For whatever reason our generation glamorizes "cutting people off." We're entitled, we expect way too much from people all to often. I personally am not one to cut people off, I accept them for who they are, with the exception of the people who are truly toxic. If while reading this you start to make connections with your own social circle, then you may have some thinking to do.

1.The liar

We're humans, we all tell lies sometimes. People lie for different reasons, whether its to protect themselves or someone close to them. However, if you have someone in your life who consistently lies to you to hurt you or avoid you, then you need to rethink your relationship with them. Everyone tells white lies sometimes, but to construct an entire narrative in their favor is down right dysfunctional.

2. The manipulator

"If you love me you will___", or, "I have been your friend longer than___, why can't you just be with me?" This person can be charming, pretending to care about you and love you, but only in their favor. This person wants to be your number one priority, but it doesn't work both ways. Manipulative people only think of themselves, not the people around them. You should enjoy the people around you, not resent them.

3. The pretentious one

You do not need someone in your life that acts like they are above you and the people around you. No matter how successful they are, they have no right to look down on others. Sure, everyone can act pretentious, we all have our bad moments. However, if you would describe someone in your life as pretentious before you would describe them as kind, then you're better off without them.

4. The one who only takes

"Can you do me a favor?" probably rings in your ears when you're in this person's company. This person expects the world from you, but never does anything for you in return. This person probably calls you crying often, but if you shoot them a text telling them you had a bad day, they'll probably leave you on read.

5. The possessive one

We all have one person we're especially close with. This person cannot understand that you have other people in your life that you love. They will often accuse the people around you of "stealing their friend." They will act completely juvenile when you're with other people, purely because they are jealousy.

6. The control freak

There's nothing wrong with being particular, but to need to constantly be in control of every given situation is unhealthy. They can never go with the flow, everything has to be their way. More often than not, this person will act passive aggressive if things are not done their way. You should not have to make yourself uncomfortable in order to make someone else feel satisfied.

7. The destructive one

We all go through destructive phases and that's okay. However, you do not need someone who is genuinely destructive in your life. This person makes poor decisions repeatedly, promising you that it will stop, but it never does. They may even drag you in to their destructive path, but you need to get out. No matter how much you adore this person, their poor life decisions should not jeopardize your happiness.

8. The critic

There is a distinct difference between constructive critic and verbal abuse. This person will make you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. They'll belittle your progress, call you names, and always ask, "is that it?" You do not need someone like this. It's not "harmless teasing" its unnecessary criticism.

9. The follower

This person does not have a backbone. Their opinions are solely based off of their peers. You do not want someone who follows what's popular. You need someone who will leave their comfort zone, defend you if need be and stick buy your side regardless of any situation.

10. The chameleon

This poor, lost soul cannot stand on their own. They are the type of person to walk, talk and act like whoever is around them. They would be willing to stop being friends with you just because you don't fit in to their friend group of the month.This person has a new social identity every couple months. They've been too many people's best friend, but have no lasting friendships.
