I’ll be explaining why some people consider friendship to only be legit if it has a purpose or benefit.

Why do some people consider friendship to only be legit if it has a purpose or benefit?

It’s because those people pretend they’re friends for their own benefit most of the time.

They have a need to stay close with whatever person befriends them.

Real friendship is a perk that keeps us healthy.

The goal should be finding and becoming a genuinely good friend when friendship’s pursued.

People that strive for that type of life usually ends up living the most enriched kind as a result.

Why do people choose to be fake friends?

People choose to be fake friends as a way to boost their own self-worth.

There’s a selfishness that’s usually behind the motive and makes up the character of the sketchy individual.

It’s an unpopular opinion but a majority of the people in the world aren’t for you as a friend.

There are signs however when it comes to identifying these people that can be real wolves in sheep skin.

Some of them go as follows:

• They’ll set boundaries for themself early on without even caring to understand or work towards respecting yours
• They might not support you in situations that call for a real friend to step in on
• There’s also “friends” that are overly competitive and make everything seem a win or lose situation against them
• Another is making you feel bad one way or another

What I believe is the true purpose of friendship

You’ve probably been told to believe that the true purpose of friendship is pushing you to be your best.

Unfortunately I got a that might come across as cynical in sharing that friendship in reality is a fallacy.

That view could be just a reflection of my own experiences but so far it’s proving to be true.

If we stick to the positive message that comes with belief of friendship that’s real being possible then it outshines the others.

By the other ones I mean relationships that are above and below the line of friendship.

So that includes acquaintances all the way to legal unions.

Friendships are meant to help us change and grow.

If each party’s helping the other remain accountable throughout all experiences that come their way then that’s friendship’s ideal.

Final thoughts

Here’s why some people consider friendship to only be legit if it has a purpose or benefit again:

• Most people start off in a place where they fake the relationship to begin with
• There’s a underlying codependency that’s in the relationship

It gets scary when relationships past friendship become superficial to the point where this scenario’s present.

I add that point because if we imagine intimate relationships and things alike only coming about from materialistic or even monetary benefits things get tricky.

Most relationships and partnerships in general are supposed to have a benefit that comes about but when it’s led that way there’s a lot of things that get faked as a result.
