The Negative Influence Of Relationships

I never really had friends when I was younger. I was picked on and bullied. In the third grade I made my first few friends but ended up losing them when my family moved. I didn’t know how to make friends, or how to interact properly with other people. My social abilities took time to build but I was eventually able to build relationships with others in time. Friends came and went throughout my life and I slowly got used to figuring out how other people worked.
I’ve made a lot of good friends, and bad ones as well. I couldn’t really tell who was negative influence in my life because I just wanted to have a friend. As a result, I formed unhealthy relationships with people just for their companionship. My most recent friend like this is a girl …show more content…
It was a casual relationship and was probably more physical than emotional. It didn’t last long and then she started dating both of my best friends on and off. But because they were my best friends and I spent most of my time with them, I had to spend my time around her as a result.

I have a habit of associating beauty with good. Sometimes I have the impression that just because a person is beautiful, they must be good. Her compliments are also what gets me. She’ll always tell me things such as: “You’re so pretty.” or “You’re so smart.”
She makes me feel better about myself which makes me overlook any negativity she’s imposed on me. I’ve met her family and have befriended her mom. We see each other at least twice a week and it usually isn’t bad. But almost every time I see her she throws a tantrum or bursts out crying. She’s also seen me as a threat to her boyfriend, my best friend of four years. I’m not sure if I want to carry on with our friendship because it’s just so emotionally draining. But I always get pulled back in when she says things like: “You’re never going to leave me right? If you leave me, I’m not sure who I’d have
