by Let’s be honest — not everyone who smiles with you is standing for you.
Some people love your light, but hate when it shines brighter than theirs.
So how do you tell who’s real?
Watch what happens when you fall.
The fake ones disappear when you’re no longer fun, but the real ones quietly show up — no questions, no judgment, just presence.
A real friend doesn’t compete, gossip, or use your pain for conversation.
They defend you in rooms you’re not in. They remember the small things you never expected them to.
They tell you the truth even when it hurts, because they care more about your growth than your comfort.
You don’t have to test people — just observe.
Time exposes what words try to hide.
In the end, a real friend doesn’t make you doubt their loyalty.
They make you feel safe, seen, and understood — even in silence.
