How To Deal With Selfish, Self Centered Friends

Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by friends who are only interested in making things better for themselves at any cost.
I have had such friends, and honestly, it sucks.

• Real friendship means foregoing some pleasures just for your friend, 
• Going extra miles for your dear friend
• being mindful of your friends' feelings
• Reciprocating tenderly the same kind of love and care that is being shown to you.

Most times, selfish friends will stick closer to you when they need something to you and distance themselves when things get better fro them, leaving you "the faithful friend" out in the dark and alone.

Here are some characters of a selfish friend to look out for;

1. They only want to talk about them
2. They cannot help you if there is no catch
3. They are very close to you when you have something that interests them
4. They pretend to care about you
5. They do not reciprocate that which you offer to them in equal measures
6. They are sometimes warm and sometimes cold towards you depending on how well their needs have been met
7. They only want to talk about those things that will feed their ego
8. They are not there when you need them most.

If you have such a friend, know that you deserve better.
Please just dump them and explain to them why they cannot continue being your friend, because being in a such a relationship is toxic and will leave you feeling frustrated, drained and feeling used.

What real friends are meant to do;

• Be there for each other
• Correct each other bluntly
• Be honest with each other
• Be real to each other and not wear masks
• Help each other in times of need
• Have a symbiotic kind of relationship and not a parasitic kind of relationship.

I know this is quite short but this is all you need to do know about dealing with selfish and self centred individuals.

you deserve better and let's create fulfilling relationships with truth and honesty as the foundation.
