Are your friends toxic?

"You do not lose real friends, real opportunities or real relationship when you start standing up for yourself and setting clear boundaries. You lose abusers, manipulators narcissists control freaks attention seekers and mental health destroyers." Author unknown post via Pinterest.

I firmly believe that you are a reflection of the five people you surround yourself with most. A lot of times we may not want to distance ourselves from others due to..

-Hurting other peoples feelings

-Because you have been friends for so long

While getting rid of toxic friendships is not easy it is so crucial to take care of your personal well being and mental health. Not only is having a healthy mental health good for you it is also good for those around you. It is hard to love others if you do not love yourself and the life you live.

Pro tip: Try talking to your friends about the issues you may have, if they do not listen and try to take what you say into consideration then it is a sign they are not true friends.
