(The Frisky) -- Who was the first person you called the day your ex dumped you? Or that time you found a weird bump? Or the day you stumbled across that pair of barely worn Christian Louboutins at the Goodwill?
If you're like me, you called a girlfriend. While I love my man, and adore my cats to what some might consider a scary degree, the relationships I have with my girls is on an entirely different plane.
They're the funniest, smartest, weirdest (in a good way!) gaggle of broads I've ever met and I feel lucky every day to have them around.
It wasn't always this way. I've had to prune my posse (please note that I've also been kicked out of people's lives as well) and have discovered some types to avoid.
- Drama Queen
- Nurse Betty
- Lady Hater
- The Critic
- The Leg Humper

Do you have any 'friends' who fall into these categories? I have people that I work with, that I wouldn't call 'friends' who would turn on you on a dime. I would put the gossiper on this list as well.
How do you handle people like this? Do you keep them at arm's length? Or do you believe that it is good to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?
