Have you ever felt like someone wasn’t being real with you?

What’s the definition of a friend? Afriendis “a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations,” and also, “a person who supports a cause, organization, or country by giving financial or other help.”

Here is a video that shows ten ways to detect who is a toxicfriend 🙁 (click on toxic and go to 1:00-1:02) and who is a good friend (:

The youtube videoby Bright Side named “10 differences by good friends and toxic friends”gives information on how to identify the fakes from the reals. Even though there are different types of friendships and different ways to identify a real friend, here are the basics. As mentioned in the video, good friends celebrate your successes while other “friends” would not support you. Sometimes the most joyful moments in a person’s life is spent with their loved ones, such as family and friends. Friends can be a part of your life for the good or for the bad. It’s your choice to choose the reals or the fakes.
