Yes you heard me right. Why you keep on hanging with friends who constantly put you down?

The good news is you can empower yourself by leaving toxic friends behind. Question is how to know if you have toxic friends?
Here are some indications that you probably are in a snake pit (friends that are not contributing to your growth).

1. If you have friends or a friend that bullies you a lot but not in a good way they prolly are fake. They usually bully you in public or in social media attacking you personally and not minding what you would feel. If their bullying is hurting you please leave them. Why you keep hurting yourself by keeping them in your feed? 

2. They will only message you or talk to you if they have a favor. But when the favor is done you won't even get a thank you message. And when you message them they won't reply immediately and sometimes not even a "seen" notification you can read. These people are users and an indication of a behavior that they are not real friends. Why keep hanging on to people who don't like you?

3. You tell them a secret and confide in them about your problems. They listened but next thing you know what you have shared with them is spread with other friends. Fake friends can't keep your secret with them. Why you keep on trusting them?

4. A fake friend will talk bad things behind your back. They can't tell you straight what their problem with you upfront. If you ever caught them or if someone told you that these friends are talking bad things about you confront them and never trust them again. Why have friends who stabs you? Ouch.

5. Sometimes it's hard to see a fake friend because they are so good at you just because you are also a friend of your friend that is "powerful" or "famous" or "influential". But when things get tough and when a storm came - these leeches will favor to the side of that "powerful" friend. By that time you will see their true colors. And you will realize you never had real friends. What reason do you have to keep those leeches? - Abandon them.

There are a lot of indications of having fake friends. When you notice that you are not happy anymore by their side please leave. Block them or ignore them on social medias or block them from your life. A true friend will always find his or her way back to you.

Leaving is the best gift you can give to yourself. Holding on to toxic relationships can only make yourself suffer and you might end in a depression. Leaving negativity behind can clear your mind and soul and you will have much happier life.

Leaving "toxicity" is empowering yourself!
