7 Types of Friends you Need to Break up with

By Zariah Palmer
Through the course of our lives many people will come and go. Not one person is permanently there, at the end of the day it is fri(end). Not to say that all friendships with people have to come to a tragic standoff. Though, there are a few friends that you need to just let go of. These people are mentally draining and do not have your best interests at heart. You can’t change them, but you sure can cut them off and focus your energy in other places.
If a person tries to isolate themselves with only you, does not like you to have other friends and they try to have control over aspects of your life. This person is called the possessive, insecure and jealous friend. The financially draining friend, who never ever has money. They claim every time that they’ll pay you back or that they will cover it the next time and they never do. One other type of friend you should cut out of your life is the friend who begs for all of your support but never gives any back. They are selfish and very inconsiderate to you whenever you may need or want support.
A person who tries to imitate everything that you do and can’t be original, is called a “copycat pal” but they are just stealing your clout. They can dress just like you, change their dialect to yours and even start to want to be you. The friend who never owns up to their own faults. This person tries to avoid and deflect any and all fingers pointing their way when accused of something. When a friend talks bad about you, to and away from your face they are the two-faced friend. This person can be friends with people who don’t like you or talk down on you. Also, if a person constantly makes plans and never invites you they are a convenient friend. They don’t actually enjoy you, you just have something they want or need.
Seeing as how people do come constantly in and out of our lives. Sometimes it’s a relief to take a step back and evaluate the types of people we are surrounding ourselves with. Also, to remove the unstable people from our lives allowing us to have moments to focus on other positive things in life.
