Friendship and relationships are supposed to add value, laughter, and a little sanity to your life. But some people? They’re more like emotional potholes — unavoidable at first, but painful every time you hit them. Here’s a guide to spotting the ones you should dodge like expired milk.
1. The Chameleons
These people change their personality depending on who’s around. Today they’re your ride-or-die, tomorrow they’re someone else’s hype squad. Life’s too short to be friends with someone who can’t be themselves around you.
2. The “Trust Me” Crew
They’ll tell you “trust me” like it’s magic words. Real trust doesn’t come with a disclaimer. If you need convincing constantly, it’s a red flag, not a reason to hand over your heart (or secrets).
3. The Professional Talkers-About-Others
They can’t stop trashing other people — and guess what? They’ll do the same about you when you’re out of earshot. Consider this a heads-up: loyalty isn’t optional.
4. The Can’t-Keep-A-Secret Squad
These people treat your secrets like currency for attention. Share something personal, and watch them trade it for likes, laughs, or a chance to be the center of the conversation. Privacy is priceless — protect it.
5. The Perpetual Victims
Everything is their fault… until it’s yours. They cry injustice while being the instigators. They’re villains in disguise, and drama follows them like glitter after a toddler craft session.
6. The Only-When-You’re-Useful Folks
They reach out only when they need something. If your phone isn’t ringing for laughs, support, or shared joy, it’s ringing because you’re a tool, not a friend. And tools don’t need loyalty.
The lesson? Your energy is precious, your peace is priceless, and your circle should be full of people who actually value you. Spot the red flags early, set boundaries, and dodge the unnecessary drama.
Because honestly… life’s too short to be friends with people who make it complicated.
