We come across many people in life, at work, through common friends, and even the occasional friend of convenience you bump into and stay friends with. But in all of these types of friends and new friendships you create, there are a few types of bad friends you definitely can do without! The sooner you weed out the bad ones, the better you’ll start to feel about your life and your future. So which friends should you finally let go of? In this particular write-up, we shall look at seven types of friends you need to unfriend for your own sanity.
The selfish friend. This is the type of friend who thinks everything revolves around them. They only hang out with you or do things when it suits their own purpose, and they won’t be caught dead doing something nice for someone else unless they have an ulterior motive.
The always unavailable friend. You know the one who always wants to get together, but when you try to make a plan, they remind you of how busy they are? Their calendar never seems to clear up, but they still want to be on your friends list… without doing any of the actual friend activities, that is.
The excuse friend. This is the friend who has an excuse for everything. They couldn’t meet you? There’s an excuse. They lied to you about something and you caught them? There’s a bigger excuse. Every single time you confront them about anything, they lie right through their teeth. And over time, your expectations from their stoop so low you don’t even care if they’re exploiting you.
The self-esteem destroyer. Real friends will love you for who you are, but bad friends will wreak havoc on your self-esteem in order to protect their own fragile self-worth. Whether it’s fat shaming or pointing out all your flaws on a regular basis, this friend needs a kick to the curb.
The bad advice counselor. This friend always gives you the worst advice, and they get their kicks out of your life mistakes. They might make you break up with your boyfriend, or convince you that your girlfriend is cheating on you, just because misery loves . If they don’t have your best interests at heart, they aren’t a friend.
The influencer friend. The one who will only walk around with you if you look good. They will give you a weird look when you walk out in sweats while they’re dressed to kill. They are looking for an entourage based on looks, not on actually building solid friendships for life. All these people want is an audience, and they really aren’t the type to be around for the long haul.
The “friend” who’s trying to sleep with you. These types of friends don’t really want to be your friend at all. All they’re doing is secretly hoping for your current relationship to fail or for you to get drunk enough to sleep with them. These friends will flirt with you and ask hypothetical questions about the two of you hooking up.
