Friendships are probably the most important relationships in our lives, especially if we have good solid friends. But sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a nice and a fake person.
Use this guide to sift through who the truly nice people are and remove yourself from the fake ones.
A nice person will support and encourage you in any capacity. It can be a hobby or a career change, but an authentic, real friend cares and will be on the journey with you.
We all have elements of our personality that are a little quirky, and a real friend will stand by you despite your quirks.
At the same time, we all make mistakes, so a truly nice person will always forgive you. They will do this because they value the friendship more than the mistake you made.
Your real friends will always stay in touch with you because they are interested in you and your life. You might notice that fake people will only contact you when they need something.
Your real friends will always make time for you. Whether it’s a Saturday morning coffee or a phone call after work, they want to spend time with you and they will.
It’s also important to be able to recognize the signs of a fake friend, and not just what a real friend is.
Below are some things to look out for if you suspect a fake friend.
Fake friends are really good at speaking in a passive-aggressive way. They always find a way to insult you with a compliment. This will slowly reduce your self-confidence and often, you won’t realize it’s even happening.
Fake friends will often initiate plans and never follow through. They agree to plan an event with you but leave it up to you to do everything. They will often have the perfect excuse as to why they couldn’t make it so that they don’t have to feel guilty about it.
A fake friend will expect you to always put them first. They think that your life revolves around them and their situation will always be worse. Again, this is all about competition.
This should be a huge red flag for you if your “friend” gossips about others. If they are saying things about others, what do you think they are saying about you? We all need to vent, but when they are ripping apart, it goes to show they aren’t truly nice people.
Even if you got a new job or a promotion at work, your fake friend will always out-do you. They will always outdo you and your news won’t be good news, their news will always be better. To them, it’s a competition.
One less fake person is better than a bunch of unreliable people in your life. Remember these points the next time a friend lets you down. They could just be having a bad time or they are a fake and it is better to cut them out of your life.

Everything is true.
Thank you! A good birthday gift!
Ohhhhhh I know a few of these!
Your heart may have been broken, but broken open, to reveal the only place you haven't looked, within. Feelings change from time to time, like the passing weather, sometimes happiness, sometimes sadness, but beneath it all is the simple perfection of your life unfolding. The battles we fight are on the inside, for peace. Every thought comes and goes, maybe because of the changes of life, the seasons in cycle or the circumstances that surround us all. Focus on accepting thoughts and feelings whatever they are as natural to you in the moment and focus on making a change. In this moment here, life will unfold as it will, we can resist it, complain about it or we can make the best of it.
Yes there r fake people out there. They have a fake smile, manners., u name it. God did not make fake people! Js!
To be honest I would rather experience a fake person with manners than an ill mannered person. It really
