The truth about fake friends and real friends is that we all have both of them throughout our lifetime. The friends that are nice to you to your face, but talk about you behind your back are the fake friends and the friends that never talk bad about you no matter what and stick by you throughout everything are the real friends. Nobody is perfect but we all want to have "perfect friends". We all want to be liked by everyone we see no matter what because that makes us feel good. Reality check: whether you have fake friends and/or real friends, the friendships you have with them are not going to be perfect.
Fake friends are those people that you hang around and they act like they like you but in actuality, they really don't. They may only be friendly to you because you both have mutual friends so they feel like they have to be nice to you. They can also just be putting on an act because they have a problem with you but they don't want any confrontation. Sometimes, they may not have a valid reason to not like you. They just stick with not liking you but act nice to your face. Behind your back, they can sometimes talk bad about you and you just don't know why. If you have a "friend" that talks behind your back and acts fake towards you, you have a fake friend.
Real friends are the real MVPs. You never have to question your friendship with these people. They are nice to you and they care about you in all ways. You smile and laugh when you are around them and they do the same with you. They help you with your problems and vice versa. You buy gifts for each other and you go hang out with them without any hatred or anger. Real friends are not fake and they will keep it real with you. If there is ever any problems with the friendship, you can always work it out with them. You also can talk to them about anything (even the weirdest or dumbest stuff).
Just because you have people in your life that act like your friends, it doesn't mean all of them are your real friends. I know I've had my fair share of fake friends but eventually I spotted the fake people I tried to be friends with and moved on. I did find my real friends through my job and through mutual friends and I couldn't feel more alive. If you want friends, find the people that put a positive influence on your life instead of a negative one. The people who are negative are probably not going to be a good friend for you anyway. Positivity equals a happy and healthy lifestyle and happy friendships with the right people.
