unfortunately, i did encounter toxic friends again. they attacked everything about me, from my appearance, to my religion, my relationships and my attitude. i was beyond the stage of feeling so bad or crying about it though.
at some point, i came to realize that it isn't only people that openly attacked me that are toxic. some people were nice to my face, but spread lies about me behind my back.
on one occasion, 3 of my friends came up to me and told me they hated me, out of the blue, for no obvious reason. but i later found out they had been nurturing jealousy towards me since we were in primary school.
so, i cut them off. i surprised myself by acting like we hadn't know each other for years. i didn't retaliate, and would talk to them when it was necessary, after all, we were classmates, but there was this wide distance between us.
