They are NOT your REAL friend… How to detect friends who secretly DISLIKE you and are FAKE Friends

Today we're diving into a crucial topic—fake friends. You know, those people who pretend to be your friend but secretly dislike you. It's time to uncover the signs that reveal their true intentions. Let's get started!

Firstly, it's the unnecessary competitiveness. Have you ever noticed that one friend who turns everything into a competition? Whether it's your achievements, your style, or even your personal life, they always have to one-up you. It's exhausting and a clear sign they don't genuinely support you.

Next, rude jokes. While friends can tease each other, there's a fine line between playful banter and hurtful comments. If someone constantly makes mean-spirited jokes at your expense, they're not being a friend—they're masking their disdain with humour.

Another red flag is a one-sided relationship. Do you have a friend who always asks for favours but never reciprocates? They use you for their benefit and disappear when you need help. Real friends support each other equally.

Pay attention to their energy. Fake friends often bring you down with their negativity. They might constantly complain, criticise, or just have a bad vibe that affects your mood. Protect your mental space by distancing yourself from such energy drainers.

Subtle hostility is another giveaway. Ever caught someone giving you the side-eye or a nasty look when they think you're not looking? It's a sign they harbour negative feelings towards you.

A true friend celebrates your successes, no matter how big or small. But if your so-called friend belittles your achievements or downplays your hard work, they're showing their true colours. Jealousy and envy have no place in a real friendship.

Beware of friends who keep reminding you of your past mistakes. They do this to keep you stagnant, to prevent you from growing and moving forward. A real friend encourages your progress, not your regression

Sometimes, fake friends are good at pretending. They act like they like you, but their actions speak otherwise. They might be overly nice to your face but talk behind your back or undermine you subtly.

Finally, watch out for those who secretly celebrate your downfall. If someone seems happy or relieved when you fail, they're definitely not your friend. Real friends support you through thick and thin and never find joy in your hardships.

I know that recognising these signs can be tough, but it's essential for your well-being. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and uplift you. Life's too short for fake friends.

if they are jealous of your success then they are not your friends, they must be avoided... see people for who they are...

I caught a "friend" give a dirty look for a SPLIT second when we were meeting up. She was in conversation with someone, smiling and chatting, then as I waved in the distance, her face literally dropped from a split second at first glance, then she quickly replaced it with the biggest smile. It gave me the creeps.

The one about evil looks is spot on some people can dislike you so much it makes them have a physical reaction. Please keep away when you see this

When they say youre conceited and want attention when being confident in something but will praise a total stranger to the ends of the earth for the exact same thing. Its hurtful.

I was the “cheerleader “ for family and “friends” that used me & discarded me. They spread lies and put me in harmful situations with men. I am so thankful that I am still surviving.

That part about people enjoying your downfall is so true. They never rejoice with you in your happy moments. I’m so glad I’ve made peace with the end of one of those friendships. It has been long overdue.

I have a "friend" for 10 years that always copies everything I do or I buy, although she is 20 cm shorter than me. She always tries to get me to do services for free for her, just to feel served and spoiled. One month ago I got a great job, she stopped calling me, she didn't even ask me how is the new job, although she has a career of her own and earns very well. I will stay away from her, I'm so sick of these childish games!

Criticism that usually comes out of nowhere and for something that is not important is a sign that you need to move away.
Also arguments about really small things and they refuse your apologies and explanation, it's time to move away from these people.

During your downfall is when you will understand correctly if the friends you have are really your friends or fake friends

I needed this video had fake friends my entire life

Yeahhh... That gut feeling its so true! I cut off many of my so called "friends" and stopped telling people my business. I never let my personal business be of any topic of conversation. I realize people tend to want to prowl more when you dont want to be the friend to center your business. I also agree. People will take, take, take. And im not just saying its just financially, this can be with advice, your effort, your support.

I recently distanced myself from an old friend because of some of these red flags. I remember catching her feeling "uncomfortable" when I showed up to hang with her but was well dressed. Well, I notice the few times to follow, she would ask me, "what I would be wearing" it might seem small but it's like... from that point on things changed, the next time we showed up for a gathering, I caught some of the little "snarky" remarks she would make related to things/brands I like. I said to myself yup, in that moment - that I am done.

My own mother...everytime I am with her I get injured. I feel so negative after speaking with her on the phone bc she downplays my whole life and makes me feel worthless to the point of killing myself. She is so full of negativity while I like being positive and full of light. I try to keep my distance but it's hard. I also have friends that remind me of an embarassing event. I am surely keeping my distance and life more private.

when i was down and out last year, my "friend" spent so much time with me. it's almost like she was feeding off my misery and depression. but now that i've overcome that dark place, she barely comes around or invites me to hang with her. plus when i used to tell her about my good news, even though she'd smile and appear to be happy for me, i could still feel a sense of resentment and animosity. it's crazy. she only comes around now to get information about my life and to be nosy.

[NaiNicole]

I had a ‘friend’ who was upset that I no longer wanted to tell her about my business…we were on FaceTime, and when I said ‘I’d rather keep some of that info to myself’ she looked at me weird on camera and then said ‘oh no worries sis!’…I had to let her go after that. I’m not obligated to tell you anything if I decided to change my mind about telling you my business

Watch out for people who thrive off your down fall. Competition and challenges frequently! Wanting to control your word choice when expressing yourself! Coercive intimidation of control! There I have separate and distance myself from them
