Do you have a best friend? Real friendships are ones that make you feel happy, safe, and secure. True friends are so rare and special that when we do have them, we can’t help but wish it would last forever. Having good friends like this can be one of the greatest pleasures in life, so it can be devastating for us to lose our friends. Saying goodbye to best friends is heartbreaking, but trying to salvage a friendship that’s not meant to last does more harm than good. Do you suspect that you have toxic friends? Toxic friendships can be hard to spot, but hopefully this video can help you shed some light on how to end a friendship. Bad friends can be very toxic for your mental well being.
