identifying fake friends can sometimes be tricky, especially when they like the fake smile in your face. here are some ways to identify a fake friend. one, watch who doesnt seem or look happy when something good happens in your life, for example, when you have done something good, or got the job you always wanted, and you tell your friends, watch whos face doesnt seem so happy, who doesnt congratulate you. those are fake friends. second, knowing how someone is fake is when someone talks bad about you behind your back. third, they say they care, but they dont, they dont check on you or anything.
