How to spot a toxic friend; Ways to tell right away if you can trust someone

Usually these types will put up a good front. They will act really caring at first. But then, the claws come out! They will never have enough time to listen to your problems, but boy, you'd better be all ears when the least little thing happens in their life. If you call someone like this a friend, put him/her on the back burner. It's not to say you can't socialize at all with them, but be careful, and don't share personal details about your life.
