8 signs that your friend uses you
Do you have a friendship that feels a little off? We all had that it took place. At first, it looks good and you are excited to see you, only to realize that you only see when you need a favor or want to help them with something. But it is better to realize that early until later and reduce the links with this person.
Do you have a friendship that feels a little off? We all had that it took place. At first, it looks good and you are excited to see you, only to realize that you only see when you need a favor or want to help them with something. It may be a moment of eye opening and let's be honest, it hurts. Nobody likes to feel used. But it is better to realize that early until later and reduce the links with this person. Take a look at these 8 signs that your friend uses you and if it looks like your friend - act accordingly.
1. They always need something
One of the most obvious ways you can see if your friend uses you is to analyze how often do you see them and is there a reason for that. If they do not meet you when it suits you, and they need help, or a favor on your part - it's a red flag. Sometimes it's not so obvious at the beginning. They might simply meet you to find you to go out, but inevitably the conversation directs towards the direction of their problems, then you find yourself help (because you are a nice person). If this happens every time, you are used.
2. They never arrive
If you notice that 99% of the time, it is you who initiates a conversation and that your friend never rushed to register first, it is likely that it's not really your friend. Friendship is supposed to be based on respect and mutual care, so if they do not care for themselves and their well-being and do not worry about asking how you are - it's a bad sign.
3. They snobbly online
It might seem a little stupid and childish but they are all addicted to social media, so that counts. Does your friend still forget to tag you in pictures? Or maybe they never include you in their photos or stories about Instagram. Post-they group photos where they look good, but it seems to have chosen the one where you look at the worst.
4. They do not give back
If you constantly help your friend and make them favorite and get them, it's a "thank you", you should think twice on your friendship. Are they still too busy when you need their help? It sounds a little suspicious do not you think?
5. They forget about you
When you have a conversation, they never care about asking how you are as long as you ask them and they talk about all this. They also forget to go out for this lunch with you who has been planned in advance and they literally forget that you were supposed to meet me on weekends. Yes, you know where it goes.
6. They never invite you
They are constantly talking about what they did with other friends or trips they continued, or the shows they have been, but they never invite you to come. That means they do not really care about it and you are hardly afterwards, just a listening ear and a person boast. You do not want people like that in your life.
7. They do not know you very well
If you have to continue to explain that is who is in your family or group of friends for 100 times, it means that they did not pay attention and they do not care. And when they give you gifts, they always seem very generic and random - it means they do not know you or do not care to know you better.
8. They manipulate you
A lot of time that people who use are great manipulators. They know exactly what to say, what topics to raise and what buttons push to make you do something you could have said no to. So, analyze their behavior and if they manipulate, you think about cutting links with them.
