I wish you could hold them up to a light to see if they are real or fake....

All people come with their own intentions some come with good and others bad so you just pray to God that you don't meet one with bad intention

I think that this is a far too simplistic idea, and I do not think that it would necessarily be the best for everybody. I have had friends that have betrayed me, and while their betrayal hurt I cannot say that I wished our entire friendship had never happened, because there were good times and things that we both learned from each other. One bad act might end a friendship, but does that bad act negate all the good things that happened before it? We all learn and grow, and perhaps I had a positive effect on that person, so the next friend that they make they might treat better just as I will take the positives and try to expand on them in the future while keeping in mind the negatives that I have also learned.

The only thing we could do is to build trust with our friends hoping that they are true to their words. We can only hope for the best in choosing our friends. Some can be easily distinguish if they are true or not but other won't be easy. But if we don't learn to trust someone else, then they in turn will not trust us. True friendship is the one that is proven time and time again during the highs and lows. Fake ones simply there during the plenty and will turn you down in times of drought.

Yeah, it is definitely true indeed. it is very hard to know ho your real friends are these days.. So that would be really nice ,if we can obiously see who the fake ones are just by looking at them in the light. sadly, we can't..We still have to wait to rally know.

I wish I could do that as well, hold them up like a $20 dollar bill or scan it through money detector so I can test if they are real. Sadly it needs more time to prove if our friend is real. I don't have friends who stabbed me at the back or maybe I just didn't know yet.. I only have fake friends, two-faced I guess.

Indeed, we can obtain a lot to meet a real or fake friend. A real friend will share our happiness, give us a hand when in trouble and relax us when we are upset. while a fake friend would make us reconsider this person now that he or she do something unfavorable to others.

I think you are a person of truthfulness that you like things to turn out present in your very eyes to see if true or just a drawing.You like to see if it is true and do not believe in just hearsay.

Well it is hard to really know what their intent with you until things happens that you can only realize if they are genuine or not. But I think the best thing you can do is never be the fake one and be genuine to everybody. Sooner or later you might just find the best amongst them and keep them in your life. For those you found to be fake they are just a lesson you have to learn to make you stronger and avoid those kinds of people again.

Always try to see the good in the bad, like failed friendships and phony friends who betrayed you. I know it hurts a lot, especially if you've become so close over the years. But the longevity of a friendship isn't even a guarantee that your friend will never betray you. So let's enjoy the moment, be more wary of people who just use us to their advantage, and learn from past mistakes, like you said. There are lots more people and opportunity in this world that we are yet to meet. And we can never have too many friends.

knowing a person's character takes time a long time. You can't identify it easily; sometimes you think you've already found the right friend and a true one and then just realized that oh, I was totally wrong. Well, from that experience you will learn a lot of things. It's good to experience difficulties and hardships for through it you'll be able to become strong and good. Be thankful to the people you feel you down for through them we become strong. as long as we are a true friend then at least true friend exist.

real or fake, it makes no sense if you cannot examine first yourself than others because through a deep examination and understanding of who you are, can make you feel secure and starting to trust yourself and even to other people that surrounds you. One way or the other, you need to overcome those fears that hinders your life especially in dealing with other people. Moreover, a real friend can trust you all the time, he/she able to understands you in your struggles in life.
