14 Toxic feminine traits classy women don’t possess. Are these stopping you from making friends?

I was scrolling online the other day and I came across a video about a woman who was venting that she didn’t have any girlfriends. That she would never have bridesmaids in her wedding, or have girls nights with friends.

This made me contemplate the type of friend I’ve been in the past and the type of friends I will allow in my life now.

I’ve learned to set boundaries and I’ve become very strict with the people I let into my inner circle.

When I was in my early and mid 20s I must admit that I possessed a lot of unhealthy and even borderline toxic feminine traits. The problem was that I wasn’t even aware of such traits and simply continued living my life. 

Many years later as I was working to channel my divine feminine energy I realized that there were certain traits that were blocking my ability to do so. 

If your ultimate dream is to become an elegant woman who is surrounded by other amazing women, you must learn to identify and remove toxic traits from your life.

You also need to understand what these toxic traits look like in other people so you can choose your friends correctly.

Here is a list of 9 toxic feminine traits to remove from your life.

1.Jealousy

The issue with jealousy is that as human beings it is normal to be jealous of other people. Maybe your friend got a job opportunity that you wanted. 

Maybe someone got to take a vacation and you didn’t get to go. Perhaps a friend found her soulmate and you are jealous because you are still single.

All of these things might make someone feel jealous. The difference between toxic jealousy and the way elegant women behave when they are jealous of someone or something is really what matters. 

2.Manipulation

I hear a lot about manipulation when it comes to toxic mothers and toxic female friends. We see it in the movies all the time. Girls manipulating each other and also manipulating other people in a negative way. 

I’ve also heard of girls working hard to turn other girls against one person. Manipulation can come in many forms. When used incorrectly, manipulation can be extremely toxic.

3.Judgmental

Again, this is another one that we as humans naturally possess. Being judgmental isn’t necessarily a bad thing. 

It is bad when a woman is being judgmental about something that is none of her business. I see this dozens of times a day, every time I log onto social media. A woman posts something online, and dozens of women are in the comments passing judgment publicly. To someone they don’t even know in real life.

It’s always shocking to me when I see that kind of behavior, and I must admit that I used to be that way. Sometimes they do it for attention, but most of the time they do it because somewhere in their own life something isn’t going well for them and they are channeling their negative energy into someone else. 

4.Controlling

Controlling behavior is toxic. Sometimes it can come about from something that is innocent. I find myself slipping into controlling behavior sometimes because I’m a mom, so for years when my kids were little I spent every single day micro-managing their lives. Now they are having to tell me ‘mom I can do this myself’. 

I don’t mean to do it on purpose and I’m actively working on becoming less controlling every single day.

Sometimes it can come from a place of love and sometimes controlling behavior can come from the wrong intentions. 

5.Hateful 

Does this even need an explanation? There is no reason to be hateful to someone else. Elegant women know this all too well. Being hateful is a toxic feminine trait and it is also a trait that will hurt you more than it hurts someone else.

6.Combative

This is perhaps one of the worst traits that I see. As someone who works in retail, I have seen women who are ready to argue and fight over every little thing. 

These women are still stuck in their masculine energy and most likely don’t know how to become more feminine. 

When combative women are in my store, I can’t help but be embarrassed for them. They cause a scene and it’s usually over something small that can easily be fixed, but they choose to argue instead.

7.Obsession with men 

Perhaps one of the most common issues I hear about between girlfriends is that one of them was obsessed with men.

There is a new term going around online called ‘decentering men from your life’ and it is trending for a reason.

Women who give most of their attention to toxic men will never be a good friend and will always have internal struggles as well.

After reading many comment sections, I have discovered that women are breaking up with their boy crazy friends because they aren’t adding any value to the friendship.

8.Selfish

Another trait that doesn’t need an explanation. I am the first person who believes women should become more selfish. But my definition of selfish is not what you think. 

Women who are actually selfish are not generous and are only focused on themselves. Because of this behavior they block themselves from good things happening to them. 

Being selfish is another trait that will hurt them more than it hurts other people.

9.Overly dramatic

Creating drama where drama isn’t necessary is very toxic. It can be hard to be in a relationship or friendship with women like this because they are addicted to the drama. 

Because they are addicted to drama, they will always invite it into their life one way or another. Usually they don’t realize just how toxic they are being. 

10.People pleasing

This is one that I’ve learned about in recent years. Women often want to make everyone happy. They don’t like saying no to people or opportunities. This can result in them becoming burnt out and only living life for other people and not for themselves.

This happens slowly over time and it’s easy to be caught in the trap of being a people pleaser. Maybe it starts at work with taking extra shifts for people even though you are already overworked. It can start anywhere.

Then it escalates to chronic people pleasing, which is extremely problematic.

11. Lack of reciprocity

Are you bad at reaching out to people? Have you been in a relationship with someone and once you stopped reaching out to them, you never hear from them again?

If you are always reaching out to a friend for advice or help, but aren’t available when they need you, it shows that you really don’t care much about your friendship.

12.Pick me girl behavior

In case you haven’t heard of a pick me girl, it is a girl who is always trying to have the attention on her, even at the expense of other people. Typical pick me girls are seeking validation from men by putting other women down in attempt to make themselves look better.

13.Two faced

Some people act friendly in person but say nasty things behind others’ backs. This kind of two-faced behavior is a quick way to lose trust. If you have an issue with someone, be direct rather than pretending to like them while secretly tearing them down.

14.Gossiping and spreading drama

Talking about others behind their backs may seem harmless or even entertaining, but it erodes trust. If your conversations revolve around tearing others down, people will eventually distance themselves from you. Healthy friendships are built on honesty and support, not whispered secrets and betrayals.
