Real friend VS Fake friend

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” But finding that bus partner is no easy task when you’ve got toxic friends around you. Sometimes breaking free from bad girls could be even more challenging that trying to avoid the bad boys. Here’s are a few easy pointers for you to start the “Spot the Difference” game in your circle.

REAL FRIENDS: don’t gossip about each other

TOXIC FRIENDS: can’t keep secrets

If she is a true friend, then every secret is safe with her – unless she believes you are making a bad decision, then by all means, she has the right to get help for your own good. But if the last heart to heart talk with her soon becomes breaking news, then you’ve definitely got a T-friend. And that T doesn’t stand for ‘Trust’.

REAL FRIENDS: feel happy for your success

TOXIC FRIENDS: get jealous of your achievements

Whatever leap of success you’ve made, a true friend will instinctively start planning a celebration for you. Your toxic friend, however, would be pouring cold water on your parade instead of jumping with joy with you. She would probably be thinking, “Why you? Why not me?”

REAL FRIENDS: are there 24/7

TOXIC FRIENDS: disappoint you when you need them

It doesn’t happen once or twice but almost every single time you’re down or needing someone to talk to, she’s basically nowhere in sight – not even on Facebook! The next time you meet her, she doesn’t even ask what was up, or rather down. A real friend would care.

REAL FRIENDS: love you for you

TOXIC FRIENDS: make you feel bad about being you

It doesn’t matter if you’re a K-drama fanatic or if you’re always making lame jokes, your real friend accepts it all but the toxic ones, watch out coz they thrive on your ‘weaknesses’ to put you down or worst, turn you into someone you’re not.

REAL FRIENDS: stab you from the front

TOXIC FRIENDS: stab you from the back

She may accept your flaws but where she can, she would help you to straighten up your bad habits cuz she wants to help you live in the best manner. THAT is what a real friend does. A bad friend would be badmouthing you behind your back instead and leave you continuously in the wrong. The only reason for this is because she simply does not care for you.
