Each state's weighted average across all metrics was used to calculate its overall score, which then determined its final ranking.

What are the signs of a selfish friend?

The Selfish Friend This friend may only make plans when it is beneficial to them — or only when they are feeling lonely and bored. They may also seek constant attention or ask for unreasonable favors.

webmd.com - Signs of a Bad Friend - WebMD

Friends are an important part of life — they make your life better by providing social and emotional support, providing companionship, and lifting your mood. Over your lifetime, maintaining positive friendships can lead to improved health and well-being — and even lengthen your life. However, not all friendships are beneficial. Some are toxic and stressful. A bad friend can be many things, but, typically, they lead to mental and emotional fatigue or a lack of general well-being. Research shows that negative or overly-aggressive social interactions can lead to increased inflammation within the body. What Is a Bad Friend? In short, a bad friend is someone who is stressful or exhausting to be around. They may be: Overly competitive with you

Unreliable

Combative (like to start fights)

Rude

Mean or degrading (make you feel bad)

Prone to gossip

Likely to bully you or others Humans aren’t perfect, and this extends to friendships. However, when interactions with a friend are overwhelmingly negative, you may be dealing with a bad friend. While admitting you have a bad friend can be disappointing, there are steps you can take to move forward. Recognizing the types of bad friends and the signs of a toxic friendship, as well as moving on from the relationship, will lead to your improved health and well-being.
