Fake Friends

Fake Friends

  • Not all your friends are real friends. Most fake friends would lie to you and won’t stand up for you in times of need. They will reach out to you only when they’re in need, and their loyalty ends when their benefit stops. Remember that real challenging situations expose fake friends.

  • We’ve been nice to people on their faces but not so much behind their back. So, be honest in your relationships, and remember that you’ve been a lousy friend yourself before you accuse someone of being a bad friend.

  • An open enemy is much better than a false friendship. So, avoid fake friends at all costs. That not only means keeping yourself away from two-faced but also means not to be two-faced yourself. Actions don’t lie , and when people are good at heart, care about you and mean well, then you can see it in their eyes.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
