Identify your real friends from fake friends. Who doesn’t have friends? We all are surrounded by friends, but how many of them are our actual and true friends. Lets discuss on how we can identify the real ones from the fake ones.
Real friend never abandons you
It’s very easy to socialize with friends during weekends or in any occasions. But when you are in tough phase of life, you ask yourself how many friends of yours stick by your side. I guess very few, and that’s when you discover your real friends from the fake friends in your circle. Real friends always stay by your side during your tough times.
Identify your Real Friends- Real friend always sees the positive things about you
No matter you are a mischievous guy or girl, your real friends only see positive things about you. You might be irritating, arrogant, impulsive, dramatic, emotional and always throwing tantrums for no reason at house or any place. But your best buddies will like you and only sees the positive things about you. They accept you for what you are. They never judge you or even try to change your bad habits by their caring behavior coz they care about you. But these kind of real friends are very rare to find. Consider yourself lucky if you find these kind of friends.
They never badmouth about you
They never badmouth about you. They are ready to defend you if someone from your friend circle badmouth about you. In fact your best friend is ready to yell at the other person who just said bad things about you and ready to point out his obnoxious behavior.
They will always pick up your phone call even if they are busy
This is also an important characteristic trait of a real friend. If you call your friend at during a busy time, suppose during office hours and he might be busy with his work, attending meeting but if he is your real friend, he would definitely manage to pick up your call and politely talk to you saying he is busy at that moment and would call you back later once he is free. But if he is your not your real friend, he wouldn’t even care to pick up your call.
They listen to you patiently
They always ready to listen to you patiently. If you are talking to your best friend, you can be sure that your friend listens to your every word patiently even if you talk fast, your best friend even understand your words you are unable to convey properly and That’s your real friend’s power of listening skills. They don’t fake any conversations. They always need a real conversation and topics can be anything under the sun.
They frequently give you pleasant sudden surprises
Real and best friends never shy away to give you sudden pleasant surprise. Be sure to get their sudden attendance in time of any special occasions. They will find excuses just to be with you and ready to throw a party for your success anytime.
They always share their dreams and aspirations with you
Remember very few friends share their dreams and aspiration with friends. They never demotivate you unlike the fake friends. Always think if a friend share his/her dream goal and aspiration with you, then you can be sure that your friend treats you as his best friend, philosopher and guide. You must be a special person to guide your friend in the right path of success.
They fight with you for lame reasons but never ever hold any grudges
This one is fun and interesting. Real friends also fight with each other for lame reasons. It’s a myth to think that real friends never quarrel, argue with each. But no, they also have fights but definitely in a fun and in an entertaining way. For example, we always argue with our best friends when our favorite food, favorite sports, favorite movies are disliked by our friends. Now tell me you didn’t argue with your best friend regarding any of these topics.
