Sometimes when we first become friends with someone, we may overlook some red flags.
and a lot of people provided very vulnerable stories below:
1.
I said yes and let him in, not thinking anything of it.
I was so pissed and just exhausted by it all.
I couldn’t keep up with it anymore.
At that moment, I knew it was over.
I haven’t seen her since."
(She later admitted to doing this all intentionally).

Ironically, I was too busy to pay attention because I was doing HER homework for her.
I’m going to take a guess that she’s still toxic."
“She was sleeping with my ex-husband for well over a year.
She was my ‘best friend’.
Mind you, she was also married with kids.
I’m now happily married and expecting my first baby girl.”

“I had a really good friend who completely betrayed me.
Let’s call her Sophie.
At a wedding, I was dancing with a guy we were both friends with, Tom.
Later that night, she started flirting with him, and two weeks later, they got together.
I put it aside.
I’d never actually told her I liked him, and we were such good friends.
I naively didn’t consider that it could have been malicious until a year later.”
“She quickly found a new friend group of all rich girls.
We would see her out sometimes, and she would turn her nose up at us.
She no longer had a credit card and was forced to get a job.
Those rich friends dumped her as soon as she lost all her funds.”

“She was my sorority Big Sister, and I thought she was a real friend.
We spent all our free time together.
People think because youre friends with some of the board members, youre a snitch and a troublemaker.
I know you arent, but thats what they think.'
“So, currently, Im in a friendship that I didnt realize was toxic until recently.
For most of 9th grade, I was in a friend group of four until Ava ruined it.
She told the entire class about a girls private situation in her life.
The girl completely left the friend group.
She tried to be nicer, but she gave up after a week.
I cant decide if I should leave the friendship.

“She cared more about being popular than being friends with me.
I worked at a big-name store that sold more affordable options for people, and I LOVED that job.
She looked at me with disgust and said, ‘I don’t wear those clothes.’
She was so embarrassed!
That was the end of us hanging out together.
“She kicked everyone out of her house when we were watching a movie.
She didn’t like that people had different opinions and decided we should just leave.
It wasn’t even a huge disagreement.
Some people just didn’t find the message compelling.
Don’t ignore red flags y’all.”

Amy was gorgeous, vivacious, and had an enviable wardrobe.
(I’m talking HARMFUL lies, like things that could ruin a person’s career.)
She also bullied friends, finding their biggest insecurity or trauma and exploiting it.”
“I was friends with this girl in college.
I was shy, and she was super extroverted, so I was naturally attracted to her personality.
My ‘friend’ looked at her and said, ‘That is the ugliest thing Ive ever seen.’

I felt bad (so naive!
), so I arranged to have her be a large part of the pre-wedding events.”
