Common Traits of Fake Friends

“Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget.” Yes real friends are tough to find as these days real good friends are often mistaken as fake friends and vice versa. It’s better to have an enemy who honestly hates you than to have a friend who secretly puts you down. Life has become more dependent on social media and internet these days where we have more than 300 friends and there are very few of them who are our real true friends. And gradually we all are realizing that it is less important to have lots of friends and more important to have one real friend. Yeah, it’s kind of a tough job to recognize fake friends out of the good ones, but there are some traits in fake friends that will help you to spot them and to stay away from them.
