I used to have a roommate at university who was pure toxic and guess what, she made all friends turn away from one of the girls in our circle of friends. She turned everyone against her with lies, just because she was jealous to her. It took a while until we all found out what was going on. She is still toxic. She stole another woman's husband and made the stupid man's life hell too.

[@Elemblue2]

I knew a toxic person who was so high functioning they did some crazy shit that for some reason no one else even acknowledged. They wanted to date another person, and that person said they were not into them. So they sabotaged their entire social life and made them a laughing stalk. Isolated and alone, the butt of every joke. It took a concerted campaign to make this happen, and I remember just how down and isolated that person was. I remember going up to them and being like "This isnt you. Someone is trying to destroy you and your self confidence. I dont know what they have in mind, but its more than casual". In those moments, they really appreciated the support because I swear everyone else cared so much about politics they forgot to be decent. Then that person, having successfully isolated and destroyed the self confidence of this person, moved in. They then became "The only source of support" that person had. The only one lifting them up. I dont count because when I did it, I was just doing it to be decent. This person had an agenda, and they made the person they isolated FEEL that they were alone in the world and only had them. They then transitioned it to a relationship in that "One step at a time" kinda way that doesnt require you actually make a decision. The same way you get addicted to drugs. At that point they then went the other way, lifting this person up and blaming everyone else for attacking them because they were jealous. They made sure they never got too close to their friends after that. Always second teir, leaving early kinda stuff. Keeping them dependant. Sometimes when we were just alone in the room for whatever reason, it would all stop and we would just look at eachother and say nothing. They couldnt get me with their games and I refused to play, so we just existed around eachother. The lack of pretense in those memories still freaks me out, even though at the time I recognized it was a predator face off an I had to make sure they knew I was not prey. They strait isolated that person from the pack, hunted them, and claimed them. They made the political landscape such that everyone had short memories about it. Then they went about consuming others. Shit was scary. Especially the short memories part.

Yeeesssss omg because like- almost all of my friends are super the opposite of self absorbed, meanwhile I care for myself quite a bit, and I know it's probably way better to care for myself than not but I can't help but think am I selfish? also, my friends buy me gifts n stuff but I can't do the same for them because I don't have any money so most of what I do is handmake things or draw, but I worry that's not good enough. I'm afraid that maybe someone is gonna snap at me one of these days.

[@kennylionheart3255]

I think it's important to identify not only toxic people, but toxic groups as well. I've seen both. It's like the old saying goes "birds of a feather flock together". You can have a good group that becomes polluted by that one douchenoodle, and on the other side of the coin, you can have that one good person who accidentally falls into the wrong crowd. I've learned the hard way. Used to chill and mingle with a group that seemed really cool on the surface, but really enjoyed talking garbage about others behind their back. Like "this person smells", or "that person is dumb", or "this person is this, that, and the other thing." I even found myself contributing to the conversation and agreeing with these douchenoodles, just so I wasn't "that guy". Overtime I just started slowly building resentment for the kind of people they were, and distanced myself from them more and more each time, until finally I didn't have to deal with them anymore, and it's been great ever since. I still see them around occasionally, but I keep convos extremely short, sometimes only saying "hi" and "bye". Usually acting like I'm too busy to chat, and "I gotta jet outta here". What that said, I just want to point out that it's perfectly possible for a group to be just as toxic as an individual. The whole "pack mentality" can be a very bad thing. I keep and eye out for that crap now. Anyone, or any group acting the fool/fools, I distance myself from now, before it even starts. Stay safe out there all! Avoid those toxic douchnoodles! Lol

[@sirembrum49thegreatmoth2]

I love this comment as I've been there. Knew this girl who seems cool but I made her mad once on accident she they showed me her group of friends who were very rude, toxic telling me lies about who I am. They just met me. A bunch of trash talkers. I'm glad I kept my distance and she left and I went my own way...I don't miss her either.

[@TonyStark-kd5ti]

I was in a group like that. One half was chill and smoked weed and we did cool things together, the other were emos. I was unproblematic as hell and overfriendly so the emos didn't like me. They all turned on me one day and cut me off and I was so upset. In the end I never spoke to any of them again and hung out with the other half of the group that was cool asf.

[@Goobin-time]

just say douchebag bro

[@AJellyBean.-.]

This really makes me feel more confident in my decision of leaving my friend group. For years we've been great friends but I was someone who wasn't very confident about myself. I was also someone who was suffering with anxiety and depression. These friends were twins and there parents weren't the greatest but basically every argument that we had it felt as it was always my fault, that I was the problematic one, or that they were the victim, and they practically gaslighted me and took advantage of my self-consciousness to make them feel good about themselves probably. They were always the ones trying to get me into things, and when we did stuff together, they always seemed to be bored with my ideas rather than there's. Of course, I was naive and not in the right mindset but neither were they. When I finally said my goodbyes in the nicest way possible, they just kept being bitches and saying that it's my fault and that anxiety has nothing to do with the way I act which, spoiler alert, mental health does a lot. I was a supportive friend, even in my worst times, and they never did much for me so seeing this makes me realize how similar this Eric was. For those who are struggling, please be careful with the friends you choose, otherwise, they might make your life even worse. Thankfully I'm in better spot in my life and recovering better with the support of my mom so I can honestly say, I made the right decision and even gained a lot of self confidence in myself.

toxic people are toxic, they cannot maintain friendships or love because they are immature but they have a talent for passing their problem on to people who have never asked for it, but the point is that if you are too naïve or too protective, it's the same as toxic people you should be able to let your friends learn their own lessons

I had a toxic friend once. He was always jealous of me and thought I was holding him back. And when his wife saw he was having problems he totally flipped out! He started yelling at her and then got mad at me! He claimed that I "turned her against" him and the psycho got so mad he actually tired to kill me! Needless to say I had to end our friendship there is then. I *_cut_* things off with him both literally and figuratively. Word is he's still _smoldering_ about the entire confrontation.

There will always be this toxic in society, you are so right !, what I knew so far that they are at least in a big social circle such as Classes and so on. What I understood today, is that they do not stop there but find a way to crawl into a normal social circle, I had a friend who always kept an eye on my actions - feels almost a kind of parent - I'm kind of successful in school, thank God, and he would get upset every time I missed or did not show up for one reason or another, Not to mention that when he was missing out, it's usually because he spent all night at the bar or went to At sea or to the pool, and that guy, feels the need to criticism me, Nice to know that more people understand this kind of people and are careful about it...

OR just tell stories with facts - no labels or judgment-and then let other people come to their own conclusions. Be an ear and source of validation when they’re ready.

@@cornloin9732 You should always think in the other person's perspective and be open-minded to where they are coming from. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but you should still respect their boundary and just leave as that. Understand that the world does not revolve around you, and most people honestly don't care about you or what you do because they have their own problems to worry about. It doesn't mean you aren't important; it just means you just need a couple true friends that are there for you when you need it. Relationship is a both way. You need to be there for them when they are going through a rough time just like they would for you. Those are the ones that's worth your time to reach out to; otherwise, don't bother.

Likewise. Been friends with a girl since elementary school, but her dark side wasn't made obvious to me until my 16th birthday party. She wanted nothing to do with me the entire day, instead spending a majority of her time on my computer chatting on Facebook. Two years later, she didn't even invite me to her 16th. Her parents felt guilty because they assumed we were very close, and so they were the ones that came to my house to apologize, even giving me a slice of her cake. Come to think of it, her parents were better friends than my "best friend" was...>

Something to remember is that if you like that person or genuinely don't feel bad about being a toxic persons friend, that's okay! I've been told I was being manipulated before, even though I was doing a lot for them and not for my self, I was tired of working on me and I enjoy acts of services for others even if there's not visible return, conversations with them were amazing and their still my friend right now. Although if you feel like your being hurt it's unhealthy to stick around, but if you feel like you want to stay (don't let hat urge push you to) but its okay to talk to them about altering. No one wakes up and says "I'm gonna be a horrible person today!" and if they do its for the lols, keep in mind that the most annoying, toxic and/ or rud people are the ones that need the most help and probably need a lot of therapy of just someone who understands them, most toxics are broken, not villons.

[@Wildcat144]

I recognized that in the past (and even in the recent past) that I was often the toxic one. I let my pride, my ego, and my narcissism get the best of me for years and it hurt a lot of the people I loved. I did things I thought were right at the time, but turned out to be in self interest. I have since apologized to my group of friends, and I asked them for help. I realized it wasn't something I could do alone. I needed people to call me out on my bull shit. I still have a few tendensies, but over all, I am getting better. I am more humble. But I still have a ways to go. This helps me to know what to look for better. This helps a toxic person rehabilitate. Thank you.

[@Nolife8008]

People change, and it is also important for you to reflect on where those actions might have stemmed from. Although it is not an excuse, going back in time can help you fix broken pieces and rebuild yourself.

[@coachcosta69]

Don’t write yourself off just yet. You could be a confused victim. Narcissists often make their victims identify with them. And narcissists don’t usually change. So it’s more likely you never were a narcissist and were gas lighted.

I had a toxic friend back in art school who was comically bad. -I sent him a concept I'd been working on to proofread, and he submitted it as his own project -He'd ask people to see what they were working on, then steal the good parts claiming "Oh I'd always had this idea, I just never drew it until now" -Never contributed to group projects, he'd go out at lunch breaks to buy manga, then read it DURING school hours when we were waiting on his work. -When he'd get in trouble for slacking off, he'd always blame someone else. It was NEVER his fault, he was "only slacking because people were harsh to him for slacking." -He stayed with friends but barely ever paid rent, and kept mooching off other people for food, never got a job. -When people weren't giving him attention, he'd get really upset and start being an asshole, spreading stories and revealing secrets of his other friends, just to get attention back. -He thought very highly of himself, and thought there was something wrong with women for not wanting to date him. "I'm so smart and handsome, I'm like an elvish prince, if you don't want a piece of this, then you're dumb as shit". After a year, almost the entire class wanted nothing to do with him lol

some toxicity is much more subliminal. i knew someone who had a lot of emotional issues and they said their friends stopped texting them so i flung myself at them to be a shoulder to cry on and everything, i just care about people yknow what i mean? and we text and chat A LOT. but not just friend texts, it was always helping them work through their problems and i was like "i get it fam youre going through a lot, i GOTCHU homie." but no matter how much advice i gave and reassurance, its like everything i put into our relationship grew no fruit. it was ALWAYS me doing stuff to make them feel better, and then when i needed someone to talk to about stuff in MY life --- nothing. it got so draining, i dreaded their messages and phone calls because of the emotional toll. eventually they went to inpatient therapy for self harm and couldnt text me and it was kind of a relief. after they got out we just kind of drifted apart and i havent heard from them since. like i get it they needed help, but no matter how much help i gave (and i gave my EVERYTHING you must understand) i just ended up feeling used. so yeah, people can feed on your kindness sometimes.
