How do you see a former friend of yours that used to be toxic?

1. Personally I wouldn’t because it’s unlikely that a toxic friend will change. I’d rather hang out with the real bros

2. If you’re asking how to talk to them, then I would meet eith them in a setting with other peopple around, and mingle before meeting them directly. Watch and listen to how they interact with the people around them before deciding to approach them.

3. I see them as having really grown as a person and appreciate that they made the effort to change.

4. I think it’s great when you can be happy for someone even if you once had an unhealthy friendship. So much time is wasted by being angry, trying to get even and wishing bad things for the people who hurt us. That said, you can never really go back to the relationship the way it was. Even when you accept your part of the conflict and can see growth in the other person, it can’t be the same. You can see them socially and civilly, but if it was toxic, you can’t relax and go back to the way it was before.
