None of us ever want to lose a friend. However, sometimes it’s necessary to cut people out of your life, namely toxic friends. We have all been warned about significant others who are controlling, demeaning, and overall have a mentally damaging and negative effect on their SO. But a friend who acts in this way is incredibly serious as well.

Try to control who you see and hang out with
-

Sometimes you might think, “It’s less drama if I just stay friends with them”, or “I don’t want to not have any friends so I’ll stick with them”, but it’s ALWAYS worth it to cut out toxicity in your life. It’s so much better to have no friends than to have toxic friends. Having this negativity in your life also impacts your health and overall wellbeing, as well as closes you off to making real and good friends.
