Signs your
friends aren’t really friends
1. You have to be someone else around them
If you feel like you have to be someone other than your normal self around your friends then chances are they aren’t your real friends. We all know this feeling. You go out with these people but you feel like you need to dress or talk differently in order to fit in.

These people aren’t your friends. These people are tools you
are using to try and be more popular. And this type of pursuit won’t get you
anywhere at all. Next time you meet up with a “friend” take a look at your own
mind and behavior and see if you are falling into this trap.
2. You gossip more
Gossip is a terrible thing. It hurts other people and it makes you feel bad about yourself in the long run. One sure sign that your friends aren’t really your friends is when you find that you gossip more around them.

Gossip is, unfortunately, the product of many bad
friendships. Often times we meet with people and, after running out of things
to talk about, we start talking about the mistakes that other people have made.
If you’re friends are making you gossip more it might be time to switch
company.
3. You’re moving further away from your goals
Everyone has goals that they want to achieve. Some people want to buy a nice big house, other people want to travel and some of us want a good career. Whatever your goal in life is it should be supported by your friends. They should help you get closer and closer to this goal.

If your friends are taking you further away from your goals
then you really need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself if they are
the best thing for you.
4. You don’t notice any positive qualities growing
One thing that you will find happens quite naturally when you hang out with good friends is that your positive qualities will grow and flourish. If you find that no new positive qualities are developing and, in fact, you are developing some negative traits then it is time to be worried.

Friends should bring out the best in you. They should help
you to reach new heights, not bring you down to their problems. Take a look at
how you feel during and after meeting your acquaintances and see what is going
on with you.
