9. Real friends stick around through thick and thin
Real friends tend to stick around when you are passing through difficult situations in life, but you have to search around for fake friends before seeing them at a time like this. You don’t search for true friends when you need them – they are always around you; but fake friends are like pop-up nuisances.
Meanwhile, true friends will always alert you to approaching difficulties before they emerge because they are always watching out for you, whereas fake friends just plod on with you until it is too late.
