We previously made a video on types of friends, and one of them was rare, and many of you loved it! However, not all friendships are healthy, and some can be downright harmful.
In this video, we’re breaking down six types of toxic friends you need to watch out for, especially #4, which can be the most dangerous. The goal of this video is to help you recognize these red flags so that you can help you set better boundaries and protect your peace.
