~ One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

That's a quote from Lucius and it's actually true. True friendship entails getting to know and understand the other person. There are some people who do not qualify to be called friends.  They should be avoided at all cost because, instead of planning for your good, they are planning or anticipating your downfall. Some of them are:

• Toxic Friends: These type of friends are so full of negativity and they drag you into it. They complain about every single thing in their lives to you. They only see the negative, bad side of things and they do not see any good thing happening around them. They will talk you into seeing only negativity with them. These kind of people should be avoided.
• Selfish Friends: These type of friends are all about themselves and nothing or no one else. They see good opportunities and they keep it to themselves instead of sharing the information with you. Even though they claim to be friends with you, they are more concerned about themselves than about you.
• Gossip Friends: If all he/she does when they're with you is gossip about someone else, then they're gossip friends. And just the way they tell you about someone else, in the same vein, they will go about telling others about you. Cut them off immediately.
• Spendthrift: These type of friends do not care about saving for the future whatsoever. They spend carelessly and as they earn. They see a new clothing, a new shoe, bag and material things and want to buy immediately. Without minding if it cost too much or if they even have to ask you to lend them. They are always attracted to material things and they can subtly lure you into that kind of lifestyle.

You should avoid these kind of friends by all means and if possible, cut all forms of communication with them.

Cheers
