Fake Friends Experience and My Attitude to It

Fake friends experience is a topic of my essay. This issue comes up throughout your entire life. I feel like I started to have my first encounters with these so-called snakes as early as grade school. To give you a little taste of the ways these people act, these are the kind of people that, come up to you at school and act like your “Best friend” and are over the moon to be around you and just talk to you. But don’t be fooled because as soon as someone else comes along or a different group of people join the conversation, that same person will act completely different or pretend like they don’t know you period. Now honestly I’ve had it up to the ceiling with these people. I’m so sick of being lied to, thrown under the bus or dragged into the drama that doesn’t even involve me. My favorite, I like to call it the icing on top of the cake, is when people you don’t know or rarely talk to make up lies, stories or rumors and spread them around. Just to get under your skin or break up your other friendships. At this point it makes me think is there anyone real even out there?

This is why I like to tell people “hey, if you don’t like me then great, but don’t come up to me and pretend like you want to get to know me just to turn around to someone else and talk smack about me”. Be straight up and honest. I’d take that over someone who sticks around just because they feel obligated to any day of the week. I’m so tired of being surrounded by all these people who bring negativity and drama into my life. For example this is a situation that comes up a lot in my friend groups, let’s say Joe doesn’t like Katherine and will talk about how much she despises her but will go and make time to hang out with Katherine outside of school and they will take pictures and post them all over social media together like they’re married. But guess what the next day Joe will continue to talk about how much she hates Katherine, shocker. At that point if you hate that person so much why you would make time out of your day to go and spend time with a person you don’t like.

To me, that’s mind-blowing. The saddest part about fakes is they will be the first to leave you when you are really in need of a friend, they will immediately drop you for someone else. When that other person leaves them, they always come running back. But the question that comes up is why would I let you back into my life when I clearly mean nothing to you? I am a strong believer in what goes around comes around. To me, it doesn’t make sense to be rude for no reason, to talk smack about someone who’s done nothing to you, to leave someone as soon as they’re road starts falling apart. However, as much as I dislike fake people, a part of me loves them because without snakes, fakes, and betrayers you would never learn about what a true friendship is. How people who care about you actually act towards you. So as much as we don’t want the fake friends apart of our lives they are the vital pieces who show us to never take the real ones for granted.
