@chloe dawn... I let go of such people in my life. There were a series of events that happened months prior that I sensed it was the beginning of the end. I blocked them everywhere, but for the last year they 've kept up messaging my father 7 days a week at the oddest times. (i.e. 4 AM) To try and get me back. When I was friends with these people, they would message me at the weirdest times (i.e. 4 AM) and expect me to get back right away. They never respected my wishes... ever. And harrassed me when I tried to say what I wanted. Always. I can kinda relate because, they caused too much drama that I couldn't deal with. I cut them off in my life because it was just getting too stressful being around them. And they still aren't giving up getting me back. (And it's been over 12 months since I cut them all off) When do you think it will go away, them trying to get me back?

But toxic people they know they can manipulate you so, so they came back saying sorry and all. I didn't reply obviously they are just sorry that they lost someone who could used as per their need.

I don't understand how someone can give so much and people have no guilt in returning it back. Maybe this is just me but I always try to show appreciation for people close to me because I'm just happy that they want to be around someone like me. I give people gifts with my own money, take them with me on trips, and willingly go the distance for them so we can hang out. I do all this stuff to show love to my "friends" and somehow when I need them to do the same because I can't at the moment, they back out and say they can't. I never really noticed this until someone pointed it out to me saying "Why do you buy stuff for them? I haven't seen you get anything in return." I've always felt guilty when I made them upset and I do everything to try to make things right. These people just keep asking for more and more and I'm in shock that they don't see how much I've already given. *Never in my life would I think I'd be so jealous of the girls that get balloons and gifts from their friends during the holidays because I knew that would never happen to me*

She told me I was angry, and hot headed. But in reality, she pretended to be weak and forced me to believe I was hot headed to feel guilty for confronting or disagreeing with her. Still, the happiness she brought me is something I miss. I told her if she ever wanted to be friends I would in a heartbeat, but she has to be the one to take action this time for once. It's been 5 months and I'm still blocked.

I think what you have to realize is that no one is hurting others on purpose. Yes, they may be harsh, they may bring you down. And it is not good to let these people distract you from who you are. But: you should not think that they hurt you just because they're mean. They have their own stories. And you'll may understand them better if you see things from there perspective. You should not distance yourself from everyone that is hurting you because no one is perfect. What you should do instead is not caring about what they say. And acually understand them, but don't feel responsible for anithing in theyr lifes. And yes, if somebody is too toxic, you should propabliy leave them. But again, you should not distance you from everyone that is hurting you in any way.

I mean they could just start hating you so I think you should just move on, not avoiding but just moving on mentally by forgetting and letting everything pass through. I have a similar experience where my friend group was led by a manipulative person. My friends were following him blindly, one of my closest friends there had some problems and I defended him without asking and today when the manipulative friend came onto me and started making shit up about me so he could make fun of me, my closest "friend" did nothing. That's when I realized that nobody did anything for me or defend me for 4 years. Now I am going to study at university so I will find another group of friends and im not that scared. You should just work on yourself and forget those negative thoughts because they just slow you down.

I had my feature film debut and not only did he (my best friend) not come, he didn't even acknowledge it or say anything, not even a "I'm happy for you". I texted him a week later asking if he was happy for me and he said yes (Not knowing what I was even talking about) and I literally had to tell him about it...and he didn't say much and we never got together to talk or anything when I really wanted to celebrate with him. I cut him off then. I was there for his wedding as his best man, there for his career, and gave up an entire summer for him when he had a break up, given him money, etc. All things he would NEVER do for me. -_- I mean, I kinda knew he wouldn't do THAT much for me (cause honestly he never had...or done ANYTHING for me) but he could have at least acknowledged me and what was happening (which is apparently too much to ask for)...but no. So I had it. I had confronted this problem several times over the last decade and it always came back to becoming friends again (and it had to be back to friends immediately and trust him 100% for him otherwise I'd never hear the end of his guilting me till I finally fully took him back) and the hurtful situation would inevitably happen again. I did eventually tell him why I broke away from him by messenger, and I did it in the kindest and most civil way possible with no anger or anything. And...get this...his response showed he wasn't broken up by it or that he took it seriously as he said "Oh, I'm proud of you" and talked about "his being loyal always to me" as if he didn't even read what problems I brought up to him, and I got a wave of "likes" on everything about my stuff then and there (eyes roll, oh sure, NOW you notice and act like this so that to others it looks like you're loyal to me). He didn't even apologize or make any reference that he would change either. Whatever, I didn't friend him back or anything and thought he would get the point. ...he didn't. (He still thinks we're best friends at this time) So a couple months go by and he commented on one of my social media posts how I am a star in his book and that just made me angry. Yup, THAT did it. I privately responded to him (Again, not name calling or anything, but a lot more firm and clearly annoyed) that I didn't see how that was possible after everything I had already said to him, after not even being there this whole time I needed him and wanted him to be a part of my life too. I told him that this had nothing to do with my acting career and had everything to do with how important we are to each other, cause clearly I'm not to him, and I straight up told him that I didn't think he took what I said to him seriously and to back off and leave me alone and that all his words are empty to me. Side note: This whole time I didn't hate him or wish him bad or anything. Just recently he tried to "apologize" and I told him I wasn't ready to accept it and that I will later but I needed space. He went BALLISTIC! He said he did nothing wrong (so why did he apologize then?) AND accused me of wanting a romantic relationship with him (WHOA!), AND that being with me meant that that was "neglecting his family" like WTF! XD He said to me too that maybe people were right about me after all in saying I'm in a fantasy world (cause many people didn't believe in my acting career). Low blow, but that's rich coming from him cause at least I'm actually acting in movies that are being shown and getting bigger and bigger and have more friends in my life now who think nothing like the people he's talking about vs him who wants to be a pastor and ministry and is lazy and hasn't done ANYTHING to move forward in his direction for years cause his priorities aren't in order. He also "justified" his many times cancelling on me and said how I was a selfish immature adolescent, said things that he knew would have used to hit my "insecure nerve" (but he hasn't seen me grow the last few years to know that that doesn't work on me anymore, lol), name called and so on and so forth. I can say with ease and confidence there is NO chance of us being friends after this =) He totally showed his true colors and did everything to make himself look good. I think finding new friends and working hard for my future opened my eyes to how I wanted to be treated and he couldn't accept that. He wants the me of 10 years ago. I've outgrown him and after what he said yesterday I don't ever want to see or talk to him again. I HOPE he gets the point now. Either that or he'll think what happened before will happen again: I get guilty and then I do all the apologizing and we become friends again (will full trust on HIM, not me, cause I'm the dumb immature one) and move on the way HE wants to go. Sorry dude, NOT this time. He had 13 years to change...and he's just the same. I'm moving on and have other films coming up that I'm acting in and several other friends in my life who are supportive and loving who showed me what true friendship is like =) Life is good without this guy. Never again.

I recently let a toxic “friend” back into my life after he expressed how much he missed me. Biggest mistake ever! I was already apprehensive about letting him back in, but did so because I genuinely cared for him. In less than a week of us reconnecting, he’s back to his toxic ways and draining me of all of my energy. He found a way to blame me for all of our friendship’s problems and ghosted me! SMH! I CANNOT and will NOT allow him to make me feel worthless as a person anymore! I refuse to walk on eggshells around him!! Who TF does he think he is??!!Being ghosted was the best thing he could have ever done for me. The trash took itself out!

In almost all of my friendships, they were always toxic in some way. Whether they manipulated me, used me as their "punching bag," or just straight up acting as if I were nothing more than an idiot, it's like they're attracted to me. The sad thing is the majority of these people are ones I consider my "best friends." I have a hard time letting go, as I've never been treated right by ANYONE. My dad abused me and my brother as kids, my mom hides away in her room almost all of the time, so I've never truly felt loved by either of them. In elementary school people called me a "freak" and "psycopath" and even now it still happens, but its not as often. My first "friend" was a girl by the name of Ashlyn and I just thought she was amazing. I'd do anything she said and I took every word she said to me, whether it was a compliment or an insult, to heart. I did that up until the point she moved after fourth grade. In fifth grade I only had my cousin to rely on for the most part and another "friend" who, again, treated me like she could do anything and get away with it. Once getting to middle school, I was the new "punching bag" for new kids, and for people I considered "friends." It wasn't until recently, and I mean recently, that I realized these "friends" aren't my friends. But my problem is I have a hard time letting go. This is the only thing I've ever known. And the only reason I realized any of this was because of my boyfriend. The way he and his friends act is like actual friends, people you can rely on when you need them, they're your second family. And the way he treats me is so much different than how I've ever been treated. He's always giving me non-stop compliments, he does practically whatever I want him to do, he's protective and caring, he's so loving and kind. Without him, I would have never realized that I've been in toxic relationships my whole life.

letting go and embracing something new is incredibly hard, even when it's the right choice. I had to learn it the hard way. friends that do not support my vision of a KZbin channel need to go. If I'm looking for support but receive laughter instead, then it is time to go. guys stop clinging to lost causes, you'll waste energy and time. It's time to move on! I'm an extreme introvert but Id rather search for new people then being around the wrong ones.

I had a toxic friendship from kindergarten till third grade. She wouldn't let me make other friends, and it didn't help that I was already a shy kid before I met her. But for a few years after we stopped being friends, I was extremely shy and acted cold towards others out of instinct and I was afraid I'd make another "friend" who would manipulate me, so I never talked to anyone. It's been five years since we stopped being friends and I still sometimes have trouble opening up to people and making close friends that I can fully trust, which sucks.

Thank you so much for this video. Im going thru this now and it’s hard because I’ve never really had a whole bunch of friends so if I lose some it hurts extra harder because I feel like I need them, for without them I’ll be friendless and a loner and I’m afraid of that. But what I’ve started to realize is I’d rather have no friends than people who consistently make me feel like shit. Rather if they stress me out, give me anxiety, piss me off, annoy me, make me feel sad or less than, I don’t need that shit in my life nor do I deserve it. I’m a decent human being, I know I’m not a bad person, and I try to be better every day but that doesn’t mean I have to change the foundation of who I am for people who wouldn’t change for me or anyone for that matter. You rather like me, or you don’t. Accept me for me, or keep it pushing. I’m done trying to change myself for other people I need to learn to be confidence in who I am as a person.

I just got through a toxic friendship, literally hours ago. It was the worst friendship of my life. She constantly lied to me and did it unabashedly, and I couldn’t trust her. She was selfish, rude, and incredibly judgmental. She made me feel guilty for everything, and I felt so trapped in that friendship. I wanted to get out but couldn’t, she would guilt trip me and had me sobbing myself to sleep so many times. I felt like I owed her something, and I was the doormat to her shoe. Now I can see how much she had been manipulating me and how awful she was treating me. She never cared about me, and said that to me to my face. I couldn’t get out though, because she was the only best friend I’ve ever had. She was so sweet, AT FIRST. She was so caring, AT FIRST. She was so gentle, AT FIRST. Everything changed though, once I told her parents she was suicidal. I called her for two hours and she talked about killing herself. She talked about letting go. She talked like this was her last day, she started giving away all the money she had and distancing herself from everyone. And her voice... she sounded so defeated and dead. I knew I would regret for the rest of my life if I didn’t tell someone and she killed herself. So I talked to my parents and they called her Mom and explained what happened. It’s been a month since that day, and she never spoke to me once. I just messaged her yesterday apologizing, which now I see I didn’t need to do. Why was I apologizing? I was trying to save her life! I wanted to help her! I sent her a four paragraph message about how I loved her(she was my cousin) and how I missed her and thought she was incredible. You know what she sent back? “:my name:, I’m fine. Our friendship is over. The last month I’ve spent not texting you has made me so much happier. You can make new friends.” Just like that. Our twelve years of knowing each other and three years of friendship were GONE because I was trying to help her. I was trying to help her! I started crying immediately after that message because it hurt so much. I felt like giving up, but then I realized. This was the push I needed to break away from this toxic friendship. I didn’t reply to the message, instead I blocked her on iMessage and all social media’s. I still hurts what she said to me and I’m sure it’ll still keep hurting, but I can see clear as day now how harmful she was to me. If you’re seeing this(you know who you are): Please never do this to anyone again. I will not be your doormat for you to step on. All those times I’ve helped you with homework, grieving, and advice are gone now. This was your choice, I will no longer be manipulated by you. Thank you for ending the friendship, I needed to get away but didn’t know how to do it. I would say I hope you have a good day, but all the late nights I’ve spent talking to you, the sobs I’ve shed for you, the anxiety attacks I’ve had because of you say otherwise. Never treat anyone how you’ve treated me. Have fun with your life!

This is my story I know people probably aren’t interested but it feels good to share it I had a really close friend who seemed like a really nice person, she was my second best friend and in a friendship trio with me and my best friend. Then someone called me a slut and a bunch of people joined in. I didn’t react very well, I got really sad and got depression, but to mask that depression I made myself really angry and said some things I probably shouldn’t have. This friend acted like she was supporting me but then started saying that I was reacting really stupidly, I thought she was just trying to help until one day. She tried to turn my best friend against me by teaming up against me and saying that I was being stupid and toxic, though I never got them involved. After it was all resolved, my best friend apologised but the fake friend never did, I assumed she implied it somehow and I’d just missed it. Then the fake friend stopped being as close with me and my best friend over time, and started ranting to whoever would listen about how awful I was and how I got away with everything. This is my story.

I recently ended a friendship with someone... We were really close, closer than anyone I’ve been friends with before. He gave me so much and I tried to do the same. (I failed at that). We did so much together until I needed some space. He freaked out and started a horrible cycle. Each time he’d find an issue with how I was behaving and would often tear apart my character every time. He was always blunt but in hindsight he pulled no punches. Each time I’d come to dread our interactions. I was never good but I tried to keep going. I just never did anything right. It was a depressive episode on his part that broke us. He said something that just terrified me (something along the lines of I should be expect him to be snappy). We ended up not messaging for two months. I threw myself into my courses and I tried to avoid doing any guilt tripping or unhealthy clinging. Just when I was starting to properly let go he came back... and I saw how toxic our friendship was. He was emotionally manipulative (indirectly blamed me for his self harm etc). I was always too scared and then too resentful to communicate my issues. I knew that it was not a healthy dynamic. I thought about fixing it, trying to start again. I didn’t want to lose my friend, someone I had come to care about only to fail at showing it. I knew that it was easier and nicer to try again but healthier to step back. I never threw my emotions at him like he did to me, but the heartbreak I felt was devastating and unlike anything else I’ve felt. I didn’t tell him all the awful tings I thought about how he acted or treated me, I didn’t even argue with him. I just told him that we weren’t good for each other. He never forgave me, he never really acknowledged what I said in a way that mattered. Even so, I will always wish him the best. I’m grateful for everything I learnt during my time with him.

I know I'm late to comment but, I just left a friend I had in my life for 17 years. I helped him through so many of his emotional crises and he never once thanked me. I stayed by his side even though he gaslit me about major times he crossed my boundaries (even tried to kill me with his car during an "episode"), and he never apologized to me for anything. Now I'm 35 and I've cut out two major social circles in 1 year to cut out two toxic people. I must say, I feel like a better person already now that I have no facebook, no baggage, and can count the people I can trust on two hands. Even if someone is in your life for decades, that might just mean you've kept the blinders on for way longer than you need to. Have a great day, and take care of yourself.

I have a toxic friend that I’m desperately trying to leave but the problem is every time id try to distance myself, she’d see it and come to me to torture me. There are times I’ve been obvious about what I wanted to do and she would end up near me in school during our recesses and she’d either say things to her friends really loud to make sure I hear it or she’d get really physical. I’m not weak it’s just that I don’t want to have on my school records that I’d gotten into drama. My dreams of going to college help me cope and just bare these situations but I really desperately want to get away from her.

I remember not long ago, sitting with a toxic friend in his little apartment, sharing drinks and talking about music. At one point, he kicked into his dark side and started giving me his analytical opinion of me which felt degrading. This was very common, I would put up with it or it would trigger me into anger as if I was having to defend something about myself. I went through the cycle of thinking “maybe he has a point. Maybe I am rotten in some of these places.” During this particular moment that we were talking and having drinks and talking about music, I felt the following words come to my mouth and I just let them go, straight to his face: “no one talks to me the way you talk to me. Not even family members.” It took him aback and he seemed to feel shocked and ashamed. We still have those moments where he falls into judging me out loud when we hit on a particular topic during our discussion. The funny thing is, it’s never at a point where I am critiquing him. It’s usually at some point where I critique something or someone he holds dear, something or someone who is not directly connected to him. Usually it’s an ideology or political figure.

I got rid of him, finally, thought i needed him but I realised I didn’t need him a long time ago and I finally did it. It’s gonna be hard to let go but it’s worth it, he never cared about me or my feelings even when I cared for him so much. Pretty sure it was a karmic relationship.

When we try to improve ourselves, when we try to evolve, it's always our friends that just claw into our sides and hold us back. Cull them from your life like cancer, pain is only temporary.

I just don't have the balls to let go just because I'm afraid I will end up dying alone :c Being an introverted person with only a handful of friends, coming across one of these "Jason" is a punch in the gut.

I had a toxic friend for five years. First he'd tell me I'm special, I could do anything and I was beautiful. He was the only person who's ever said that to me. I was depressed when I met him so I was vulnerable. He pressured me into telling him things that bothered me in my life even if I didn't want to. I felt like I had no choice. Which should've been my first clue. I started to get better with my depression, I had new hobbies that made me feel alive, I had more self confidence and learned more about my mental illness and learned that I just needed to adapt to it and it didn't need to be fixed. That's when he started to show more obvious signs. For example: Whenever I talked about a book I liked or a new song I learned on my ukulele, he'd change the subject to whatever he wanted to talk about, he was a artist so he'd talk about that searching for compliments. This was an actual response from him. (Word for word) Him:"So what have you been up to?" Me:"I'm reading a new book! It's so cool! It's about Russia in the 1800s." Him:"Cool". Me:"You think?" Him:"Uh not really." Then he talked about his new art style. When things got really bad he told me that I needed to change, literally he said I needed to change my "Personality" so people would like me. I told him that's so manipulative which began our first fight. We apologized and made up and all was back to normal for two months. But then... He threw the fight back in my face and asked "Do you still trust me." I explained to him that it's already hard for me to trust people so it'll take time to earn my trust back. To which he replied "So you're saying this is all my fault!?" "No, I didn't say that." "That's what it sounds like!" This became a whole thing, I tried explaining that I realize my fault in the situation and how I had forgiven his side but we needed to take a step back and think about our friendship. He told me I just had to get over it and when I said I needed time he said the whole situation was my fault (He didn't imply it, he said it outright) Nobody has ever been so cruel to me before. He then told me I wasn't worth being friends with and blocked me. I wish I had understood the simple signs, but I'm honestly glad to be out of there, I'd rather have an equal friendship where my voice matters. Where I was important too. It hurts but it was worth the experience. If you even suspect that they may be toxic you should take a step back and really consider your friends actions.

I've been trying to leave my best friend for a while as I've been feeling unhappy with her lately. I failed, because I can't say no to crocodile tears. After I watched your videos though, I realized she was manipulative, and I'm gonna have a shot at it again. Thanks Psych2go!

As I grow older I really realise that with my own personal growth I need to really leave and recognize the people who haven't grown themselves or don't want me to change. I have learned how toxic people can be and letting go, deleting and cutting out people that have made me feel uncomfortable or negative has been a real relief and life changing. It's easy to think that just because you were friends with someone you still need to be - Social media doesn't help this as naturally we would not have a list of over 10 people as friends and would not stay in contact with people after a longer period of non contact. I deleted FB in January after using it pretty much every day for 13 years. I don't miss it at all.

I wish i saw this two years ago when i lost all my friends. I've been in a depressive kind of state because of it, never did i think i was better off without them or that they were toxic. All i saw was i was left behind and not worth staying for. But maybe better they left sooner than later when I've come even more attatched. I think. I hope...

I've dropped all my friends because of two inside the group were growingly becoming more and more toxic. They kept exploiting me. They kept mistaking my kindness as a weakness. We were one group of 10 and we almost spent 20 years together. I keep them in my heart and i just let it go one day and never answered their call. If they showed up at my door i didn't answer the door. I still think about them and smile to this day. I hope they understand that it wasn't personal. Some people have different fates and we don't choose so much of our personality.

Toxic friends don't need you as a person, you are just a placeholder when they couldn't find no one else, or somebody canceled them at the last minute. They want to be with you only on their terms. When you have something that is important to you, or you need help, they will be occupied, they will not have time, or will openly dismiss it. They also talk behind your back about whatever you shared with them and make fun of that, even exaggerating, they are not here to help you but themselves.

I tried opening up to my friend as nice as i could about how they effected me and i made sure to point out that i understood where they were coming from but they lashed out and started talking about how they didnt know why "my insecurities were their issue." We have been friends for years and its like a coin flip whether or nor they are going to be nice or lash out. I just cant take it anymore and ive given them so many chances and so many confessions about how i feel with no empathy returned i think i should just leave. The problem is that they are so engrained in all of my friendships, school, neighboorhood, and life that i dont know how everyone would react if i suddenly distance myself. They for one would make a whole scene about it and i dont want to lose anyone else.

I had a friend who I known 3 years. Our friendship had been on and off for a while and I had dealt with her being so available when she need something from me. Every time I get paid, she always text me 'how are you doing' and asks for money and never pay me back. I felt she was a narcissist.
