Friendship issues

So one of my closest friends has been slowly starting to reveal their toxic traits to me, and I'm not sure what to do because I really love them as a friend and don't want to lose the friendship we have.

Any ideas on what I should do? 5148648a74905_raining-cloud.gif

imo i say try to talk to them then, nothing will get solved if you dont talk, if you use I feel statements too it makes the conversation go smoother. saying something like "i feel unsafe, or I feel a little confused when you do something like this.." or "I feel like our frienship hasnt been as strong and i think we need to work on this...*insert words that you need to tell them*" it makes it sound like you're not targetting them but it gets them to a point where they can relize how their actions are affected you and stuff. Make sure it dosent sound one sided though, because a toxic relationship has two sides normally which make it toxic, I think you guys just probably need to talk and have even ground when doing so. make sure you try to think about why this person is showing you these toxic signs. but if that goes well they will work on being nicer to you and put their part in but if they ignore it then maybe just go on distance for a bit until they relize that they did hurt you? because if you let this person keep doing stuff they may never stop or they may learn how to manipulate or something. if you love this person and they are close and care about you im sure it will go well if you talk to them, every toxic person normally always room to change if they dont feel threatend by it ykyk BUT IDK IF THIS MAKES ANYSENSE just talk to the person though
