Friends are the most important part of your life. They console you, cheer you up and are always there when you need them. You love them but what are you supposed to do if there are a few people who call themselves your friends but they constantly give you negativity. Though we always need someone to share our feelings but instead of being with toxic friends, it's better to be alone.

Here are five traits in a friend that you should pay attention to:

They constantly demotivate you in order to prove that they are superior to you. We all know that friends try to keep you grounded but if they are not understanding that they are hurting you then it's time you should think about your friendship.

If your friends are toxic, they will try to control your actions. They will also start entering your personal life and will even tell you who to date.

They say rude things to you in public in order to pull you down. They might are insecure with the attention you get and when you try to tell them that they are doing wrong, all they say is learn to take jokes.

We make friends because they don't judge us but there are a few who criticise and judge you for everything you do. You don't count their name when you make a list of trustworthy friends.
