Even Friendship can be toxic too.


Listen Later

We all talk about toxic relationships between two
lovers. But we hardly talk about toxic friendships. We think that it's cool. What can be toxic between two friends? Everything is so casual and happy, right? But that's so, so wrong. Friendships have deep emotions attached to them. And when the emotions are so deep, things can turn really ugly. You can't always laugh everything off in friendship. Somethings really hurt your soul. And at times, the scars can beat and last a lifetime. You know, it's not necessary that your friend should hate you or be a bad person to make it toxic for you. Sometimes, the friend is a good person and wants only good for you, but somehow things keep getting more ugly, more suffocating. You don't discuss it much because these fights and arguments are for couples, right? In friendship, everything is cool. And that's how we dig our own grave. There are signs, you know. When someone is draining off your energies, when someone always has an issue with you, and when someone is always complaining about something, it's a sign that this beautiful bond of
friendship is turning ugly. Take a step back and think about it. If you will think hard, you will realize how this friendship has become so, so toxic. And you never even noticed it. So when this realization slaps you into reality, please don't take it casually. Please take action. Please try to communicate clearly and honestly what changes you want to see. Give it one last chance. And if things still don't change, then please quit trying to save it. Just leave. Just walk away to peace and personal growth. I know that hanging on and trying to make it work sound so brave and loyal. But you can't keep burning your soul just to make the night look brighter. You have to accept that sometimes, it's not about the person, it's more about how you two are vibing. And when the vibes turn negative, no matter what you try, it will keep eating away your peace. So don't feel guilty. Don't fight much. Don't say bad things. Just accept it and close the gate forever. Pray for that old friend, but start a new life.
