I hate people that act like they are your friend, yet they only come to see you to get things off you, see what you are getting up to, or worse still try to dob you in for something to other people. I have had it with a few people over the years that try to stitch other people up, but they are the ones that should be putting their house in order, rather than doing all the things that a enemy would do to you. I mean who would call and name a friend and stir problems up for them, if they were their friend, this is what one person has done and that was done to a relation of theirs that they class as a friend as well, how nasty can you get.

I can feel ur anger. Those people especially girls, r so mean in life. I hate them too. When I was in my previous company, there was a girl who always pretends to be my friend in front of the whole company, even the colleagues thought we were so good together. But actually, she just took advantage of me to help her in front of the BOSS. So hypocritical! I wish I never would have met her.

@joystick There r so many people like that, as u said, keep a common heart and always remember what kinda person we want to be, I think that's hard but enough, we live for ourselves not for others actually.

I feel that there will always be people like that, but to feel like one of the people that you call your friends acts this way makes you not trust other people who you also class as your friends. I really do hate two faced people and people that say things nice to you, yet as soon as your back turns they try to hurt you as much as they can.

It is common. They are opportunist. They want you because they want something from you. If you are useless, they will leave you without any words

That is called crab mentality.

I feel that some people use people and they also try to get to know all that is going on in your life, just to spread gossip, stab you in the back or do damage any other way that they can, as they do not like people to be happy. I also feel that people that use other people as stop gaps until another friend is available are the worst friends to have.

Well, sadly.. especially for those who have tons of friends.. some of them may not be real friends. I only have a few really close friends, and among them, there are even fewer that i can really count on. But at least, they are still real friends, i try to stay away from the fake ones..

I have been staying away from the ones that I also think are the fake ones and I will say by saying that I am busy or have company life is a lot better. I feel that life would be a lot better if people were true friends and that all the fake ones should be friends together.

I feel that there are a few that we do not realise that they are fake or back stabbing friends for a few years.I also feel that there are people that we have in our lives that are not the people that we really need, plus cause us more problems that is worth having them around.

Sure, there are so many kinds of those friends around. they walk with us, talk with us, eat with us..etc almost everyday of our lives. There are even those who capitalize on the word of friendship so they can get something from us. The problem is, we cannot actually see their intentions right away. we trust them because we need to and time will tell us whether we have to keep them or stay away from them...

I had a friend for a long time, many years and they turned out to be a person not to trust and I think that is why along with a few so called other friends I do not trust anyone. I stay away from a lot of them now and my life is a lot better now.

Friendship is not about staying together, hanging out together and sharing all the fun. It's about respecting each other's individuality and helping when needed and also advising if some one's going wrong. A word of abuse to correct the other is also good in friendship.

I feel that if a person is stabbing another person in the back then they are also causing a few friends problems in their lifE, they need to be unfriended as soon as they have been caught doing it. I do always try to help my friends no matter what, but some times people do not want others to help them no matter what oit is.

Pretending friends are those people who are attention seekers. It is fine with me to have a friend or two but true to me and they're not pretending in all aspects. That kind of attitude is not good to bring out the society especially to my circle of friends. I am a friendly person and true to a friend. :)

I am also a friendly person and a friend that people can put their trust in 100% no matter what they say to me. I feel that there is no point in trying to be friends, or staying friends with people that we can not trust no matter what.

Some people are great pretenders. LOL. We should be wise enough to know their true colors. We should not trust them 100%. We should not tell them everything about us. We should keep a gap between us. That way, they can't do their evil intentions.

You are right there, I feel really sorry for all the people that have been badly stabbed in the back by this person and I feel that they are now about to stab a very good friend of mine. I know that a few of my friends only tell a person what they want them to hear, as well as a person that they also see, as they know that they have tried to stitch other people up in the past really bad with people like social services, the gov and for no reason other than being jealous. I feel that if people do not get told what are the things that are going on in their life, then even so they will try to make some thing up.

I have know such people a long time ago and its a good thing that we dont have any communications now because they were so stupid. I really hate those people who are so untrue with their selves as well as the people around them.

I feel that people that way will never change no matter what and that they are the ones that really make them self known to others over time.I feel sorry for all the people that they have hurt by stabbing them in the back as well as spreading gossip that is not true.

That is one reason why it is hard to put trust on people nowadays. Some would just use you and not think of what the repercussions are. So, even if we wouldn't want to be choosy on friends, we have to be always on guard whom to be close to.

I have also a problem of trusting people, as in the past there has been so many people that I thought werte friends with me, or friends to other people only to find out that they are people that lie and back stab and every chance that they get. I also feel that there are friends out there that are trying to stitch other people up, all due to them being jealous of what other people have or do in their lives, shame there are people like that ourt there.

i feel really sorry for those people who've been hit by this pretenders. Well that's why we have to differentiate acquaintances from friends. Better yet, we should always be aware that knowing someone doesn't means that you must trust them in a snap of time.
@joystick (1675)

Even when you have known people years and think that you can trust them, I think you should be really on your guard, as there are people that like to gossip no matter what and people that like to stir things up at each chance they get to other people.

The people who pretend are always losers. They gain nothing in life and at the end of the day they are left alone with none to help them in their dark times. A friend is some one who is always there for you through thick and thin but these people lose everyone because they play with the feelings of others. Actually they are playing with themselves and losing the jewels.

You are right there.I do feel that these kinds of people are the jealous types and they are the people that cause problems in many other peoples lives. I feel that no matter how long that we have known a person we can never truely trust them. In the end these kinds of people get caught out of all the things that they have done and end up alone, or with people that are just as bad as they are.

i hate this kind of people too.. who pretend that they are your friends and the end they will left you alone. i have friends like this when i was in my previous company, i should say that i am a good friend to them but when i resigned in the company due to my pregnancy they forget me. they don't even bother sending me sms or email even i see them online they don't bother to send me message to say hi how are you. they snob me.well anyway, i cannot please them if they are like that who wants you because they needed you but at the end of it they will left you.

I feel that there are a few friends that use one of my other friends as a stop gap, as in when they have no where to go they end up at hers until some one else is about, as they know that she do not get out due to being stuck indoors. I feel that there are a lot of people that I lost contact with over the years, but obvious to me that they were not true friends, as they would have made a better effort to see me.
22 Mar 13
Me too i already experience that.The worst is that you will be their friend if they need you,All i can say is that dont put your trust directly its better to have a friend who are vocal and frank of what they feel than to have a friend who always say yes but then when you are behind at them they will bring you down..
@joystick (1675)

I feel that the people that we think we can trust are the people that we shpould never put our trust in no matter what. My friend use to say never trust a person, as there are people that you think you can trust and they are the ones that are like an enemy and I think she was trying to warn me.

we cannot always know the intention of people around us... but we can always try to be careful regardless who the person is from - someone we know from school, or from the workplace. I have had an early experience with people like this and its been happening all the time, i guess i am not too lucky when it comes to finding a good friend. This is probably why i have never been close with someone and i have many acquaintances. People have their reasons for being with you, a friend to you - some because it is convenient to be with you as a friend since you are in the same workplace... some just as you say needs something from you. whatever reasons are, always just be careful and not to give out too much of yourself.

I feel that there are a lot of people out there that can be so decieving, what makes people the way that they are to other people. I am a person that what you see is what you get and I would never betray a person no matter what they have done, or repeat anything that I have been told, as that is a trust that a person has put with you.
