How often do you hear people say, “Oh, I have loads of friends?“
For a very lucky few that may be true. However, mostly it’s not true at all.
Almost always, real friends can be counted on the fingers of one hand with some fingers to spare.
For me, a real friend is someone I could phone at 2 am if I was in serious trouble and be absolutely confident that they’d be straight out to help me in a heartbeat.
Everyone else is just people I know with varying degrees of familiarity.
Yes, there is a broader circle of people with whom I socialise occasionally but my close friends are those I know I can count on when the chips are down.
Many people we know tend to be ‘fair-weather friends‘ and some of them will be genuinely fake. There when it suits them but otherwise they care little for us.
So we have to learn to differentiate the real from the not-so-real when it comes to friends. A real friend will be walking into your life as the rest of the world is walking out.
Here are 21 thought-provoking quotes about fake friends to help you with that process.
