3/10Dependent adult

Dependent adult

Are you an adult taking care of another adult in your life? Then you know how taxing it can be to cater to people who need you. Getting involved in such a friendship is heavily toxic as it hampers you from concentrating on your own struggles. While it is not necessary that you put an end to helping out friends in need, you should reassess if there is anything in return that you are getting. It is important to be friends with someone who is able to share the same equation and extends a helping hand in times of need.

4/10Judgemental friend

Judgemental friend

We all have one friend who is judgmental. Even if you feel that they are doing you no harm personally, they can pass on the traits onto you as well. They are extremely critical and make you believe that what you do is not worthy and desirable. This can impact the way you make decisions as well.

Ghosting is the evil most people are afraid of, especially in relationships. This can even extend to friendships where the person you count as trustworthy and dependable listen to your woes but vanishes all of a sudden, which can impact you emotionally. Such relationships often are one-directional, with nothing to return.
