Not all friendships are built on love or loyalty-some are disguised in smiles but leave scars when the mask falls. Healing from fake friends begin with recognizing the signs: constant one-sidedness, betrayal or trust, passive-aggressive behaviour, or always feeling drained after interacting with them.
One of the hardest truths to accept is that some people only stay connected for what they can gain. When your success triggers envy instead of celebration, or your vulnerability is met with gossip instead of support, that's a red flag waving in plain sight.
The pain of betrayal is real. It's grief-not just for the person, but for the version of the friendship you thought you had. But within that pains lies the seed of wisdom. These experiences teach you to trust your intuition, set boundaries, and value sincerity over popularity.
Moving on doesn't mean bitterness; it means choosing peace. Disconnect from their access, but not from your ability to love again. Surround yourself with people who uplift, understand, and genuinely want to see you win.
Healing is a journey of self-respect. Let go, forgive, and walk boldly into friendships that mirror the love you gave. The real ones never leave you questioning your worth-they remind you of it.
This is what I am facing right now but thank God for this article. I will learn to move on and not allow those that don't value my friendship drain my energy.
I have decided to stay aloof from fake friends.
