i lost some of my friends last year, we have a bad arguments that shake up our friendship and now we just separate. at that arguments moment i thought i do the right thing because i feel sad by their action, but looking back at it right now, maybe im the toxic one in our friendship. my friends usually are quiet so im the one who goes talking, i actually really like it if my friends if the one who does talking its just, even before friends they rarely talk about themself i understand that quiet people can take times to go out of their shells ( i mean im also one) but im aware that good relationship start with balance interaction, which i feel i dont get it from them cuz they hear and know about me but i know nothing from them. i always said to them that if they have problem i will be there for them and listen to their problem, i guess they just dont believe me or maybe again im just the toxic one lol. the conclusion i got from many friendship i had is just relationship are such a more big ass complex problem than math or science that i can never solve it.

man, lately I've been really worried my best friend was getting ready to replace me, we don't live in the same state anymore and she's been talking to a new friend lately, I haven't been getting to talk to her much lately, it's had me really down and I've been trying to keep that to myself. I wouldn't want to put too much focus on me. I don't want to be a toxic friend. She's often the one reassuring me that everything's gonna be okay and I can't keep crying to her whenever something doesn't go my way. I've been passive-aggressive to her new friend and even a bit hotheaded about it to her. I'm trying to do a lot of thinking about myself and I've done some research. I feel like I've been a real dunderhead of a friend. I've got abandonment issues and they tend to get the best of me. Still trying to work that out

This is what happened: My best friend is moving today tomorrow and sunday. she told me this several times last month and this month leading up to this. today she calls me after i get home from work after last night i had asked if she wanted to talk tonight when she was done. just 30 minutes ago ( we were sitting on call not talking as we do sometimes because she lives in the next state over) I was trying to ask to talk tonight after she was finished for today and she is mad because she has to move a dresser that is not hers, ( i did not know until i asked why she was upset with me)she said I was annoying her. My question: Was I bothering her too much? side note: I apologized for annoying her and that she was mad over moving stuff that was not hers and asked her to forgive me.
edit: spelling

I was just told by a close friend I was being toxic and lost that person. I was given the signs before and never realized that they were bad until they told me a second time and blocked me. I was needy. Never left them alone when they needed a break. Second guessed their decisions and always wanted to be heard by others. The friend gave me a once and a life time opportunity and more friends to talk to and I made everyone uncomfortable. In the end I thought that they were the toxic ones not listening to me, when it was the other way around and I feel downright awful about it. I realized and I'm admitting too late that I'm toxic. I'm hoping I can apologize to them to tell them that yeah they were right, hoping that if we ever cross paths again that things can be different

This reminds me of my former friend, Katrina. She's needy and extremely controlling, she also pins the blame on my other friend, Mhajo (not her real name, just a nickname but Katrina is my toxic ex-friend's real name) and Mhajo always always talks about herself which I find really annoying, for example we were on topic about something and then she suddenly says something about her that's why sometimes I ask her, girl why do you make everything about yourself (or her crush) when the topic is not about you. Really annoying but she's ok, I just hate that side of her, Katrina on the other hand I am never going to speak for her again.

Sometimes, when my friends and I try to decide something, I can always come up with a plan or two because I'm one year older and can give us a ride. Because of this, they kinda depend on me on everything. It annoys me that it's always my decision and not theirs. Makes me feel that I'm pushing them to do things the way I want. When they come up with a plan, I have a habit of asking them filler questions about if I see something missing, like a place to sleep or the route to take. And in the end, I'm asked to make the whole plan just because I wanted things to be clear so we won't run into big problems. Am I the toxic one.

Is it possible for 2 people to be toxic friends to each other? I noticed that I subconsciously give unsolicited advice. I had to evaluate & start asking my loved ones Is this something you want me to listen to, or something you want advice on?
And how can I address a possibly toxic friend? Theyre neurodivergent & Im really afraid of hurting their feelings, no matter how I bring this up. I feel like it might come across as aggressive, even though thats not my intentions.

I just discussed in therapy about how I realize I put people on a pedestool when i first meet them and when they dont fit the image I have in my mind of them I immediatley become toxic slowly. Im aware Im toxic, painfully self aware, and its hard to unlearn. But the fact we try means we are already doing better. I grew up learning toxic traits and its my fault I didnt take the time to unlearn them before. I just wish I didnt hurt as many people as I have.

I have a friend who I was really close with and I want to keep being close to her because she is the only person I consider being a best best bestie of mine. But lately, I think I'm growing jealous of her relationship with other people who I think make her happier (I think i might have an inferiority complex who knows) and these days, I just find it hard to converse with her for a long period of time. What should I do? Should I talk this over with her?
reply

I just ended a toxic friendship a few days ago. She always told me I was the problem and I've been struggling for the past few months because I felt like I treated her wrong. Seeing this and realizing that this is exactly how she treats me really helped me calm down from my panic attack right now. I know that I have my faults but she always told me that I'm an awful friend

I've been so inconsiderate to my friends. I thought they were being rude leaving me alone all the time until i found out that ive been rude to them for months and that they were worried about me doing it more. Then my other friend also confessed i make her uncomfortable. I didnt realise what an asshole i am. I'm gonna try and change starting now
reply

Came into this wanting to be the best friend I can be and making sure I wasnt subconsciously toxic without my knowing. Came out realizing almost all of these fit my best friends I genuinely thought it might be my problem and thats why I watched this, Im just realizing it might not be. Now I feel like Im not taking enough self accountability
reply

Can I tell you all a story
That i I had a relationship with a boy and my best friend doesn't like that when I annouce her that I got a boy friend and she was crying and angry to me that day the next day she says sorry I had a crush on him so I just let it go and when i'm with my love of my love I doesn't feel good in my gut.

I've not been getting along with my 5-6 year long friend for the last couple of days and I find myself asking if I'm being toxic. I don't think I matched with any of the points here but when I consider my friend's behaviour I think he matched with 3 of them. Is this me just being not able to accept my mistakes?
reply

My best friend who I've known since primary school 10 years ago no longer wants to be friends with me. I looked this up in desperation, and I'm partially some of these, and definitely others. I don't know what to do right now, because I fear it's too late, I'm worried she won't will no longer speak to me
reply

Shit, honestly I haven't watched the video yet but I searched it cause I've been feeling Ike a shitty friend lately. I mean I talk behind their back without realizing, and get mad for no reason at all. The fact is though I really do care about them and I want to stop being toxic but idk
reply

I should of watched this before, I used to always asked for a water bottle, everytime they do something I don't do I get kind of mad, I always joke around by threatening them, I guess doing all this made them all come together and say that I was weird and made them uncomfortable
reply

The constant sharing about myself instead of my friend is a habit for me that apparently strains friendships. I am even at high risk of losing them because of it now I know I may become toxic myself when I am genuinely a nice person
reply

I can definitely give unsolicited advice, more because I'm the type who hates hearing how bad things are, but they do nothing to fix it. I am at fault for that for sure. I hope I can apologize to those I hurt in that way
reply

I guess i am not happy for others successes, there are some people who i would be happy for almost anything they achieved, but it stabs my ego when my friend does something i would need insane dedication to do
reply

this really helped me. i'm in a bit of a dark spot right now, and this genuinely helped me so so much with knowing i dont absolutely suck. this video is damn magnificent and i love that it was made.
reply

I felt like I didn't wanna communicate with one of my friends anymore and thought that I was toxic. By watching this video I understood that this friend of mine is actually toxic by herself not me.
reply

Me and my friend talks like
Me: hey you look like a clown! LOL!
Them: You look like an ugly dog!
Me: Dont insult dogs like that!
We just like messing with eachother like always!

reply

Me and my friend both have these signs
I wish our friendship becomes healthy instead of becoming toxic
I want to improve myself. for what's happening right with a close friend of mine

reply

I watch this video and I figured out that I am a toxic friend so I block my friend and rn I am crying how I miss them all ready and I block them bc I want them to have a great time without me
