She is not your friend

When I think of an abusive relationship, I think of a romantic relationship. But you can have an abusive relationship with a friend too! Friends can verbally and mentally abuse you the same way that your significant other can. They can tear you down just to ensure you will never have the courage to part with them. They can make you feel like they're the most amazing friend and there's no one else will ever be as good of a friend as them.

If she never has anything nice to say about the way you dress, your hair, makeup, or anything about you. If she makes fun of your weight, either calling you too large or too skinny. If she makes you feel as though your ass or even boobs are too large or too small. She is NOT your friend.

If she makes you feel like your boyfriend/husband is unattractive or beneath you, If she belittles you so that you are afraid to take a chance or pursue a dream. If she tells everyone your business and secrets. She is NOT your friend.

If she listen only to speak. If she acts like she is better than you because she has more money, a nicer house and car, or a better job. If she critiques you in order to make you feel self conscious. She is NOT your friend.

If she consistently ignores your texts and calls. If she can never make time to spend with you or keep the plans you make. She is NOT your friend.

Women (most women at least) won't allow a man to belittle them or treat them like crap, but some woman allow their friends to treat them like garbage. A good friend wouldn't say something that is going to hurt your feelings (unless they're telling you that your boyfriend is cheating or something along those lines). Your friends should lift you up when you are feeling low and always have your best interest in mind.

Know when to walk away and cut ties with someone who is trying to hold you back. If they've been your friend for a few months or 10 years, it does not matter! Some people are so unhappy and miserable with themselves that they only want to make others feel as horrible as they do.
