Whether you realize it or not the people you allow in your life make a difference in how things play out for you. If you have a group of unsupportive people by your side, you’re going to struggle more than others. 

Sure, you might have been friends with someone for as long as you can remember but that doesn’t mean the friendship you have is one that should be kept. Sometimes we allow those too close who wish to do nothing but hurt us or use us and in the end, it bites us in the tush. Stop feeding into relationships and connections that aren’t doing the same in return and then see where you’re left and who actually sticks around. 

Below I am going to go over a few different kinds of friends that I’ve noticed in the lives of those around me that shouldn’t be where they are. While you might want to keep this person around, they’re not doing anything good for you or your life. At the end of the day, when someone brings us down we shouldn’t keep letting them do the same things over and over but yet, so many do. 

 6 Types Of Friends You Do Not Need In Your Life:

1. The Doubters

These people doubt everything you do and always try to throw you off. Everything you say you want to do or try they shut down and make you feel as if you’re not capable. These kinds of friends will hold you back and make you not want to try new things.

2. The Complainers

These people are the ones who complain about everything. Nothing is ever good enough for them and they’re always acting like they’re better than everyone else. They are never content and when you think there isn’t anything else to complain about, they find something. People like this will rub off on you and have you doing similar things if you allow them too close.

3. The Flakers

These people are the ones who never show up when they say they’re going to. They’re always late or blowing you off. Unless you’re waiting on them hand and foot they don’t really want to be around you. These people ride opportunities and well, if you’re not doing what they want, they don’t bother coming around.

4. The Braggers

These people brag all the time. Sure, bragging a bit here and there is fine but these people never shut up about the things they’re doing or where they are in life. They beat others down to feel better overall about themselves and well, that’s not okay.

5. The Time-Wasters

These people are some of the worst. They make you do things only to come back later and say they’ve already done those things. They waste your time and your efforts over and over again. This is because they don’t value you in any sense of the word. These people will run you ragged if you allow them to and all without reason.

6. The Users

These people might try to pretend to care about you and need you but the truth is they’re just using you. They never contribute anything to the friendship and yet you’re always doing everything you can for them. It’s like they don’t care about you and yet you care far more for them than anyone else.
