7 Tips To Know If You Have Shitty Friends So You Can Drop Them

Having bad friends is really the worst thing to go through. You put your trust in someone else and they just end up being a crappy person who has offered you nothing but hardships. Sometimes realizing you have shitty friends can be worse than losing a lover.

Your friends also shape who you are. If you’re surrounded with bad people, your life will reflect that. You’ll be more insecure and have a lot more negativity present than you probably want. Knowing which friends are the bad ones can help you learn who to cut out.

If you want to make your life better and richer, surround yourself with positive people who really care about you. That’s really the basis of it. The better the people are in your life, the better you will be. And the happier you will be.

That’s why you should never tolerate less than the more amazing friends. If they’re not adding anything to your life or not building you up every single day, they’re not worth it.

# You’re always the first to initiate a hang out

When you’re the only person reaching out and, well, caring, it’s a problem. A friend who never wants to spend time with you probably isn’t a good friend. They only reach out when they need you. That’s a shitty friend.

# Your texts go unanswered

Basically, whenever you send out texts, you hardly get replies. Then maybe a week later you’ll get a text apologizing, only to realize it’s because they need something from you. These types of people are shitty friends. They don’t truly care about you or they’d respond no matter what.

# They get mad at you for stuff they do all the time

AKA, they have so many double standards. They can ignore your texts but if more than a couple hours goes by without you responding, they get pissed. This isn’t a true friendship. This is them practically using you for something. Ditch them.

# They don’t support your goals

Anyone who doesn’t fully support your goals doesn’t belong in your life. As long as what you want to do is moral and doesn’t harm anyone else or yourself, they should be on your side. They shouldn’t be sitting there making passive aggressive comments about it. Nor should they doubt you. If they are, then you have shitty friends.

# They’re talking bad about you behind your back

If other friends are coming to you with news that a couple others are talking shit about you, then you clearly have really bad friends. They’re not friends if they’re being mean to you. Sure, friends can be annoyed with you but actually talking bad about you is a whole other, more harmful thing.

# They talk bad about people you care about

On the flip side, they might be talking shit to your face, just about other people you still like and care about. It can be your family members or just other people. If they’re talking bad about others to you, they’re probably talking bad about you to others. Get rid of those shitty friends.

# The prevent you from having fun

If they’re just full of negativity, they’re going to prevent you from having a good time. That’s just how those types of friends work. Whenever you go out for a good time, they end up making it horrible and they spoil all the fun.
