... if you thought a close friend of yours was being fake would you tell them?






Maybe this friends thinks you're an opinionated/judgemental mood killer ... are you being told this by your friend?

Or is your friend just overlooking your bad qualities?


If you don't like fake, then move on ... your job is to move your life around to where it is surrounding by things you like .. your job in life isn't to try and mold someone you don't like in an attempt to fit you.


How old are you?

A friendship isn't a real friendship if both people in it can't be 100% honest with eachother when it counts

Yes, being too blunt or insensitive when confronting an issue can strain a friendship BUT SO CAN not being real when something bothers you!

Delivery is everything. It's not so much WHAT you say, but moreso HOW you say something. And if that person is a true friend, they'll appreciate your honesty vs. knocking you for it.

Pick your battles. If this is an issue that's been going on for quite some time, you should address it b/c it's not fair to you to keep letting something marinate if it's truly bothering you

Sit that person down, address your concerns in as less a confrontational tone as possible & just hope for the best.

If they get defensive, angry or cut you off, it'll suck BUT atleast you'd be away to walk away knowing that you 1. Did your part 2. Told them to their face vs. going behing their back & 3. Feeling sorry for anyone who'd prefer a friendship that lacks communication

You all have some really strong points. Thank you so much I appreciate it. What P-Angel said is how I've been handling it as of now with that same outlook. And you're right, I don't want to come off as judgemental or like I'm trying to mold them to my standards. What krysrenee7 said touches more to home though and that's why I'm so torn. Ignore the problem or confront it? Think of them or think of me? Is there way to do both? Haha
