Are my friends toxic based on their behaviors, such as being passive-aggressive, screenshotting conversations, making fun of people, sharing pictures of people they consider ugly, saying awful things about others, and often talking horribly about others without addressing the problems? I'm a sensitive person, so I try to keep that in mind. I find it hard to be vulnerable, engage with them, or push back without second-guessing how to phrase things because I see how they act about others when I'm around, and I don't want to be on the receiving end of their behavior. I regret not pushing back more. I've had this limiting thought: when I've pushed back and they've acknowledged their behavior, they seem to be aware and double down on what they call being "shitty." I'm struggling to distance myself because I enjoy the good times with them, but I'm finding it hard to get to those times and make it worth it. I feel like I look too much into their behavior, trying to figure out if they're mad or whatever.
