Real friends

I am not sure if u meet someone that can act like your friend, but he or she is talking badly about you behind your back. Or maybe taking advantage of you all the time n not care about your feelings. And the worse thing is they can make you trust them like a best friend n after you share your secret with them, they will go spread around whatever you say.
It hurts to have friends like these. You wonder what have you done to deserve this.

I think if someone is truly your friend,they would take time to talk to u, listen to u n also try to understand you, help you whenever u need help n don't expect anything much in return.
They will hope that you achieve your dreams.
They don't mind even if you get better than them in some areas of life, they will be your greatest cheerleader n be happy for what you have achieved.
They will not leave you,  because you couldn't entertain them n make them laugh or have fun.
They will be brutally honest to you and won't keep a secret from you.
They are happy when they are around you and wish to share their life with you and hoping you will share your life with them too.  That's what I think real friends really do.

As for fake friends, they have none of the characteridtics above. It is quite easy to detect those friends. You will know it somehow. And when you find out, dont be too sad about your loss. It is better to be alone than being with a bunch of friends that are going to make you feel like you are useless and unworthy. Beware!! sometimes they can even crush your dreams.

Life is so short, don't spend it with people who pulls you down, spend it with people who motivates you, encourages you and makes you feel  alive, being appreciated and loved.

Everyone deserves to have a best friend, someone to walk through this journey of life besides our beloved family.

If you don't have,  reach out,
if you still don't find one, reach out even more. =)
