Select your friends wisely .

When we were young, we use to think that having a lot of friends is a cool thing. Well, it may be nice to have a lot a friends but when we are starting to mature, we’ll realize that having true friends is more important than having a lot of fake friends.
True friends accept you for who you really are while fake friends only like some aspects of you for certain reasons.
True friends accept you flaws. You don’t really need to adjust for them. Fake friends only like you for certain reasons because they could just use you or they are only friendly to you because they only need something from you or they see you as beneficial.
Sometimes you meet your true friends at the most unexpected times while you meet your fake friends in common situations.
You may have met your true friend in the most awkward incident, at the most unexpected situation. Some of you true friends may have hated you before or disliked you. Some of them may have been part of a different circle of friends but you really cant explain how it happened, it just happened that the two of you would be able to interact with each other then you just became close without forcing it. Fake friends would only approach you because they feel like the two of you may seem like you have the same interests or they need some companion because they don’t want to be called loners.
True friends would tell you straight up what they dislike about you or if they have any problem with you while fake friends would rather say false appreciation to you.
True friends would tell you immediately if they are irritated with some of you actions because they want to be honest to you. They don’t talk behind your back what they dislike about you because they tell those things to you straight up. Fake friends keep on saying that there is nothing wrong with you and just keep on saying things that they appreciate about you because they don’t want you to have impression of them saying negative things about you. They make up stories and talk behind your back.
True friends rmember the smallest details about you while fake friend only remember some of your basic details.
True friends remember the smallest details that you tell them no matter how random they maybe. They know you birthday even if you don't constantly remind when it is. Fake friends don’t even know when you birthday is. They don’t even listen to you. They only listen to you verbally and not wholeheartedly whenever you open up to them.
You could talk to your true friends about anything that you want to talk about while you become selective with the topic that you opt to talk about with you your fake friends without you noticing it.
You could tell you true friends even the worst thing that you’ve done and they wont judge you. You can't keep any secret from them. Fake friend will immediately judge you without telling you their insights regarding the topic that you opt to converse with them.
True friends really care about you while fake friends care about what would be beneficial from you.
True friends genuinely care for you they want you to always be comfortable with them that is why they want you to show them the real you. Fake friends wants you to adjust for them so that they wil be the one comfortable. True friends envision their future with you while fake friends don’t even see there future with you .
True friends are timeless. They want to be part of their future lives. Fake friends are temporary. They only need you for a shot period of time. True friends want you to be happy in whatever you do as long as you are not doing what is wrong . they guide you in life. They want to see you succeed .
Keep your circle small . Having few friends is better than having a lot of fake friends because at least you know that no matter what, they would be there for you while fake friends are bound to leave you.
