What makes a great friendship? Some would say it’s having shared interests or a similar sense of humor, while others would argue it’s loyalty and dependability. Some want a friend who’s fun, adventurous, and exciting, while others would rather be with someone supportive, empathetic, and good at listening. Either way, like with any other kind of relationship, all friendships need honesty, trust, care, and mutual respect to thrive and survive. But when it comes to fake friendships, you’ll notice that all of these things are sorely missing.



Fake friends are people who act like they’re your friend when really, they’re anything but. They only care about you for superficial reasons (like your popularity or your money) and are never there for you when you need them the most. Selfish, manipulative, and disingenuous, they’re solely interested in what you can do for them and couldn’t care less about you as a person. So, are you wondering if you have a fake friend in your life right now and how you can spot them? Do you want to make sure that the people closest to you are friends with you for all the right reasons? Well, here are 7 things that only a fake friend would do:

1. Talk about you behind your back.
First and foremost, a true friend would never gossip about you behind your back and spread all your secrets to everyone. No matter how juicy the rumor would be or how popular it would make them, they would never jeopardize your friendship or humiliate you like that by stabbing you in the back. And while fake friends talk trash about you and spread rumors about you when you’re not looking, someone who really cares about you would never stoop so low as to betray your trust like that

2. Throw you under the bus
When the going gets tough, fake friends are willing to just throw you under the bus and pin the blame all on you if it means getting to save their own skin. They don’t vouch for you, they don’t take your side, and they certainly don’t stick up for you when someone is hurting or belittling you in some way. They will just stand idly by when you’re being harassed (be it verbally or emotionally) because the truth is, they don’t think you or your friendship is worth putting themselves at risk for.
