The fake friends I have know me and talk to me, but only when they need something from me. In reality, we are completely different, as they only want to discuss trivial matters like new restaurants, birthdays, and other irrelevant aspects of their lives. I have no desire to be around them either, and I am not actively involved in their lives. We only meet occasionally, and that's the extent of our interaction. However, there was a time when I used to spend a lot of time with them. They would come to my house to pick me up and go to a tea place to chat. But when I declined their invitations, they stopped coming and contacting me altogether.
The fake friend is still a part of my day-to-day life. Recently, they joined the gym, and I've been helping them with some training or, rather, providing guidance. However, deep down, I am aware that this person is still the fake friend I've come to recognize.
The business friends are better than the first group because we mutually benefit from each other and have respect for one another. Perhaps our relationship is not as personal, but when we are in the company of others, we give value to our friends. We share a similar mindset, discussing our plans and work-related matters first, and then engaging in light-hearted conversations to unwind. However, as always, these friendships tend to be temporary, solely focused on business matters, and eventually fade away.
Lastly, the real friends, who are truly rare, hold a special place in my life. They consistently value me, show respect, and make an effort to dedicate their time to talk with me. It's possible that we don't always share the same mindset, but that's perfectly fine because our bond is strong. Whenever I plan a vacation, I would always choose to spend it with my real friends, rather than the business associates or fake friends.
