9 Obvious ways to identify fake friends.

1.           They never give constructive criticism: They know you are doing the wrong thing but they won’t stop you or advice you against it. They don’t criticize you when you need them to.

2.           They capitalize on the negative parts of you: They are more interested in telling you how you are not doing something well or how you will not be able to do something right. They continuously underrate your abilities.

3.           Uncontrollably envious: They begin to show resentment towards you because of something you have and they do not.

4.           They are self-centred: They are more interested in talking about themselves and do not want to share what they know with you. They do things that work in their favour; they do not compromise anything for you.

5.           They are unhappy about your success: They are not happy when you tell them good news about yourself. They do not want to celebrate with you or they just give a normal attitude towards what you see as a big achievement in your life. For example, you won a spelling competition, you are so happy about it and you tell your friend and they say it is just a spelling competition why are so happy about it or it’s not a big deal. A true friend should value your success as much as theirs.

6.           They encourage you to spend recklessly: A friend that encourages you to spend your money on unimportant things is not a true friend.

7.           They do not respect their other friends: They talk ill about their other friends in their absence. Chances are they will talk ill about you too in your absence.

8.           They help spread rumours about you: When they hear bad rumours about you, they don’t tell you about or talk to you to find out the truth instead they help spread it.

9.           They are never there when you need them: Whenever they need your help or support, you assist them. But when you need their help, they always give you excuses and find a way not to help.

  At the end of the day most people are selfish. They will see you as a means to an end, but a few will build with you. Find those few!                        –TAILOPEZ
