Toxic friend removal is the best thing ever — 3 reasons | AWAYION BEAUTY
Hi, Friends!
Ever had a toxic friend that made you want to turn your phone off? And become an anti-social superstar?
If you are a believer in Christ, then you may have struggled with telling toxic friends to kick rocks. If that is you, fear not.
In this post, find out why it can be liberating to end an unhealthy relationship with a toxic friend (s). Because every girl should know the sense of relief when they let go of their toxic friends.
Super Awesome Side Note: Before we start, understand we will not claim contested truths. And we will refrain from falling into the trap of “teaching man-made ideas as commands from the Creator.”
Out of respect for believers, we will simply acknowledge the multiplicity of views on this subject (the keyword is “acknowledge” and not agree). That said, this is a non-exhaustive list. So use this list to do further research.
Super Psst… the big secret I’ve been hinting around about on social media for a few months now has finally been revealed… (its also why I have been MIA for a bit… ) Read on after this post for the juicy details.
*Disclaimer: These tips could be helpful. Especially, if you are already a believer in Christ. Also, always do further research. This post contains zero affiliate links.

Sound fancy? Okay ladies, let’s start!
1. Flaky Friend (or any toxic friend) Freedom
All toxic friendships are bad enough, but flaky toxic friends are the worse, leaving you feeling drained and frustrated. These pals are only support you when you are ‘winning.’ Sad, eh?
Flaky friends will pretend to be nice to you as long as it’s convenient for them — and vanish when your friendship is no longer useful. That said, have you heard wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend? Think about that for a moment.
Also, did you know, “a friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity?” If so, you know only a non-toxic friend will support you during hardships (psst… a flaky friend will not support you in your trials).
If you’re having trouble with a flaky friend who never seems to be there when you need them (or any other toxic friend), the solution is simple — cut them loose. Revel in your newfound independence from them (psst… a good perk). You can find long-lasting non-toxic companionship with others.

2. Wisdom Increases | Toxic Friend Removal Perk
Having a dumb friend(s) equals a toxic friendship(s) — but if you dump these toxic friends (or any other kind of toxic friend) your wisdom can increase. That said, do you ever wonder, though, what classifies as a “dumb friend”?
To answer the question, let’s look at nescience vs. ignorance. Nescience is “to not know because knowledge was absent or unattainable.” While ignorance is “to not know even though necessary information is present, because that information has been willfully ignored or disregarded.”
At that, your dumb friends welcome ignorance. These “friends” will, through their own willful ignorance, cause you to stumble in your faith, backbite you, lie to you, give you terrible advice, even lead you to failure, and worse.
That said, did you know a dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends? Or did you know to not go with a hot-tempered man, or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself? If not, these are examples of toxic relationships where the friends are dumb. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What insights (aka wisdom) do you gain from examining this type of toxic relationship? Well, hard experiences with dumb toxic friends (or any other toxic friend) can increase your understanding of life — as long as you take the time to reflect on the lessons.

3. New Friendship Openings
Your efforts of “telling a toxic friend to kick rocks” could lead to new, vibrant healthy friendships. That said, being able to make new friends, breathe easier, and feel lighter after dumping toxic friends is one of the best things ever.
Friendship is something that brings us joy and comfort. Don’t be afraid to let go of friendships that are toxic—you don’t have to suffer by holding on to them. Let them go now and breathe.
Use your newfound understanding to create relationships that are true.
