There are quite a few signs you can look out for to tell you whether or not a friendship isn't healthy, Neo told Business Insider.
"In a novel conversation between people, you can say this thing happened to me too, which is OK because that's where empathy happens, and you form a connection," Neo said. "But then with a toxic person, everything revolves around them. They'll twist it." "They want to compete with you, even if you're not competing with them," Neo said. "Even if you're in a completely different field, they want the same things you do."The competition can go one step further, and a toxic person will start to mimic you. They might buy the same bag you bought the week before, or start using the same slang words as you.
"They want all your time, so it's a very codependent kind of friendship," she said. "So they'll text you all the time and expect a reply. Even if you say I'm going to be really busy over the next six hours, they'll text you just before, and throughout. And if you don't reply, they will kick up a storm."A toxic person will probably start to blame your other friends when you don't respond to their texts and calls.
I see people use the word 'toxic' so much lately, it's toxic.
