How to recognize and avoid fake friendships?

Recognizing and avoiding fake friendships is essential for our emotional well-being and maintaining healthy relationships. One effective way to identify this type of friendship is by observing the consistency of their actions and behavior. Genuine friends are there for us in good times and bad, offering support, encouragement, and understanding. On the other hand, fake friends may only show interest when it benefits them or disappear during challenging periods. Additionally, fake friends often exhibit inconsistent behavior, gossip about us behind our backs, and make us feel drained or manipulated. By being attentive to these signs, we can protect ourselves from investing time and energy into relationships that do not truly support and value us.
