Best friends are sacred beings. They're the people we confide in when times are rough, plot future schemes and adventures with, and enjoy life alongside. They are treasures both in everyday life and in our hearts. But whether you've known them your entire life or met them recently in high school, there comes a time when you need to let them go. Here are nine signs that it is time to let the friendship go.

1. They're green with envy

Whatever the situation, they're always jealous of what you have. No matter what it is. New shoes? New car? New boo? They are bitter and seething envy. It is completely unbecoming of them and a major deal breaker.

2. Their attitude is "me-me-me!"

Everything is always about them. Even if a conversation begins with a problem you are having, they have a way of spinning it and making it about them. Having a bad day? Wow, they are too! Parents fighting? Sucks... So are theirs. Boy - or girl - trouble? What a shame... They do not have a care in the world. That is, unless it's about them.

3. You're a last resort

You're the person they conveniently turn to when A) their boyfriend is out of town, B) their "other friends" are busy, and/or C) it is an event they want to do, but no one else will. They expect you to hang out with them, but only if no one else is available.

4. They're never happy for you

You could score an A on an exam, nail that interview for that amazing job, or get into the university program of your dreams and it would not matter to them. Unless is influences them positively, forget about it.

5. Everything is a competition

This goes hand-in-hand with #1! Not only are they jealous of what you have, but they suddenly need to go get something classified as "better." It never seems to end.

6. They're a negative nancy

No matter what mood you are in, they always find a way to bring you down. Whether it is by guilt tripping you, bringing up painful memories, or turning the attention to something glum, they always find a way to sink their claws in and ruin your mood. The negativity doesn't stop with you. They are also guilty of bad-mouthing other people mercilessly.

7. They critique everything

Nothing you do is right. Nothing you do is how they would of done it. You are made to feel like you can do nothing right and what you do correctly is not correct enough.

8. There is always drama

Why must every waking moment be a daytime sitcom? Why must you always point out other people's insecurities? Why can't they just be a nice, civil person? Who knows.

9. They are your "only friend"

This is by far the biggest and baddest deal breaker of them all. If they have an issue with your other friends, then get out! If they are jealous of you spending time with other people, get out! If they act like you are only allowed to spend time with them, run! And most importantly, if they ever guilt trip you by acting like you "rank" your friends, just delete their number right then and there. It'll save you a lot of trouble, I guarantee it.

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.
