Friends can use you in different ways; some can use you for your money, popularity, or even other self-benefits. 

Here are signs that a friend is using you;

1. They’ve talked about you behind your back

Friends are the type of people who will always have your back but not talk about you behind your back. When it reaches a point when your friends are talking behind your back but pretend to be on your side at your presence, then they are using you.

2. Your friendship feels like a business transaction

A good friendship is one in which it does not feel like its money-oriented. Whenever it starts to feel so, then that signifies how messed up your friendship is beginning to be. If your friends are the type of whom he or she only asks for money now and then, then know that you are being used.

3. You can’t count on them

Friends should be people whom you can always count on them whenever you need them. However, if you can’t rely on them, but they still seek help from you when they are in trouble, then know that they are using you.
