Having a group of friends who care and love you for who you are is a blessing.

We can't always get what we ask for especially when it comes to relationships with friends or even family; we just hope that they'll treat us as we treat them.

Friendship is a beautiful thing to have it make life more bearable during hard times, we all need supportive friends in our life.

Not all friends in our lives are honest with us, some could be jealous of the progress you make in life or sometimes happy when you have misfortunes.

We have all experienced that one bad friend that we could tell stories of how bad they did us.

Well, here is a list of how to know that fake friend in your life;

They put you down

Some friends are ruthless, they don't like to see you win in life.

When you get a job opportunity they are the first to hate on it, they ensure to make you feel that it would be a bad decision.

They also tend to crush your confidence in everything it could be your dressing code or your performance and they are never supportive.

They act mad when approached for their bad behavior

When you speak to a friend over a bad habit that they have they are willing to change because they want to maintain the friendship.

This is because true friends care about their friends' feelings and they want to work it out.

Fake friends are always acting defensively when you confront them over their behavior, they are always ready to act all crazy on you.

This type of friend does not care for anybody, they care about themselves and their feelings.

Good friends should always be open to hear out each other's opinions and come to the common ground so that everyone is happy.

They are never there for you

A real friend should always be ready to support their friend in the time of need.

Sometimes one can be busy with life that you forget to be there for a friend who is going through something.

Technology has made things easy you can always call them and give them a listening ear.

A fake friend will not make an effort so much as to call you, you are always there for them, you are the shoulder they cry on; but when it's time to support you all of a sudden they are busy.

You tread steadily around them

Do you know those friends that you approach and they are always 'right' in everything they say?

Well, fake friends are always right in everything they do or say.

Whenever you try to give your opinion that is different from theirs they are ready to fight you.

A good friend understands that we can't all be the same we differ in our thinking but we always love one another the same no matter the opinion.

They never fight for you

This does not mean literally but they always fight off people who want to hurt you or make you feel bad about yourself.

A true friend is supportive, they will want to ensure you are always safe when it comes to how you feel; they will make sure you are happy and no one makes you hate every bit of yourself.

Fake friends never care for you, they'll never want to defend you when something is up.

It's good to find good friends who want the best for you and they will support you to the end of the world.
