If you can’t trust a friend, then are they really a true friend at all? Real friends have qualities you can count on like being kind, dependable and loyal, a true shoulder you can lean on. Fake friends, AKA evil ones, have mastered the art of deception. They appear genuine and supportive, but it’s just an act to draw you in. Then, they will not only say nice things to your face then mean things behind your back, they tell your secrets to anyone willing to listen. They will continually bail on you, proving that they are not genuine friends at all. They might even see you as a threat or a rival, and they will spread rumors to hurt your reputation. These rumors and outright lies can be devasting and can wreck your reputation and career. Next thing you know, they’ve created a small army of gossipers spreading rumors that do not only hurt you but also negatively affect the entire workplace.
