Fake Friends Will Ignore You Until They Need You

In our life journey we meet many people and get close to them. We start calling them friends and trusting them. As time passes we realize that we have real friends, fake friends and others who lie somewhere between real and fake friends. A real friend is simply another creature who is very similar to us. We share nearly the same troubles, moments of sorrow, despair, hopelessness, breakdowns. As we also do share the same feelings of pleasure, happiness, comfort, hopefulness. We are humans and nobody is perfect, but real friend is the one who accepts us with all our imperfections.

I always believed that friendships last forever and that our friends are always going to be there for us. As I grew up I had many friends. We shared everything together and spent good and bad times together. Friends who helped me in situations where I was not able to help myself, by a simple word or by a priceless encouragement. Who really understood what I was going through and tried to be there for me. Who understood me when I sought understanding. And there were other "friends" who tried to prove me wrong all time. Who left me in the time when I really needed them. Who acted good in front of me, but talked bad about me. Who remembered me only when they needed help. Who were there all time when I was happy and disappeared when I was in trouble.

I think all of us had such experiences and we had to sit one day and think, who really deserve to be our friends. Remember the high school days or even at work place. The ones who talk to you only when they don’t have anyone to talk to! You are treated as an option even when you consider them as your priority.

We need to recognize a bad friend and understand when to end a friendship, especially if it’s doing nothing but messing our life. As they say, actions speak louder than words. A person who doesnt respect our time and privacy, who isnt trustworthy or doesn't have good intentions, who try to dominate us every second of our life, is not a real friend. We shouldnt even call that person a "Friend". If we feel like we have been hammered on the head every time we spend time with that person, we need to think deep about this relation.

We need to feel good around friends and enjoy our time with them. But if they make us feel bad or lose our confidence, come up with lame excuses whenever we need them; it is better to be alone!
