[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Why are you friends with someone who is intentionally mean to others? What’s going on with your own self-esteem that you need to have someone like this as a friend? [/quote]

I can’t speak for OP, but Ive been friendly with people at work and in the neighborhood, and not realized for months - in same cases years - that they were mean. Mean girls can be charming and outgoing and in my case, I didnt realize it until I was already entwined. People who are just openly mean and rude all the time are easier to spot. The ones who are nice at first and hide the ugly for awhile - harder to see and then harder to get away from. [/quote]

OP here. this is my experience too. I haven’t made any effort since recognizing this. She actually did realize I backed off and asked to talk to me about it. I basically said I can’t have friends like this and need my friends to be no drama or I didn’t have time for it. It lasted a little while but I see that it will continue to be an issue. I think she just can’t help herself and if I had to guess she has always had issues with female friendships. [/quote]

The ones who always have issues with other women are toxic. Look around at the people who always say they dislike someone in the group. Spoiler : it’s them.[/quote]
