Kinds Of Friends We Need To Unfriend



God gave us friends so we can have someone to talk, laugh, and smile with as well as have a shoulder to cry on. No one wants to be alone that's why we need friends beside us to inspire us, make us happy, and make our life worth living for.

As we grow older and as we explore many different things and places, we encounter a lot of people and end up finding some of them who we share same thoughts and become our friends. 

In reality there are two kinds of friends, the good friends who are for keeps, and bad friends who we should avoid. If we want to take the right path in life, we should be able to choose the right kind of friends that will give us no harm. In case we get to meet new friends, we should be very careful who we're going to trust.

Through time, we are surely going to notice that some of our friends are behaving indifferently. Most probably, it seems that we don't agree with them anymore on things we used to be very okay with. Also, time will come we're going to feel they are just being friends with us for their own advantage. 

In case we started feeling that there is a gap and several misunderstandings with some of our friends, then its time to reject them in our lives.

Now here are the kinds of friends we should UNFRIEND since they are no longer good for keeps.

1. Friends who doesn't know how to say "Thank You" and "Sorry"

Saying "Thank You" is very important every time we do something for our friends because it's one simple way to say we are being acknowledge. Likewise saying "Sorry" when necessary is essential to keep the friendship in good terms.

2. Friends who takes advantage and doesn't know to give back

Friendship should be a give and take relationship. Although they say it's better to give than to receive, no friend will like to be a giver all the time especially if his/her efforts are not well appreciated.

3. Friends who are inconsistent and dishonest

Once we start to notice that our friends are treating us differently and starting to tell a lot of lies, then it's time to think if they're still worth keeping for. It's not a good idea at all to remain friends with someone and tolerate him/her being a liar.

4. Friends who are back-fighters

Little misunderstandings are always present especially if we have lots of friends. However, whatever mistakes we did to our friend, we should learn to say sorry and know how to forgive them if they did something wrong to us. But once we figure out that our friend who we had a conflict with has told other people untrue stories about us, then we should not remain friends with him/her anymore. This is what we should also do if we have friends who asked helped from us but due to some reasons we were not able to lend a hand to them. And instead of telling us it's okay with them, what they do is say bad things about us.

5. Friends who will put us down and are faultfinders

Our friends are actually there for us to be like our family who will tell us frankly what's good and what's bad about us but still accept us for what we are. They should be among the persons who will help us in developing more of our self-esteem and encourage us on things that we do. But if there are some of our friends who often puts us down, overly gives critical comments, and make fun of us, then they're not worthy to remain our friends. 

6. Friends who are bad influence and are risk takers

We are old and mature enough to know and identify friends who are good influence and bad influence to us. If our friends turn out to be a lot different from the way they are used to be like they've started to become alcoholic, and experimenting on drugs, then it's time to go separate ways with them because they will only cause us into a big trouble. Yet, as a friend we can always help them get out of whatever wrong doings including addictions they have as long as they help themselves too.

I hope these things will help you identify the friends who you should dumped since they are not worthy of your love as a friend.
