We tend to be more forgiving towards people we like (this is a fact), for example family and close friends. But everyone has their limits and sometimes it’s necessary to face the fact that someone close to you is actually not a very good person at all.
Someone asked netizens to detail the absolutely worst thing a so-called friend has ever done and people did not hold back. So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to raise an eyebrow or two, upvote the most horrendous examples and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

Teen girl sitting on the floor hugging knees, looking upset and reflecting on toxic best friend experiences.
She invited me to sleep over, and I went because I trusted her. The next morning, while I was showering, she came in, took a picture of me without my permission, and shared it with people at school just because she liked the guy I was dating. I ended up getting bullied so badly that I had to switch schools. That picture followed me for years. And the sad part? That wasn’t even the worst thing she did to me. But look at life now I’m in college, healing and growing, while she’s stuck. When you constantly hurt people, life eventually humbles you. Karma never misses.

Woman standing by window looking down, appearing thoughtful and reflective about toxic best friends and relationships.
My long time best friend, maid of honor, bailed on me the week before my wedding. Broke my heart. Never even made her do anything stressful or be "in charge" of anything but it was "too much". Friendship over.
