Toxic behaviour

I had to end a friendship with a woman I knew since school as she has zero respect for me. While I know I did the right thing to end the friendship some of the things she did stick in my mind.

If she didn’t agree with your hobby she was insult and put it down and she full well knew it was a big part of your life. She also did this to her partner and would insult him in front of everyone and he just took it. Looking back he could either be a victim if domestic abuse or not want an argument in public.

She would insult your view if you had a different opinion. One summer I was struggling to breathe and the 3rd occasion she was mocking and putting this stupid accent on saying “I can’t breathe”. I rarely complained about my health so for me to say something it was bad. It turned out I had an anaemia deficiency cause the shortness of breath but the heat made it worse. Absolutely no empathy off her.

She has fallen out with loads of people but tells people she is the victim when everyone moves on without her. Why on earth is she friends with people if all she wants to do is put them down? I wouldn’t hang out with people I didn’t like.

She knows what she is doing as people have called her out and she promises to not do it again but then slips back into her old ways.

I had a friend like this and I cut her out of my life. The very fact that you are taking the time to write about her on here says that she needs to go. People like this drain the life out of you, make you anxious about what they will say and what you would say. Don't feel bad about this. Life is too precious to surround yourself with negative people.
