How to tell if your friendship is toxic

2. If your friend always wants something from you

   This means that the person is using you for something. Maybe it is money or it could be something as simple as a ride

    When you can’t offer something they want, they will say something like “Oh so you are not my friend because you won’t … for me” This is sometimes followed by #3. This person is manipulative

5. This person will accuse you of doing things you are not

   For example- the person saying that you are dating someone who you are not. No matter how many times you tell them you are not, they will bring this up over and over again.

6. This person will not let you have a relationship even though they may be in one

   This is a sign of control. They say they will fight anyone who wants to date you. When you do start dating someone, this person will end the friendship. They want to be the only one in your life and will not accept anyone taking you from them

7. This person spies or has people spying on you

  How does this person know you had company?? They have friends who are spying on you. These ‘friends’ of theirs may lie about what they see you doing which in turn makes the person accuse you of doing something you are not

8. You find that things are missing when you leave your friend alone in your house

   ‘Where did the $5 go??’ You remember … was over and you left them alone in your kitchen since you had to use the bathroom. The $5 was on the counter. You want to believe that the … did not take the money. You want to believe you did not put the $5 on the counter. Though you remember that things seem missing whenever your friend is alone. Hmm
