Most of us have no problem identifying toxic people in our circles, but when we’re the problem we’re usually the last to know. In a relationship, a partner is usually quick to check bad behavior — or their displeasure with you will be so obvious the issue will have to be addressed. But when it comes to friendships, the dissolution usually starts with a slow drift. In fact, your girls may never confront you about their feelings, you’ll just look up one day and realize you haven’t spoken to so and so in six months and wonder what went wrong.
If you didn’t intentionally cut your former friends off, then perhaps it’s your actions that caused the schism. In other words, you’re a bad friend and no one wants to be bothered with you anymore. Worried that might be the case? See if you fit any of these signs.
