I have new friend in the area where I had my OJT, he is talkative and assertive person. I enjoy the company with him because he bring laughter and joy but sad to know and see it seem to me his somehow making faces to people and also backbites. He seemed to be a worse enemy if provoked. I called his attention and say quit talking bad things to other because it is not good. I only want him to realize, something instead he acted like he hated me. The next day we met he greeted me in a pretentious smile. Now I feel awkward to be with him now. You think I must stop making friend with this type of person or not?

I do not have fake friends because anyone I consider a friend is loyal, understanding and trustworthy. Those who say I am their freind and are fake, well I don't use the term loosely.

You should not give your trust to that person. You should at least be mindful of the things that you want to share with especially those things that are serious. But i am not saying that you should left him/her all alone. If you enjoy his company then you can still be with him but you must bear in mind the word limitation.

Well, I should not say to totally avoid him. Who knows, maybe the reason why you became friends is that he needs you to change? You did not mention if has other friends aside from you. He might just have that attitude to seek attention. Or maybe he's being avoided and that is his defense mechanism to hide the pain? Actually, there are some people who could not realize that something is wrong with them, they thought it just normal and they're just being true to themselves. Or maybe the reason why you recognized his wrong attitude because you're really his opposite. I would not tell you to avoid him or even put a period to your friendship. For me, he needs you to remind him of his wrong doings and make him realize those actions. For sure, you're the one who could understand him and even could help him. Hope you could be his guidance to the path of being righteous. I don't mean to change and make him perfect in all his doings, but you can guide him and gradually, reliarize it. Hope you can make your friendship turn into a good and lasting one rather than lose a prospective friend. Good luck and happy mylotting.

I feel great pride on calling the people I really feel are my friends, friends. It's really up to you. There are a lot of people who are so nice with but you don't know what they are also saying behind your back. People who constantly talk trash and dis people are insecure in my opinion. I know someone who calls me 'beautiful' everyday but when I'm with her, she would constantly pick on the little things that she consider wrong to the people around us. Even if the girl is beautiful, she would say "Look at those ginormous hands." She always sees something wrong. I decided to distance my self because I don't see myself hanging around and being around someone like her. I want a happy and positive energy in my life and she is the opposite.

There is a saying "TELL ME WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE" I'm not a judgemental person but as what you've stated he used to back stab others which in no good. There's nothing wrong in making friends with him but atleast learn to distance yourself and know him better.

Better do it quick before he could hurt you more. A back fighter is one worst enemy hard to fight back. He is not a friend potential, he is not worthy of your friendship and he could give you bad influence. Stay away from this guy and make your life simple and at ease without him!

hello, you don't have to stop making friend to him as long as he treated you right. If that what he always do make it clear to him that it is not for good making face in other people or at the same time back fight. It is really difficult to have friends like that because you will never know when he will gonna bite your back. Hmm but always treat him right until he realize that it is not good at all. help him to realize it. okay? good luck

Continue to be with him because you enjoy in his company. Get along with persons even if you do not like their personality still be with them because you can get great things from them. Do not choose who you will be your friends after all you can not be a good person without having an enemy.
