11 Types of Fake Friends

Have you always been with your friends, offered them your help whenever needed, but you don't get the same from them? Maybe it's time to break away from these "friends" who seem to do nothing but take advantage of your trust and goodwill.

Here are 11 ways you can identify a fake friendship or friends that hurt you:

1. The opportunist

An opportunist never sees the full half of the glass, but only the things that can bring him certain advantages. This type of person will use (if not already) the manipulative force to take advantage of your goodwill and get the things he needs. These are not your friends, believe us!

2. Me, me and me again

Have you ever noticed the need for a friend of yours to always stay in the spotlight?

The reason is that the person has big problems with self-confidence and feels threatened by those around them. Even if, at first, you may not notice this behavior, over time it may become exhausting.

When this happens, it would be good to do general cleaning with your group of friends.

3. The Eternal victim

Taking responsibility for your decisions and actions is part of the maturation process.

The kind of friend who always feels unjustified and always finds himself guilty of any mistake or failure will eventually blame you when things get out of hand.

4. You are only mine!

If the time comes when one of your friends starts to control the time you spend with others, you should ask yourself some questions.

This is a clear sign that the person has control problems and that they simply cannot accept that you spend time with anyone other than themselves. Eliminate these kinds of people from your life. You do not need to be part of such a vicious circle.

5. The one who has the superiority complex.

Friends who are too afraid to be themselves will use the method of the superiority complex to put themselves in a better light than the one you are in.

Most of the time, their main topic of discussion with others is your last failure or your last mistake. Although they use this tactic to look superior to you, the truth is that they are afraid of you and the fact that you can be exactly who you are, and jealousy causes them to do this to sabotage your image.

6. The ones that don't accept yourself as you are.

The kind of friend who doesn't accept you and doesn't appreciate you for who you are is not exactly what we might call a "friend."

The friend in question will always draw your attention to the things he/she perceives as defects and will never be aware that he/she has his / her defects or imperfections, like any other person.

Don't let this friendship get to the point where you feel bad every time you see that person because you are bothered by endless comments about you.

7. The lack of audacity.

Toxic friends are unable to cope with friends who look like them. This friend will not have the courage to express his opinions in front of such people and will not be able to defend you in similar situations.

The only reason he maintains a friendship with you is probably that he can manipulate you and he can't defend himself. You have to show courage and break up the relationship when you think it has no future.

8. Are you still alive?

You call your girlfriend day and night, but you never manage to find her? Does the situation change radically when she needs you and expects you to turn into a hero who can solve any problem? In this case, what you have cannot be called "friendship".

At least two people must be involved in a friendship and, I'm sorry to let you know, but it seems that you are alone in this "friendship"!

9. The Good Samaritan.

Have you ever had a friend make various commitments to other people, commitments that will eventually come back to you? This kind of friend only wants praise, but he is not able to assume his duties. Break this vicious circle now!

10. The stingy.

The sad truth is that not all stingy people have money problems. Most people simply think that there is no point in spending their money when they can consume someone else's. Remove these kinds of friends from your circle.

11. The Queen.

She is always manipulative and thirsty for control. He has the impression that he controls your life and will do anything to get what he wants. As most of us have learned on our own, these "friends" will not give up on anything to achieve their goals. Show them that you have control over your life and fix things!
