Am I In A Toxic Friendship?👤
Friendships are meant to bring joy, support, and positive experiences into our lives. However, sometimes friendships can take a negative turn and become toxic, causing harm to our emotional well-being. If you've been feeling uneasy or questioning the health of your friendship, this quiz is designed to help you identify potential signs of a toxic friendship.
Toxic friendships can manifest in various ways, and everyone's experiences may differ. Trust your intuition and be honest with yourself as you answer the following questions.
Let's get started!
For the most part, she is a very good friend. She listens, she cares, she’s funny, she’s positive and makes time for us to hang out or text frequently enough. I even feel guilty taking this test because chances are, I’m the toxic friend.
Regardless… she’s a very self confident person and likes to talk about her achievements and good looks and so on so forth. Conversely, I’m very self conscious and I still believe most things I’ve achieved were due to luck. I also don’t have much faith in my skills or looks either.
This results in me being self conscious which is my own fault. But oftentimes she’ll criticise me in how I do things or what I think. She’s very comfortable arguing with me about anything and everything but whenever she decides to end it, it’s over. I’ve never seen her admit to being in the wrong, and even when I’ve proved it to her she’ll pretend like it doesn’t matter or exist.
Even now I’m sitting here fully aware she’s wide awake on her phone but I’m downstairs eating cereal. Her stubbornness not to talk to me is impressive, as she’s a very sociable person. Right now she only talks when spoken to. The weird thing is I don’t think I’ve done anything to her that would warrant this behaviour. The worst I’ve done is try to tickle her and she’s not even ticklish lmao.
Am I creating a narrative where I’m not in the wrong because I can’t see it?
Oftentimes after we talk I feel useless, lesser than her, and incredibly dull and unintelligent. I know if I talked to her about this she would ask “why?” And I wouldn’t even be able to give an answer.
So, I’m going to leave this here. Schools starting tomorrow anyway, so I won’t see her for ages. Even though today was supposed to be the “finale.” Maybe it was the “finale” of our friendship.
When I Call her back to say sorry I couldn’t answer the phone, she doesn’t answer.
She’s not really listening when I talk to her and when I do it’s a shorter time than her.
She seems very self centred and rude.
Sometimes it’s hard to know people when you don’t see them often. Anyway I’ve never been her priority,
She just call when her other friends don’t want to listen to her stories.
I have put some boundaries with days and time to avoid those discussions.
