4 Signs of a Fake Friendship

It's good if a person has many friends.

However, in some cases we may be talking about fake friendship.

It happens like this: friendly relations have long since come to an end, but people simply do not understand this.

Or it may be that a person deliberately plays the role of a “friend” in order to obtain some benefit.

How do you know if your friendship with someone is fake? Look for the following signs:

No shared leisure time

True friends spend a lot of time together.

If friends haven't seen each other for a long time, things are bad. It's possible that the friendship "died out" on its own.

Perhaps you consider each other "buddies" simply out of habit.

Refusal of joint leisure

Of course, the lack of active communication may just be an accident.

Then you need to try to make spending time together a tradition again.

Contact a friend with a corresponding proposal.

He refused? And more than once? Then you can safely draw this conclusion: the friendship is already over.

And believe me: the reason for the refusal is not that important. Even if it is valid (for example, constant employment), there is still no friendly relationship.

"Friend" appears only when it is beneficial

Does your "friend" only see you when he needs help?

Then this is not a friend at all, but a cunning person who plays the role of a “friend”.

You can't say what you think

Relationships with a true friend cannot be strained.

If you are shy or afraid to say something to your friend, if you cannot be yourself while communicating with him, then such a relationship is not friendly at all.
