4 Signs That You May Be Friends With A Hater
By: Alyssa Cole
Have you ever wondered if one of your friends really had your best interest at heart? Sometimes we grow away from the circles that we originally grew up within and it's okay for some changes to occur because as you get older your interests and values may change. Have you been wondering lately however, if somebody that you've been calling a friend truly is one? Here are 4 signs that you may be friends with a hater!
1. They try to compete with you.
Are they trying to constantly one-up you with everything that you do? Whether it be a job, a degree, or something you may have bought? Friends may have friendly competitions from time to time, but if you’re noticing that someone is constantly trying to be better than you only for the purpose of announcing that they did something better, you should really ask yourself if this person is a real friend.
2. They always disagree with you.
Now I get it, everybody has those days where they may get into a disagreement with their friends, but have you noticed that every time you express your thoughts on something, they just have to disagree with everything that you say? How common is that?! Not very common! A friend is someone that you may have different views with, but should not be someone that you are constantly finding yourself disagreeing and getting into arguments with.
3. They never give you compliments.
Have you ever noticed that when you go out together they never compliment you about how you look, but you are constantly giving them a compliment? It's very unusual don't you think that someone that is close with you never lets you know that they think that you look nice? What's worse is if you find them questioning why you wore something or what made you choose something in particular instead of something they may have liked. Yes, we all have our own sense of style, but your friends should have a general idea of how you are, what type of look you go for, and typically let you know that you look nice from time to time, even if the look may not be their ideal one!
4. They never seem happy for your achievements.
Real friends will let you know how proud they are of you whether it be because you graduated, passed a test, or maybe even landed the job you always wanted! Do they tend to downplay your accomplishments ? Do they say congratulations but then add a negative comment at the end? Do they simply just ignore the achievement completely and act like it never happened? Not good! Your friends should recognize and be happy for your achievements especially when it contributes to your overall growth and well being. A friendship is a give and take relationship and show always be treated as such.
