You must know how hard it is to find a true friend. They don’t lay down on the street for you to pick up them easily.

An honest friendship is built on trust and mutual respect. That’s why not everyone is your friend – not everybody is loyal, and they have their own reasoning not to be your friend.

You first need to know how to distinguish from the bad ones.

Not everyone is your friend means that not everybody respects and cares about you. They don’t take in consideration your problems, opinions, and don’t try to find compromises that would benefit you.

A true friend will always stand by your side and support you. He/She will never abandon or betray you.

On the other hand, a fake friend will try to sabotage and take advantage of you. Such behavior is never acceptable in a true friendship.

People that possess negative thinking focus on worst possible outcomes in situations in life. Instead of focusing on positive outcomes, they constantly worry about the worst scenarios and start overthinking. Their mind rejects to think positively.

If you have ‘friends’ like that who contact you during their worst times when they need emotional support, they are not your friends.

These people are energy and mood vampires that seek to recharge themselves by shifting all the negativities off their shoulders onto you.

Note that it’s completely okay to drown in negative thoughts from time to time. It happens for almost everyone, especially when you face stressful situations for the first time.

However, such behavior shouldn’t repeat itself too often. It should be a very rare occasion. If it happens that your ‘friend’ contacts you frequently for emotional support, he needs to fix this problem asap.

You can always contact your true friends if you need to get something off your mind. They will always pat on your back and give some good advice.

As a contrast, not everyone is your friend if they don’t have time or show no interest in your feelings and well-being.

If they feel no empathy for you and boast about themselves how they would handle the situation better, that’s not a healthy friendship at all. They don’t understand you and never will.

Not everyone is your friend and certainly hypocrites are not one of those who you should keep in your close social circle. They will try to embarrass you and underline your weak lines.

Thank you …. Sweet words don’t mean trust.

Have you ever encountered someone that sugar coats everything?

They certainly have mastered the art of uplifting other people’s ego.

They know how to make approach you and make you feel appreciated and worthy. They make a lot of promises, and they look fantastic in front of your eyes at that very moment.

It’s completely fine to do that, as long as they are keeping their word and do everything they say. However, it often happens that they don’t keep the promise and forget everything.

I knew one person that did that for a few years in my life. And let me tell you – I didn’t appreciate such behavior at all. I have to agree that the person is in his own league and was exceptionally good at that.

Nonetheless, it has no meaning. Actions speak louder than words. Never settle for less than you deserve.

You see, all people are self-centered. Yes, exactly – everyone. people are in-born being ego-centric. People believe they know themselves the best.

While being self-centered is apparently unavoidable, the ego-centric levels vary from individual to individual. When people are extremely self-centered, that’s when it becomes a problem.

Do you want to add a word or two?

Not everyone is your friend, especially the extreme versions of self-centered people. They try to take all of the attention to themselves. They are not interested in you.

In addition, they hide their vulnerabilities and will never fully open to you. The worst thing about all of this is that they see themselves as the best and no one can compare to them.

That’s definitely not a type of friend that you would want to have.

Some people are simply selfish and will do everything to achieve their goals. Naturally people are egocentric. They look after their own needs and care very little about you.

For example, not everyone is your friend at work. A lot of them will step over your head to climb career ladders and to look better in front of the management.

Your comments….

It turns out that people who are feeling powerless have more empathy towards other people. On the flip side, when people feel powerful, they have less empathy.

People with power lose ability to understand what it’s like to feel powerless. They detach themselves from reality due to their ego. Their scope and view of the world changes dramatically.

After obtaining power these people will start threatening you, take control over your life and actions. These people are very deceiving, because you never know how their true colors will come out.

In either way, you should be careful and trust your guts. If you see any signs of superiority complex, run away from these people.

Not everybody is your friend, especially people that try to gain everyone’s respect. They try to make friends with everyone.

They just simply have no self-respect and have no existing filter what their true friends should look like. These people want to be at the center of attention.

Such people will come to you being overly friendly, spending a little bit time with you and then going away to the next person. They will repeat the same strategy over and over again.

In other words, these people are untrustworthy and will never be your loyal friends. They will sell their soul just to look good in front of others.

You can’t trust them and provide them with your personal information. You can only discuss with them on the surface level.
