Do you know you attract fake friends yourself? - BELLO K SOFIYAT

Am sure you are wondering, and your minds are already asking questions, questions like, how?, when?, 

 Now, let me be more explicit, to start with I will like to explain what fake friends is, because during my research, I found out that, some people define fake friends to be people who pretend to be who they are not, just to avoid people knowing some parts about them, they see fake friends as pretender, but you know what they are wrong, you can have a friend that pretends but not fake, 

Fake friends are those that think ill about you, but be nice to you in your presence, fake friends are people that don't want your progress, but pretend in front of u like they want the best for you, fake friends are always jealous of your progress.

  Fake friends are sweeter than real friends when they need you, but when they don't they become harsh.

   WAYS WHICH WE ATTRACT THEM(fake friends)

   The common way is through social media, we are all use to posting our progress or success on social media, this attract people, and some will want to be your friend, some want to be your friend because they want to be like you, some want to be your friend because they want to bring you down, they will try their best to move close to you, and you will think he/she likes you but you don't know his/her intention towards you.

 The second ways is the way we see advise,Some of us will seek advise from people, and some will tell us what we want to hear, and some will tell us want we did not want to hear, we will now see those that tell us what we want to hear are those we see as friends, we will now bring them closer, not knowing that you are bringing in fake friends, friends that will destroy you, please be careful who you choose as friends, and friends we listen too, because not all your friends her genuine, some of them want you to derail from the right path.

     HOW DO YOU SPOT FAKE FRIENDS

They're a fair-weather friend.

  Does this person find a way to be around when it could benefit them?, but as soon as you truly need them, they disappear? Maybe they come to a party you're hosting so they can network, but when you're struggling, they disappear into thin air. Leeds says this kind of behavior is indicative of a fake friend.

   

They talk about you behind your back.

This one can be harder to spot, of course, depending on how careful this person is with who they talk about you to. However, if you catch wind of a supposed "friend" spreading rumors or lies about you, or just generally trash-talking.

  

They're jealous of you in some way.

"With fake friends, there's an underlying jealousy," They want to be friends with you because they have some benefits to derive from you, "but there's this underlying jealousy where they don't want you to be successful.

They try to sabotage you.

Similar to competitiveness, a fake friend may feel the need to sabotage you in certain scenarios. Say you're out at a bar with friends and flirting with a stranger. This kind of friend may come up to you and say something purposefully embarrassing about you to deter your potential suitor.

      In conclusion, I will plead to you reading this article, to be careful who you make your friend, and people who come close to you, because you don't know who is who, and fake friends can ruin you, if care is not taken.
