Toxic friends can badly impact our mental health and over all being. There are a few things that we need to keep in mind in order to recognise healthy friendships.

A good friend always respects boundaries. They understand when you are not available and will wait till you are in a position to talk about it to them. They respect your life decisions and do not force you to be the person you are not.

With true friends, sharing information, bad or good, feels easier. If you feel happy and safe sharing information, you should know you have earned a quality friend

A true friend is one who feels proud of your and your success. If they feel otherwise, they are not your real friends.

With real friends, you don't need to pretend like someone you are not. You know you can be yourself with them and they will love you for that.

Friends who mock or ridicule you in a way that hurts them aren't your real friends. Those who make fun of you behind your back aren't your friends. Remember, a true friend is always honest with you but at the same time cares about your feelings.
