 Here are seven things that only a fake friend would do. 1. They talk about you behind your back. Fake friends will talk trash about you and spread rumors about you when you're not looking. 2. They throw you under the bus. When the going gets tough, fake friends pin the blame on you if it means saving their own skin. 3. They constantly cancel on you. Was there something you were looking forward to doing with them, but they never even bothered to show up? Your so-called friends never keep their word. You can't ever count on them. 4. They exclude you from their plans. Do you feel excluded from group activities more often than not? Even if you go out of your way to invite them or tell them about your plans, they just don't do the same for you. 5. They call just to ask you for favors. Fake friends think it's okay to ghost you for weeks only to pop up and ask you for a favor. They're just using you to help fix their problem. 6. They give you backhanded compliments. To subtly put you down by making it sound like praise, it's a way to criticize you without being too obvious about it. 7. They only talk about themselves. Fake friends are self-absorbed and inconsiderate. They don't care much about you or what you have to say.
