  • Oh, hey! Check out these letters I found in my attic.

  • "My dear friend, Angela, it was a wonderful season at Lakesbury."

  • "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have recently come to hear that you and Mr. Heathrow are engaged."

  • "I did not take you for such a conniving, merciless bitch."

  • "I hope you trip on your petticoat, you snake of a woman."

  • Yeesh. Sounds like a toxic friendship.

  • Everyone in their life has somebody that they need to ditch.

  • Here are just a few.

  • The Shit-Talker.

  • This person talks about everyone behind their backs.

  • I mean, she's nice and all, but what's with that hair?

  • Looks like a crow stuck in a bush.

  • Wanna get fro-yo?

  • If they're talking junk about everybody else, they're probably giving you the same treatment.

  • Also, it's just rude as heck to talk about people when they're not around.

  • What are you, 10? Oh. You are.

  • That's nice.

  • You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, which is why I have so many open jars of honey.

  • I'm gonna have so many flies.

  • Then there's The Flake.

  • This person can never commit to plans, and when they do, they often cancel at the last second, or, are just super late.

  • I'm a little tired actually, but let's hang next time?

  • Okay, cool.

  • All right, hello? I'm so in.

  • All right, cool. See you there. Bye.

  • If they're not willing to commit to plans with you, then they don't care about you that much.

  • The truth is hard to hear, especially if you're wearing earmuffs, so take those off. They look so dumb.

  • What's next?

  • Jennifer. Jennifer.

  • Yeah, where are we?

  • We are... right here.

  • Oh. Okay, great, yeah.

  • Okay, you can leave. Get out of here.

  • The Critic.

  • You really gonna eat those?

  • Hey!

  • Ugh, I hate this song.

  • Ew! Why is your couch so gross?

  • Because I like to eat pudding in comfort, okay?

  • It's totally fine if your pals don't share your interests.

  • I mean, I'm on a swim team and I can't swim.

  • But, to openly tell someone that the thing they like is boring or dumb, is the trait of a bad friend.

  • If you think any of your friends are worth holding onto, talk to them about the things they do that make you uncomfortable.

  • Sometimes, you just have to let go of people, which is hard.

  • A) because change is terrifying, and, B) because making new friends can be scary as hell.

  • But what's better?

  • Feeling unstable and insecure in toxic friendships, or spending a little time alone?

  • Squad goals should be about building each other up, not knocking each other down,

  • and if you think you might be one of these friends, take a long, hard look at your choices.

  • Navigating the rough seas of friendship is hard, because humans are crazy weirdos with no sense.

  • So, bring a map and a compass, and don't go to the old shipyard.

  • You won't like what you'll find.

Oh, hey! Check out these letters I found in my attic.
