Strawberry Bubble Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Do you notice any common signs of fake friends who don't actually care about you? Or maybe you can spot people who seem supportive but are ready to backstab you? Feel free to share your stories too.
Jotham Posted September 15 Posted September 15 They will always try to one-up you or downplay whatever you're going through. 3
Mupps Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I'd say pay attention to how they talk about friends you have in common or other friends they have, it's a big indicator of how they will talk about you Also if they keep mocking something about you (your laugh for example) keep an eye on it, it can be harmless sibling-like teasing but it can also indicate a toxic friendship 3

shookspeare Posted September 15 Posted September 15 (edited) usually they talk badly about everyone behind their backs. Chances are they do the same to you with others Edited September 15 by shookspeare 1
Cheers Posted September 16 Posted September 16 You're the one that always has to make the initiative to make plans to hangout with them. They do things with other friends (who you mutually know) and you never get an invite. You catch yourself always telling them things and opening up but they never divulge much information to you. 4 4

P.O.P Posted September 16 Posted September 16 they always talk about their problems. only their problems. 2
I'm JAVIng Fun Posted September 16 Posted September 16 This might sound weird to some, but I find it that when they only compliment everything you are doing without question that means they might be fake. Real friends will be able to make fun of each other. 3

Real friends will be able to make fun of each other. Yeah exactly I find banter to be integral in a deep bonds between friends. If they are fake-nice all time it means that the friendship never went past surface level. 2
Homebrand Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I don't think this question is that deep - if you find yourself questioning whether a friend is fake or not, you already have your answer. 2 1
Dante Posted September 16 Posted September 16 they don't celebrate your success, and try to undermine it
Alldeezy Posted September 17 Posted September 17 All the ones that stayed after COVID? Or after you turn 30 and lose your looks those people are your real friends So yeah I only got 1 or 2 when 30 others dropped me as soon as things got rough Even in high school had many friends but as soon as my closest family member died everyone stopped talking to me. Those were definitely the fake friends. And this was 2009 Idk are friends even real? I've never had not fake friends to come to think of it 1 1
brenda-walsh Posted September 18 Posted September 18 you typically have a feeling deep down that they don't truly care for you or what you're going through. like you're kinda just around them but no real connection 2

This! and it's always you talking to them, not they to you
LittleCupid Posted September 22 Posted September 22 From personal experience I say: 1) If you feel hesitant to tell them things because you know they'll berate you. 2) They are shady and disrespectful to you but say they are joking. 3) They don't keep promises and forget important dates. Here's a video I like about this topic: I cut off everyone a few years ago and want to find real friends but I sometimes feel they're either extremely rare or simply don't exist.
