Friends make an integral part of our lives. Choosing the friends we keep will define what we become in future. Great friends will make us successful, while bad friends will always lead us to problems.Here are the types of friends you need to watch out for if you want to be successful.The know-it-allThis type of friends will always be ahead of you in everything. They will give you advice even on issues they are not well conversant with. Such friends will certainly land you in great trouble if you don’t stop them from being in each and every one of your life’s agendas.The Competitor These are friends who always do things to disapprove someone, prove a point or after seeing someone else doing them. They will always compete with you even where it’s not necessary. Friends who are always in a competition with other should be avoided, or guided if need be.The DerailerThese are friends who we should avoid at all costs. Derailers always destroy relationships and limit your progress. These are the kinds of friends who always distract you and make you lose focus in life.The discouragerFriends with negative vibe will always discourage you from taking the necessary measures to progress in life. This type of friend always knows a thousand ways something will not work, why you will fail or even why that type of guy is wrong for you. However, the truth is that they are discouraging you because if you get ahead, they fear you’ll leave them behind.The BackstabberBackstabbers are the type of friends who say negative things about behind your back. They will always tell you pleasant things when you are together but the moment you leave, they spill your secrets and sorrows and tell people negative things about you.
