Pearl has been talking about someone she considered a friend, only to find out that they are not really her friend.
This happens to be a thread topic I have considered starting for quite a while, and thank you, Pearl, now I am.
Do I have all the answers? No siree! But I do have some experiences, as do all of you.
I have known people whom I considered as friends, when what they really were, were users. If you knew me or my daughter, you would know people who would do more for you than anyone else. But not so much any more. I've cut a number of people loose, and I'll be one person who will be happy to be alone. I could be a hermit, honestly, rather than be around people who want to use, abuse, and backstab people.
Not everyone is your friend. They might smile in your face, while stabbing you in the back, all the while pretending to be your friend. Ring a bell to anyone here?
What about you? What experiences have you had with people whom you thought were friends, but were duplicitous in their behaviors, as in, not being the same person to your face and behind your back?
