Why are some friends selfish ? Are they real friends or just making use of you ?
A friend of mine (Saro - not real name) is with different business than me. My trade & knowledge I shared with her for free & she enjoyed a great deal & earned alot from it. Saro is a sweet talker. She give an impression to many she is polite and friendly.She always requested from me all tips for business. I gave her & helped her without any fees. Money did not flicker in my mind but friendship I suppose.
One day another friend of mine told me ...don't trust her too much she is just making use of you. She suggested do a "testing" of friendship. I did... just a simple known question was forwarded to her. She gave a hard , arrogant reply "my consultation fee is $$$$" & no other word. I was deeply hurt of her attitude. Did Saro really made use of me & collected all information for free ? What do you say ...is she really a selfish greedy friend ? Pl.tell me mylot members...is it wrong I did this testing ? I feel so hurt you know....

Sounds very much like your friend just took advantage of you and your wealth of knowledge in this area of business. I suggest to give her the same reply when she asks you another question. 'Friends' like that are a dime a dozen. However, the person who warned you is a true friend as this friend cared enough to do so. Discard the greedy friend and be happy with the ones that show true loyalty.
