True friends are hard to come by these days. A friend is defined as a person, who is usually not a member of your family, whom you know well and whom you like a lot. Like it or not, friends influence us in many ways, and some "friends" will try to change you into something you are not and most of the times the new you is not a person you can like or be proud of.
I do not like it when "friends" spread hurtful words and rumours about other friends no matter how true they are. And the worst of these type of "friends" are those that can do this with malicious intent and glee. Utterly disrespectful. It is almost like an addiction to them. They do this because they feel that they are alone and they do not want you to have other friends other than him/herself. These "friends" talk bad about other people to you so that you cannot face them without feeling ashamed or being fake as now you know something that you should not know about them, and eventually you will drift away from other people and you can only turn to these supposed "friends".
Light gossipping is one thing but "friends" who spread venomous gossip about others is an entirely different story altogether and beware of these "friends" as they can declare that they are your "friend" in this moment and backstab you in the next second when you are not looking.
Another type of "friend" that I despise are those that put you or other people down in the face just to make him/herself feel better about themselves. These "friends" are those who know that they are lacking in many ways but they choose to put someone else down or hurt the feelings of others just to prove to themselves that somehow they are superior beings to others instead of working on their weaknesses or trying to look at themselves in a positive light. Hopeless.
Also, there are "friends" who take other people for granted when they themselves do not want others to take them for granted. What hypocrites.
The traits of these "friends" is too long to list in one post. Human nature can be so ugly sometimes.

Dear anonymous,
Friends do not need to be perfect. But sometimes there is only so much crap a person can take from a supposed "friend" and life is better when I am not associated with this type of people.
