didn't like our friendship anymore and I started cutting off. Once, when I didn't see the message she sent on my phone, she stopped having contact with me. I felt sad and guilty for this. One day, I made her a call, we had an awkward conversation and suddenly she asked me if she could call in the evening. I said "yes, if you want to" (awkwardly). She never called me back......The blame is always on me....

It can feel so hurtful when we realize they don’t take accountability and the blame is always on you. I’m so sorry that happened to you and it sounds like you did want you could. Sometimes we just don’t feel safe emotionally around people and that’s okay ❤

​@@helens8334block her. She doesn't want you. She's showing extra effort that she doesn't want you

Wow. It is so helpful how you break these videos down. After a year of uncertainty I had to dump a long term friend. Their response to accountability is all you need to know. When they whip out defensiveness and gaslighting it's time to leave.

Time to block them

Help with brothers who dismiss my feelings for years and play like my upset and frustration and asking for connections with them and their family members like children and grandchildren are forbidden and intimate me telling me they are better than me
