Hi there welcome to youwillbeokpodcast today’s episode is episode one actually so the first real episode and I am very excited to talk to you all today because today’s episode is called episode 1 friendships and as a matter of fact yesterday I got in a fight with my best friend and well she had been my best friend since the beginning of the school year and I just moved here but she wanted to become best friends with a girl who eavesdropped and spied on our other friend and to me that was an invasion of privacy to spy on another one of our friends and then she stood with the girl who spied on our friend saying she didn’t do anything wrong but if that happened to her then I know she would have thrown a fit over her privacy so I thought it was very unfair and that is called being a toxic friend. Now how to identify a toxic friend? Well, here are some key things that a toxic friend does that a true friend does not do. 1. They need something from you. All the time. Like, they want some water or makeup or perfume or a pencil or a hair tie the possibilities are practically limitless. But when you ask for something? Well suddenly “How dare you ask me for this” “This is mine” “Don’t you have one?” “Go ask someone else” and other toxic responses. If you share, they should as well and they will always be taking from you which leads us to number 2. 2. is they always take from you and aren’t there to help you when you need the help. Friends should always be there for you no matter what and ghosting you is not true friend behavior. 3. they don’t know your boundaries or even worse they don’t care. True friends should always respect your boundaries even if it means they don’t get to do something with you that they wanted to. 4. they are never happy for you especially when you get something that you wanted. My friends actually so we were doing an assignment for English and we were painting so that we could represent a theme in one of the two poems that we looked at but I made mine and I was so proud of it I thought it looked so good but when I showed it to my friends then they just wanted to show me theirs and didn’t care about mine. It’s disrespectful and uncaring. 5. they bring lots of drama. Sure normal friends bring drama sometimes but all the time is a red flag. 6. They exclude people from parties or sleepovers and other stuff. Friends should be including not excluding. They should always invite you to things and never exclude you from anything. That isn’t right at all. That's all for today and I just realized that all my friends are toxic but I hope yours aren’t. I hope you have a lovely day and I love you all!
