Honesty is important in any relationship, and friendships are no exception. However, it’s when the honesty becomes relentless criticism of everything you do that the relationship becomes toxic.

不欣賞你的成功、不與你同慶的朋友是“有毒”的。真正愛(ài)你的朋友在見(jiàn)到你快樂(lè)時(shí)也會(huì)快樂(lè)。為對(duì)方的快樂(lè)而開(kāi)心、為對(duì)方的好運(yùn)而歡慶對(duì)保持健康、互相支持的友誼來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。

7. 他們對(duì)保持聯(lián)絡(luò)不太在意
Life is complicated. It’s important to understand that sometimes people can’t always call or talk to you but they are thinking of you. However, relationships get toxic when the other person isn’t thinking of you and makes no attempt to keep in contact. You find yourself being the only one reaching out, while they seem uninterested in maintaining the relationship. This is toxic because to have a healthy life you should engage in mutually fulfilling relationships with people who care about you as much as you care about them.
生活很復(fù)雜。有時(shí)候人們不能總給你打電話或者和你交談,但他們心里想著你,要理解這一點(diǎn)。然而,當(dāng)朋友并沒(méi)想著你,也沒(méi)有嘗試保持聯(lián)絡(luò)。這段友情就“有毒”了。你發(fā)現(xiàn)只有自己總是去聯(lián)絡(luò)朋友,而朋友對(duì)保持友誼沒(méi)興趣。這種友誼“有毒”,因?yàn)闉榱私】瞪?,你?yīng)該融入令雙方滿足的友誼,你關(guān)心朋友,朋友也要關(guān)心你。

9. 他們迫使你做不想做的事
When you’re around them, they pressure you into doing things you aren’t comfortable and make you feel like a loser when you don’t do them. It’s good to be around people who encourage you to try new things but it becomes toxic when they are forcing you to do things. You should be encouraged but not forced to try new things and move out of your comfort zone. Being forced to do anything has dire consequences that makes relationships like this toxic.
當(dāng)你和“有毒”朋友在一起,他們總是迫使你做一些讓你感到不快,或者不去做就感覺(jué)很失敗的事情。結(jié)交鼓勵(lì)你嘗試新鮮事物的朋友對(duì)你有好處,但當(dāng)他們迫使你做這些時(shí)就“有毒”了。朋友應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)你嘗試新鮮事物,而不是迫使你這樣做,讓你感到不快。被迫使做事有不良后果,讓友誼變得“有毒”。
