9 signs you have a toxic friend group

9 signs you have a toxic friend group but it gets progressively more niche. Level 1: Basic. You leave every hangout feeling more drained than when you showed up. They peer pressure you into doing things you don't want to do. Your good news gets downplayed or turned into a competition instead of being celebrated. Level 2: Intermediate. There's an unspoken ranking within the group and you feel exactly where you fall in. The second you try something ambitious, you get accused of thinking you're better than everybody. You've started filtering what you share because you know it's going to get mocked later. Level 3: Niche. The group only bonds over a shared dislike of other people. And on a rare occasion, there's nobody to talk about, it gets oddly quiet. You slowly shape your opinions and your goals around what the group rewards to the point where you can't even tell which parts of yourself are actually yours and which parts you manufactured to fit in. Every time you try to pull somebody in the group out for betraying them or thinking you're better than them because the group can only survive if everybody silently agrees to stay who they were on the day they formed.
