What type of friend do you often find yourself finding?

I often find myself friends with toxic, abusive people... who drag me down more than they ever lift me up.

The friends who lift me up, don’t tend to be the friends I spend the majority of my time talking to.

I figure it’s a matter of seeking approval from unlikely sources to validate myself. It wasn’t a decision I actively made until a few days ago. It would seem I don’t have the will power or self-control to change such problems.
