SIGNS OF BAD A FRIEND
- Someone who uses you. This could be in the case of having a “friendship” with you because they’re afraid or don’t want to be alone. Or you are beneficial in their life, and they know you will help them in times of need.
- Someone who doesn’t care about your feelings and well-being (but expects you to worship your life around them): for instance, we all know friendships are built based on trust and communication. However, a bad “friend” is someone who ignores your feelings and well-being and isn’t willing to lend a listening ear about your life (whether the good or bad situations), because they couldn’t care less. Friends want to get to know each other, but a bad friend only wants you to get to know her. See the difference?
- You feel uneasy when you’re with this “friend”. Even if there were good times and memories with this person, you still can’t help but feel uneasy. This means you don’t trust them completely and is a definite sign of a bad friend. There’re still doubts in this friendship. It could be this person has let you down before, but you let it slide. It could also be how this person lives his or her life that made you feel uneasy about knowing/being with them.
- Someone who forces you to do things against your morale and values (inflicts peer pressure). A friend or even a nice stranger will never force you to do things that you dislike or feel uncomfortable with. A friend will never want to see you hurt, in pain, or in any kind of discomfort. And if they can live with that, they’re never your friends from the beginning. Friends go through things together, not put one another in undesirable situations.
- This “friend” makes you feel bad about yourself. Of course, not all hearts are the same. So we can’t expect people to treat you the way you treat them. This is impossible for a lifetime. Friends forgive, comfort, and help each other. If you accidentally made a mistake, and this “friend” doesn’t do anything to make the situation or YOU better, or worse, spread the story around and makes fun of it, you know they’re a bad friend.
- Someone who acts differently around others than with you. I would call this a fake friend rather than a bad friend. But there’re people who’re both fake and bad. If someone can’t be themselves around others (for instance, their other friends or partners and you’re witnessing it for yourself, it can be a turn off. You start to doubt the authenticity of this person and the “friendship” you have. Which side is real? You wouldn’t know.
These are for sure signs of a bad friend – a really insecure and mean person in general.
Stay away from them. There’re so many people out there who’re seeking for true friendships. And if you haven’t met any good people so far, start being one.
