1. They always seem to be in a bad mood when everyone else is
talking to you more than they are talking to that person.
2. They don’t include you in gossip and secrets they share with
others. However, they do make their own secrets with you about other friends in
the group behind their back.
3. Whenever you do talk to them, the entire conversation is
usually about them.
4. If you try to change the topic and talk about something you
like, you are abruptly interrupted.
5. If you succeed in something or have made an achievement and
tell them about it, they have a deadly scowl on their faces.
6. They will go on to say that oh “ I once did this and
achieved this” making it sound like yours was a no big deal.
7. They have a whole bunch of sarcastic remarks about everything
you have to say and pretend to be “just kidding”.
8. They always ditch your plans and only show up when their
plan is accepted by everyone.
9. They will force you into doing something you’d rather not only to
remind of “that one time you…” all the time.
10. They never return your calls or even message back when
you’ve called them many times.
11. They have a bunch of excuses for why they can’t help you.
12. They never give you the complete scoop on anything that
happened when you weren’t there and you only find out from someone else.
13. They will ditch you anytime to hang out with their boyfriend
but they’ll absolutely make you feel bad about doing the same when they’re
single.
14. You hang out with them all the time, but never spill your
real thoughts and secrets around them.
15. They always act like a drama queen when you don’t pay enough attention for a short while.
16. They blame you and make you apologize(for the sake of their
friendship) for something you clearly didn’t do.
17. They throw shade on you while you’re there by saying how she
hates “when people do/wear this” and it’s probably something you do.
18. You often feel lonely in their company.
I’ve experienced all of the above from multiple people I’ve
come across in my life and I'm sure everybody has at some point. I’ve been hurt, I’ve been annoyed but now that I think
of it, all these experiences have only made me wiser. I’m going to sound like a
chain mail from the 2000s, but if a couple of those points made you think about
someone in your life you need to let them go and do it as gently as you can. Personally, the only way to deal with such a
person is to step away, let distance do it’s work and disappear from their
lives as soon as possible. I’ve found that the longer you pretend to like this
person, you’re going to be hurting yourself more in the process. Like Oprah
Winfrey once said, “ Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift
you higher”.
