kinda serious question here cuz i have had this problem since i was a little girl and still need advice on it.
how do you deal with toxic friendships? like you want to stay their friend cuz of specific reasons but then sometimes they just make you seem like a bad person, how do you deal with people like that? and how can i not get as anxious over it?
hope everyone is having a good day today :)

I think the main thing is to keep yourself at a safe distance. That way, you won't get hurt as often, and it will be easier to protect yourself. Know your limits, and don't be afraid to tell your friend if they cross a boundary.
thank you for the advice :)
I've had friendships like this and still do. My best advice is to keep some space between yourself and this person. Both emotional space, and physical as well. Keep being friends but try to not rely on them, and understand that you might need to back away sometimes. Does that make sense?
it makes a lot of sense, thanks for the advice :))
Boundaries.
Don't let them talk you down. Don't let them take all your time. Don't let them have a say in what you do with your own life. Don't be too vulnerable with them or give them any information they could easily use against you if blackmailing is a problem (but also don't lie cuz honesty is important).
It's good that you acknowledge they're toxic 👍
Good luck, hope you're having a good day too
thank you for the advice :)
