3. They Are Dustbins
Dustbins never give, it receives always. They ask a whole lot of things from you but would find it difficult to share their things with you. You should remind yourself that it is not that these people don’t have it, but they won’t just give to you. Deep inside you, you could tell that they are not offering anything to you.
You will get to know when they have never share opportunities with you despite their (firsthand) knowledge about it.
4. They Ghost When It’s Your Show
You would always come to their aid and be present when they need you. But it is always the other way round when you need their helping hands. More than once, they have been coming to you with excuses in attempt to tell you why they fell short of the expectations you had from them based on the agreement you both had.
Deep down, they are not really fascinating with your records of success, if it is within their reach to slow your processes and progresses, then they will gladly do so; this explains one of the reason they ghost on you when it’s about show time. There will always be emergencies that need them anytime it is your turn.
5. They Are On and Off
When things are going just as they want it, they don’t need you around them and would keep away. Perhaps they don’t want you to know things are now rosy for them, but then they will remember you when they hit a bump.
Sometimes, you will observe that they keep distance away from you (without reasons or with flimsy reasons) at will. Then in a blink, you see them swarming back into your environment.
6. They Pick Offence Easily
They are easily offended, and would not even let the slightest provocation to slide. Most times, they get angry at what they should not be angry at – much more to the dismay of your other friends. You will know they are narcissistic to you when you observe that they don’t spare you while they spare others even when the wrongdoing is the same.
You are not an angel, every man in their natural state make mistakes, and you are not an exception. If they take special interest in condemning you always and do not spare anything you do. Then you are a friend to a toxic individual.
7. They Backbite
They are your friends and would still not hesitate to air spread your dirty linen/weakness to a third part or total stranger. This is one way to make fun of you in your absence. Slander is evil; slandering is rendering a false or unsupported, malicious statement especially one which is injurious to a person’s reputation.
Toxic and narcissistic friends will do this to defame you and make you ordinary before your admirers or co-toxic people.
8. They Are ‘I’ Personified
All what they see is themselves, and not you. They are selfish and would not care about you. They hardly say “sorry” because they don’t care hurting you; they don’t know when you are hurt or bleeding.
They practice self-love to a fault and always put themselves first, others don’t really matter. They really don’t care, it will be so obvious that this is who they are.
