I’m currently listening to this podcast where they are talking about how to deal with fake friends. They also asked what about if your fake friend is a client or a boss. How would one deal with it? What’s your take on this?
I thought of my friends since childhood and I then evaluated which of them have stayed throughout the years and who became my friend with a hidden agenda. I can think of one or two who approached me and asked for friendship but it was later when I discovered their plan. I didn’t really think of anything weird or an issue when they asked for my friendship because I don’t want to judge. I won’t usually approach anyone to be my friend but when someone comes to me then to me it’s a pleasure.

This leads me to ask a question: if friends are not fake, are they true? I don't think so. I think people are driven by their needs and greeds. No one is true to anyone. This is an imperfect world. Everyone has a hidden agenda. The best way is to never expect anything from anyone. Let it flow. Just give and give.

@excellence7 I think they are true friends out there. My best friend is a true friend.

I also agree with you there. I think what you said is similar to an advice from a priest that has been stuck on my mind about loving a person. He said not to hinder myself from showing my love if the other person doesn’t love me as much as I love him. Indeed it’s an imperfect world with imperfect humans living in it. No one has not committed a sin.

My uncle has a fake friend. His so called friend always mean to him. He also isn't there for him most of the time. I wish my uncle would stop being his friend, but he won't.
