Hello Everyone...
This is Thinking and this is my first post. I will soon post "Hello" post to our intriduction section also...meanwhile cant wait to share with you all my writings. I am so happy to join you guies. Thanks.
Thinking about friends…?
Last night realized that I have more toxic friends than...
Fun Friends, Casual Friends and the Best Friend.
Hmmm…Toxic Friends….
A toxic friend is a "Friend" who is
(a) not really your friend
(b) bad for you.
(c ) don’t care about you
(d) don’t listen to you
I have encountered several types of toxic friends and just realized that I have more toxic friends than real friends.
The toxic friend types are as follows:
1) The Cutter - She cuts you down in a subtle yet not very subtle manner. She makes back-handed compliments. e.g. "Wow that dress is so big and flowy".
Which is really a diplomatic statement on your shape.
Or, when something crappy happens to you, instead of encouraging you or cheering you up, she says "Awww! I'm so glad that didn't happen to me. I feel so sorry for you!"
2) The Competitor - She is very competitive with you, almost bordering on jealous.
She can't stand to see you happy.
When something really great happens to you--promotion, losing five pounds—and while you just started to tell her about it she changes the subject to something she has accomplished.
3) The Big Baby - She is very self-absorbed.
She talks about herself 24-7 and asks you about her problems, her concerns, her issues.
She never once asks you how your day went, and when you try to tell her about your day, she interrupts you to tell you how what you said reminds her of Issue #349.
4) The Downer (rather The Hater, The Complainer) - This friend can always find something new to complain about.
Her co-workers. Her mom. Her boyfriend. Her children. Her Husband.
All have done wrong to her and she really don’t want to listen to your complains at all although your complains are more on humble note.
Everything and anything is a source of angst, pain, and suffering.
She continuously exudes and defecates negativity.-------
Okay that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there are more.
Anyways, last night out of blue when I look around to find someone to talk to…at least a good listener I didn’t call any of my friends though long list of so called FRIENDS was in hand.
But than I think that may be some of these toxic friends would have been thinking about me the same way I have thought about them and may be they wanted to talk to someone too and three to four times...hmmm....
They may had search their friend list in their mobile to find someone worthy of listening to them and my name must have pass their eyes lot of time but they didn’t even feel any sudden increase of heart beat…which proves that I didn’t pass their selection.
hmmm....toxic friends....anyone???
