But what exactly is a \u2018neutral friend\u2019 and why are they bad news? Having friends helps keep loneliness at bay, offering companionship and support. However, there are likely to be times when friendships are tested and conflicts arise. According to TikToker Jordyn, who goes by \u2018jordynsthoughts___\u2019 online, this is when you find out who your true friends are, as those who cannot stick by you are revealing themselves to be a walking red flag.
