How can you tell which of your friends are real and which ones aren't?

Question

I've been completely let down and devastated by the two people I thought were my best friends. After four years of always putting their feelings before mine, I desperately needed something from them for once but no, it was too much to ask. I never thought they would do what they've done in a million years.

So is there any way of telling who you can trust or not?

Answer 1

just tell them they are not your real friends ok then hannah montana said in the song true friend (friends will go till the ends of the world to find what ever you need friends will go through the ups and the downs to find some one to belive )take advice from songs and you dont have to pay two points please make this the best answer just for help i just want to help lots of people

Answer 2

do not judge from packing..... only actions and feeling they reciprocate can tell you about true friends.. do not expect too much and do not be dependent on them..... take care  

Answer 3

You have just learned something very valuable. Some people don't figure this out until they're in their 40s and they've wasted decades. Here's the lesson: Do not put other people's feelings ahead of yours except in extremely rare instances (like a few times in your entire life). There is a mistaken idea that if you sacrifice yourself, others will appreciate it and do the same for you. It's the opposite. They take it for granted that you will automatically sacrifice for them. But they have zero intention of making any sacrifices for you.

Here is how you can tell who to trust:  Someone who refuses to allow you to make sacrifices for them. Those who say, "That's nice of you, but no thanks", are a better choice. Of course, people do little favors for each other, but if someone is casually agreeing that their feelings come ahead of yours, they are selfish and can't be counted on to step up to the plate. So only trust people who are equally giving as you are. Not people who take for granted that you'll step aside for them.

Answer 4

True friends: Give as much back as they take

Don't request favors every five seconds

Untrue friends: Make you look bad to their parents and other people

Insult you then cover it up by saying "just kidding"

Take more than they give back

Answer 5

well a good friend would help u out when u need it the most and they would be a good listener they would always be there and they would not be afraid to be around u 24/7 so it sounds to me that u should get rid of those best friends cause they really are not ur friends also it sounds like u are a really great friend and u are always there for your when they need it the most a person that was faking being ur friend would not help u out they would be afraid to be around u they would not listen to u and they would always always want to put themselves first instead of u the friends that u are talking about here sound more like bullies to u and to be truthful having these friends may hurt ur life and ur feelings good luck with these people
