I'm not sure what a fake friend is... I have a handful of close friends and numerous acquaintances of various degrees of closeness, but no friends that I would call fake.

Perhaps I picked an inappropriate word for your liking. Maybe pretentious would have been a better word but the quote Tish posted didn’t say that. I’ll happily give you an example; people will brag about the hundreds of friends they have on Facebook.

Anyway Starsong is there any particular reason why you didn’t question Tish about this? She posted the quote. It’s merely a quote that resonated with me. Clearly it didn’t with you and I’m ok with that.

I'm sorry - I missed Tish's quote. Wasn't attacking you, and it certainly isn't the first time I've heard the term "fake friends." For some reason, reading it this time made me question the expression. Dealing with "fake" friends seems very high school - you're thrown together with folks you don't like or trust, but have to play the game.

With age I've learned to quickly purge fake friends from my life.

Seems very high school? Exactly my point. 💁‍♀️
You say you didn’t understand the term , yet your last sentence proves you clearly do.

Apology accepted.

I know what a fake friend is. Have lots of fake friends. They claim to be your friend but are in fact not. It's all a bunch of lip service so they can use you till they're done with you. Lifetime of experience with this type of friend.

I probably should have said that in an adult context I don't understand the term.

Of course you do. How people might present themselves on open forum isn’t necessarily the way they present themselves behind the scenes

THAT is more high school than anything I can think of and another example of fake or pretentiousness. I hope this clear things up some.
