Novel & Cerita Quotes About Toxic Friendships

She assured me, with a cute smile. “Oh! That's surprising, though. Am I that loved by you that you could do such a thing for me?” I asked rhetorically, not expecting an answer. “Yeah. You're precious to me, and when I want something, I do anything to get it.” She explained, smiling, with her teeth visible now. Her words sent down my spine because I wondered if a friendship with her would be toxic. I didn't want a toxic friendship after all I have gone through in life. Then we went to a quiet place to talk.

Dear Elena, There’s a saying: ‘True friendship is like sound health, whose value we seldom know until it is lost. I have come to realize it is true after you walked out of my life because of what I did. I thought I was doing you good, but it turned out to be a mistake that would cost me a friendship I value so much. I feel guilty about what happened and guiltier that I still want to call you my best friend.

But was it worth it? “What if the truth costs me my friendship?” She asked him. “Then she was never your friend.” He replied. “I know one thing, truth can never harm a friendship, unless it was never a friendship at all. The truth is what defines most relationships at times. You can’t save a relationship with lies. You do so by telling the truth.” He looked deep into her eyes while saying those words to her. She was struck once again by this man's beauty. It felt almost out of the world...

“Fine, I vow that I will fight the feral madness. I will fight with my last breath. Happy?" Only then did the rigidness in Daemonikai's posture ease. That would be enough for now.

“That guy is Damien Rodriguez, the newly appointed CEO of this hotel. He's a player, Brianna. And if you don't like to be one of his toys, you better avoid him from now on!” My eyebrows raised upon hearing it. How ironic of these two men saying the same thing and warning me about each other. I shook my head in amusement. “You know, he also warned me about you,” I chuckled. I didn't wait for his response and yanked my arms away from him. Walking past him, I sat on the couch and started fiddling with my phone. “You two should hang out together. Surely, you’ll make a good friendship with him since you two can relate with each other,” I smirked.

But it just proved how little I knew. Now that I've stepped forward, the comments poured in. "Damn, girl, how did you endure this for so long?" "She did that, and you just let her? You're incredible." "Not to be victim-blaming here, but don't you think you're at fault here too? You were so stupid!" "Stay away from toxic friends like her. She'll suck you dry and leave you hanging!" I thought the same, actually. I'd been friends with Cindy for years now. If I hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't have known how she truly saw me.

Chris spoke, "Nowadays, people can be treacherous. You're young and naive and can’t see through it all." Paige stared at Chris with a hint of grievance, wondering why every conversation had to turn into a personal attack. "Don't look at me like that," Chris continued. "Haven't you heard the trending phrase? 'Guard against fire, theft, and best friends.' Often, the ones plotting against you are the people closest to you." Paige, indignant, retorted, "My best friends are genuine, not like those online backstabbers."

His best friend? That meant he was betrayed by love and friendship both? "How could someone be so heartless?" I whispered. "Uh, you do know that you were surrounded by more meaner, uglier, and heartless people than me... Right?" I emptied the whole glass of wine in one go, "Fuck them all." I'm done hearing and dealing with people who treat us like trash. We aren't their puppets or toys with whom they can play whenever they want. Be it Diego or me... These people destroyed us enough.

"Friends don't manipulate each other into public confrontations." "And friends don't assume the worst possible motives for every gesture of reconciliation." The words hung between us like weapons, each designed to inflict maximum damage on wounds that had never properly healed.

"Seven, I think you're an amazing guy. Never in my life would I have thought I'd meet a guy that we'd click and vibe on so many levels within such a short amount of time. You taught me how to play video games and it's my best hobby now. We both love chicken. We love coffee and spending time together with our loved ones. We are so outgoing yet so introverted. We have so many similarities. Just a few differences, considering you love romcoms and you don't hate white like I do. " Seven chuckles. " Honestly, I think what you and I have is amazing. The friendship we've built over the short span of time we have known each other. And this whole 'girlfriend-boyfriend' thing will ruin that. " Seven f
