Signs Of A Fake Friend

Signs Of A Fake Friend

The biggest difference between a frenemy and a fake friend is that you know there’s bad blood between the two of you…

whereas a fake friendship can feel like a real one, but it can be more damaging than good for you.

Fake friends are the people you hang around with that drain your energy. You don’t feel comfortable, genuine, or emotionally secure around fake friends. You also wouldn’t trust your fake friend with the keys to your home.

Dont Waste Time

Dont Waste Time

Here’s the big idea:

We absolutely can grow out of friends, just like we grow out of clothes.

Our taste and preferences change over time.

…And this is not a bad thing. Its ok to let eachother go.

A True Friend

A True Friend

True friends are people who are there for you during life’s up and down moments.

They are genuinely happy for you when you succeed, and will be there for you when you ask them for help that is within their boundaries.

Real friendship is a two way process, making you feel loved, happy, and supported, unlike fake friends.

Fake Friendship Trap

Fake Friendship Trap

Obligatory Friend: Someone you don’t enjoy spending time with, but end up spending time with because you feel guilty. It’s a habit you do not know how to stop.

It all starts with the Spheres of Interest. When you first meet someone, you are not sure how many of your interests and their interests overlap. You both have spheres of interest, and you wonder how much overlaps..

Do you actually like spending time with them?

Do you actually like spending time with them?

Sometimes interests can be points of relevance such as:

  • Working at the same company
  • Living in the same building
  • Going to the same school
  • Playing on the same team
  • Being a part of the same organization
  • Having gone on the same trip

The more you have in common, the more relevant someone is to you.

In great relationships, the Spheres of Interest move closer together. Its natural when the circles move apart. Its how you handle it that counts.. be logical. Not emotional.

Be Real About It

Be Real About It

When you force yourself to spend time with someone or pretend to have a good time, you either are lying to yourself, or lying to them. This is not truthful living. You are not serving anyone by maintaining this ruse.

Having history with someone is not enough fuel for a real friendship lasting forever.

The Burst

The Burst

There comes a point in some unhealthy, unfulfilling relationships where the friendship bubble needs bursting. The lies. The faking it. The pretending everything is fine. It needs to stop.

Friendship break-ups should be treated EXACTLY like romantic break-ups.

The same way we don't tolerate toxic behaviour from a potential partner, we shouldn't tolerate toxic energy from a friendship of any time span.

Good Bye.

Good Bye.

Are there people who you are close with for the wrong reasons? Are there people who you are lying to yourself about? Are there people you dread hanging out with?

Letting them go helps you both.

When we say no to relationships that don’t serve us, we make room for relationships that do. There is no need to lie and make up BS to prolong the inevitable. Just be honest and mature about it.

Relationship Rule.

Relationship Rule.

Guilt is not fuel.

History is not enough.

Feigned closeness is deception.

Be honest.

Have more time for real relationships.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
