get rid of toxic friends

well, i am moving two states away so it should be easy to separate myself from some of the toxic forces, except i have friends in a lot of different states and i still consider them friends.

i don’t know. i don’t want to cut myself off from EVERYONE, i just don’t know which ones are bad and which ones are good – it seems like it should be easy, but it’s not.

i had one revelation about one “friend”. i just have no desire to socialize with her. i always kind of dreaded it and i kind of hated being with her, and she does some questionable things, but there was some odd allure there. i’m over it. we are supposed to hang out but there have been no set plans so i’m just going to ignore it.

i am so ridiculously easily influenced. i’ve just realized this, and i’m lucky more opportunities to do stupid things haven’t presented themselves.

anyway, i need to embrace that whole “quality is better than quantity” deal and really BELIEVE that i’d rather have no friends than bad friends.

Well, maybe I should move this goal. Because I’m done. I have gotten rid of toxic friends. But now I’m alone. Now I have like, 2 friends. I feel like I don’t fit in with the nice people, like I am too weird or whatever to have nice people want to be friends with me. Now I feel more alone. But I guess it is better to be alone than to be around toxic people, even if those people were sometimes your friends. I don’t know. I need to think some more about this.

I got rid of a very toxic friend and it all came back to bite me in the butt. i told a close friend that she was ruining her life but sleeping with everyone she met (even random guys on the street) and she hates me now. but honestly, even tho that girl hates me and she trys to make my life hell, i focus on the good things. no matter how much stuff she spreads about me and my boyfriend, none of that stuff she says is true, and we know that. it only makes us grow closer and love him even more. life is too short to waste on people that cause drama and are constantly negitive and immature.

i got rid of this toxic friend, and i’ll let you all know, it was the best decision i ever made.

I got rid of my toxic friends and relatives. It took a while. They spun more rubbish about me then eventually started on someone else. However i am having trouble finding new non toxic friends as i live in a really bad area. I shall keep at it though.One thing to remember with their behaviour its a form of abuse. And typical of lower class societies but not limited to.

you can’t be friends with someone who just uses you to dump all their problems on who seems jealous of you, tries to make you feel or look bad, to make their self esteem better.

Getting rid of people you cant trust or people that bring you down can be hard at first. But new people fill the spaces< you force yourself to fill those spaces… and things just get better from there.

I have had this friend Amanda. She is truly a wonderful person when she’s sober. But that doesn’t happen often. I’m battling with letting her go. I want to help her. She doesn’t listen. She doesn’t think she has a problem and I’m scared that if we stay friends she’ll bring me down with her. I’ve already started the process of cutting her out. We had a long talk yesterday and I told her exactly how I feel. She acted indifferent.

I just stopped caring and looked to other sources….
it’s so much better for me ;)

i’m at a point in my life where i’ve realized that i need to find strength from within, rather than rely on those surrounding me. i’ve found out the hard way that you only really can depend on very few people in your life.

i have two very toxic friends that i’ve known for a long time/grew up with. we have had a sort of three-way best friend thing going on for many years, but recently i feel bad about myself when i am around either of them.

i’m not sure if ending the friendship forever is a good idea, but to me, at this stage, they are nothing but toxic friends.

so my first goal is to get rid of them and try to form new, deeper, supportive and awesome friendships.

wish me luck.
