Is Your Best Friend Actually Toxic?
She never takes responsibility for her actions
Speaking of not looking for the lessons in mistakes, your toxic friend is somehow never wrong. If her boss fires her for not doing her work, all she can say is that her boss is just cranky because she hasn’t been laid in a while. It doesn’t cross her mind that maybe she should have just done her work.
She causes you to impulse buy
You find yourself making large purchases you shouldn’t around this friend. But she tells you that you need that $500 jacket for this or that reason, and that the designer chair is an “investment.” (An investment in what? Certainly not in a Roth IRA, stock or bond.)
