Is it normal that i’m a toxic friend?

I like to be in control of friendships and I find that if I take control and be a bit a bit manipulative, my friendships are more productive for both me and the other person. I often get bored with people so I start arguments and then resolve them when I feel like it. All the things on checklists of things like how to spot a toxic friend are things I do. I know that I’m doing it but I find that it works out better than if I let the other person call the shots. Is it normal that I do this or should I change?

    It's not normal and you probably don't really have friends. You are just the idiot who is annoying everyone.

    Be nice, or you will wind up alone and miserable.

    You are a bitch. People pretend to like you. In the end, there will be no mercy. The world will pour its hatred on you.

    Its okay to be toxic, as long as you do your best to try to be actual friends too

  • Some people enjoy being manipulated. If you want to change and be kinder, do it.
    If you don't, be prepared for an eventual distancing of a friend or other who can't play this game anymore.

    That's very insightful of you for a junior high school girl!

    This is normal if you are female.
