10 Ways To Tell If You Have Fake Friends

Do you think that you have fake friends? Here are some ways to tell if you just might.

1.  All efforts are very one sided

You are always the one making plans or reaching out to them.  If you didn’t do all the groundwork, you know they would never reach out on their own.

2. They are constantly putting you down

They will even go so far as to embarrass you or make jokes at your expense in front of others.

3. You can’t be yourself around them

Not just because you’re not comfortable, but also because they’ll criticize you for it.

4. You walk on eggshells around them

They don’t like when you disagree with them or have a different opinion – so you smile and nod, and pacify them just to keep the peace.  You start to feel more like a mom or a babysitter than a friend.

5. They’re jealous of your other friendships/relationships

They want to be your only friend and can become possessive if you spend time with other people besides them.  A true friend should never try to isolate you from other friends or loves ones.

6. They’re always competing with you and trying to be better than you

Whether it’s career wise or as far as competing for the same boy/girl.  Anything you can do, they can do better (or will at least try to).

7. They only come around when you offer to pay for their dinner or they need a ride

Stop letting them use you and see how quickly they disappear.

8. They’re flaky

And not just once in awhile, but all. the. damn. time.  Always canceling and conveniently to busy when you need something?  Pat attention to the pattern…

9. They talk sh*t on everyone and never have anything positive to say

If they can’t support their other friends, what makes you think that they talk about you any differently when you’re not around?

10.  They don’t accept you for who you are

If they don’t like you for you, and are constantly trying to change you…move on.  You shouldn’t have to change for anyone.
