Are They Being Real With You Or Are They Hating?
How to spot a hater.
This is one question we all cannot simply give an answer to when we’re asked about our friends, especially because it is hard to figure out who is who in our lives until situations force us to see them clearly for who they are and not what they pose to be or who our imaginations project them to be.
When the chips are down that’s when we need the support of a friend — a hand to squeeze and an ear to listen to us when we talk.
It becomes heartbreaking when we cannot hear their voice anymore when we need to hear it the most.
We don't only feel alone when this happens, we also feel betrayed. And there’s nothing more depressing than the feeling of utter abandonment by the ones we think will forever hold our hand through life.
On the other hand, we feel betrayed because we didn’t expect that from them. And that’s because our expectations were built on who we thought they were.
So I have come up with certain behaviors of haters who disguise as friends.
They are those friends who always want what you have.
We all at some point in our lives have met with such people. They didn’t mention any Gucci bag or show any kind of interest in it till you bought it.
