Fake Friend Strikes Again

My mama's fake friend called her back ten minutes ago, but my mama didn't answer because the phone is here on the kitchen countertop and my mama is in bed with her bedroom door locked. I checked the caller ID on the screen and it was that woman. I knocked on my mama's door and asked her if she wants to answer her fake friend's call. She said she didn't and to screen the call.
I put the phone back on the countertop and waited it out to see if that woman would call back. I had no intention on answering the call and saying anything because that's not what I do and it's not my place to get involved in this anyway. She called two more times and then stopped for now. I hope she's not going to cause us trouble by becoming an obsessed stalker. We have enough problems as it is.
Discernment is important. Please don't befriend anyone and everyone just for the sake of friendship. Not everyone who smiles at you and is nice to you is your friend.

I’m too old to stop being careful now. Tried to be nice once and it hit me in the butt.

Oh no. What happened? Some people take kindness and trample on it!

@lilacskies — it’s in the past, and that’s where it will stay. The lesson I’ll keep, though.

@FourWalls I like your thinking! And I like that you are keeping the lesson. Hopefully, my mama is the same way. At least she cut off the woman for good today, even got rid of her phone number.

I learned that the hard way when a stranger comes to my home and wants me to pay him to work and even want me to wash his clothes for him.

Oh no. What happened? Who is this stranger and why did he show up at your house? How does he even know where you live?

I agree with you on a bad friend. Maybe because of different values or maybe they just want something from you by pretending to be your friend. I hope your mom is not annoyed by this fake friend now.

@lilacskies You’re right, being sensitive means being kind to others, only those who are full of emotions are kind and sensitive. It’s not your mama’s fault, she should not be self-blamed, what the fake friend did is shameful! It’s she who should be blamed. The woman should think it over and will regret having lost such a kind-hearted and sincere friend. Anyway, I hope your mama will be happy again just like how she was before, for the best of herself and her beloved ones.

@maggiesunjuan You are so sweet. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. My mama is finally out of her bedroom to prepare dinner. She loves cooking so hopefully, she can distract herself with cooking and put this fake friend behind her and move on with her life. She can take this experience as a lesson and be more careful about her friendships going forward. She is kind and sensitive, and that's why she draw all kinds of people into her life and suffers betrayal like this. It's really sad to witness. I hope she can be more discerning in the future.

@lilacskies I’m assured to know your mama has distracted herself from this unpleasant experience by doing something she likes. She’s a good mother and you are also a good son. You two and other family members make a perfect family, caring for each other. Life is a journey, we always will encounter all kinds of different people and experience various relationships. I have had some unpleasant experiences from bad relationships and got myself recovered later. I have been taught a lot of different lessons, but still life is worthy to live, for we always will get new friendships and meet new good friends, just like what we are now. Hope you a good night!

You are welcome. We have bigger things to worry about than friends anyway. We need to survive first!

Yes, she did just that and even deleted her number from her phone. I'm sure that woman can go befriend and betray someone else!

I agree and another "friend" that irritates me is the one who will only call you when they want something.

Absolutely. These kinds of people should be cut off and avoided at all costs. They are nothing but trouble.

She already showed her true colors. There is no point in talking to her again. She will do this again and again anyway.
