5 Types Of Friends You Don't Need In Your Life

Friendships come with people in all shapes, sizes, and those who don't understand friendship.

1. The Friend Who Puts In Little To No Effort.

Nothing is worse than being in a one-way friendship. What is a one-way friendship you may ask? It's when you are the only one putting effort into the friendship. You're the one who reaches out by calling or texting and basically the one who makes the plans to hang out. If it wasn't for you reaching out, that person would be MIA. It gets tiring chasing after a friend who shows little effort. It proves how they feel towards your friendship with them.

2.The One Who Always Puts You Down.

If you are like me, I am my own worst critic and can be so hard on myself sometimes. So when it comes to a friend constantly putting you down instead of uplifting you, it makes matters worse. It's horrible having a friend who praises your flaws in a bad way. They like making you feel horrible about yourself just so they can feel better themselves. If you have a friend like this, it's time to let them go and find friends who are more positive towards your life.

3. The Judgmental Friend.

We, unfortunately, live in a world that can be extremely judgmental at times. Sadly, sometimes that judgment comes from our closest friends. You would think that when something goes wrong or a mistake is made, a friend would be there for you. But I'm not going to lie, that isn't always the case. I had a best friend once who I told everything to and when I spoke to them about an issue I was dealing with in my personal life, they blatantly told me, "I'm about to unfriend you for that". That's the moment I realized that she was not a friend I needed because of how quickly she judged me instead of comforting me.

4. The One Who's Only Your Friend When She Is Single

We all despise those girls who, when they're single, it's all about friends and enjoying life. But when it comes to them being in a relationship, you never see them. There is nothing wrong with being fully committed to your relationship. Just don't drop and forget your friends who were there for you during your single days. If the relationship doesn't last, do you expect your friends to be there when you suddenly dropped them for a guy?

5. The One's Who Make Everything A Competition.

I have seen many friendships in this kind of situation. Friendship is not a competition. If the friendship is genuine and pure, there shouldn't be a need to always one up your friend. Just because your friend has something you want or like, doesn't mean you go out and get something even better to prove to her that you're better. That's not friendship.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
