Do you remove the wrong friends from your life?

[LoveFlowers]

I cut off friends who treat me wrong. For example, one of my girlfriends used me as an excuse to go out because her family was strict and she had a boyfriend. I cut her off. I also cut off another friend because she lied and constantly tried to put herself in the spotlight while belittling me. I’ve cut off most of my friends for similar reasons

That's why I haven't had a friend for a year; it didn't used to bother me. Over time, I felt the loneliness; a person really needs a friend.

I am very selective with whom I chose as a friend. Not everyone of my acquaintances is becoming a friend. It takes many years of close relationships for me to finally accept a person as a friend. Otherwise, they are simply acquaintances, or students I interact with but on a more distant level.

I would never share any secrets, even with close friends because that is simply not something to do. Today's friend may be tomorrow's enemy, you never know.

My true friends can be counted on one hand.

I never had to relinquish friendship in the first place because it took me more than 15 years to make a real friend. I can trust them up to a certain extent. I will not hesitate to give them a piece of my mind if they misbehave.

I have 4 really good friends. I had a friend that I got rid of because she dragged my brother by his hair once he was 12 at the time. I went out and grabbed her hair!!

I don’t believe I have ever “removed the wrong friend” from my life. People may have started as acquaintances or colleagues and then ‘became’ more friend-like before finally being considered a friend mutually. The process CAN take time for a person to be shown / considered as friend worthy in my opinion and it’s not a term I use loosely as some do to describe people that I know or more commonly as someone on Facebook or instagram , that’s just ridiculous.


I’m def the quality vs quantity guy and can count my ‘friends’ on one hand



So a wrong friend? , nope , you’re either a friend or you’re not.
