Being a bad friend or encountering a bad friend is what we expect at one point in our lives as social beings. Over time, friends happen to become much comfortable with us just like it happens when you are in a relationship. We do expect that good friendship requires honesty, support, and respect but sometimes reverse is what we rip from friendship. This is how you can tell your friend is fake:
You may have encountered a friend who only shows up to you only when he/she needs your help for his/her own convenience! Beware of them because you are only being used but you won’t get that help when you need it from him/her.
We expect a good friend to be much comfortable enough to share with you some of his/her confidential information that he/she feel you should know. Unfortunately, after sharing the information, you take the information outside to people who should not know. Trust will be broken and that’s not healthy in friendship.
In day to days life, we encounter friends who never show up when you urgently need them! This happens especially during a baby shower for anew born, wedding or any other ceremony. It is important to be always there for your friend especially when you don’t have a busy schedule and show your support. You are likely to lose your friends for never showing up all the time!
Lastly, we encounter the kind of friends who like acting clueless or escaping to pay small bills each time you get in a restaurant or any refreshment place. This behavior is common among friends who fake that they are always broke. You are likely to lose a friend because of this terrible habit because he/she will feel you are only using them!
