As you get older, it is important for you to be able to tell your
friends apart, it is important for you to be able to identify and set
apart the fake friends from the real ones.Here are 5 signs to help you identify a fake friend.
Your Friend Constantly Undermines You
This
speaks for itself. If you have a friend that constantly tries to
embarrass you and make you look bad in front of anyone or everyone, even
after you have told, asked or begged them to stop, this can be a major
sign such a friend is fake, even though the friend might claim to ‘just
be joking’. It’s okay for a friend to embarrass you one or two times
without being aware, but when it becomes a constant occurrence
especially at crucial times to you, you should be careful.
Your Friend Makes Fun of You All the Time
The
key word here is ‘all the time’. Yes there are friends that will
jokingly make fun of you in a harmless way and there are others that
will do so to belittle you and lower your self-esteem. Observe to be
able to tell the difference.
Your Friend is Mean to You
There
is no amount of denial that should prevent you from coming to terms
with the fact that your friend is just plain mean to you. A mean friend
typically tries to take advantage of you, tries to push you around,
isn’t considerate of your feelings and constantly tries to belittle you
and your accomplishments.
Your Friend is Very Critical of You
If
your friend is so critical of your mistakes, chewing you out for even
the smallest and pettiest mistakes, it’s another sign that such a friend
might be fake, especially if the friend constantly excuses their own
mistakes while making a big deal out of yours.
Your Friend Ignores You Often
This
involves your friend ignoring what you say, your presence, failing to
introduce you when necessary (even when their attention is brought to
the fact that they haven’t) and basically just acting like you’re
unimportant, irrelevant or like they have no idea whatsoever of who you
are. If this occurs frequently, you should think twice about being this
person’s friend.
