    I have done that many times, but not for that reason.

    • What sort of reason? Do you mind sharing?

        Normally is is to appear normal so I can in a way remain undetected, hidden. I don't focus on relationships so that helps me a bit.

        Sometimes there is a different reason depending on he person. Though all reasons are either some form of self gain or for protection of that person.

    Yeah, this is how I was able to avoid a lot of problems. I lived in a really bad neighborhood and the cholos found me cute and personable. Some people might call me "fake" but if I can't beat them, I'm likely to join them. It worked very well for me.

    I have also befriended people because I was friends with their friends. I didn't care much for them but I liked my friends and sometimes it's necessary to just get over yourself to keep the flow going.

    And I have also made friends with people because they were children of my friends (usually around my age). I was raised to believe that showing anything less than friendliness towards the.child is an insult to the parent, forcing them to take sides and I couldn't put a friend in that position.

  • Boo!

    Um, What if you befriended someone with the intentions of being their friend but later you started feeling like they weren't really your friend more like acquaintance and you left the relationship that way, would that be considered fake-friends? There were also friends I had just to pass time where I was friendly with people just because I was bored and needed someone to pass the time with, they probably thought I was their friend but to me they nothing but convenient acquaintance but Its not like I was mean to them. I was extra nice to those kind of people just kept alot of distance that created a barier. Yeah, I know I can be shallow sometimes and I guess I'm picky with friends. I dont think I made friends because they are so crazy and horrid that I'd rather have them as a "friend" than an enemy but I dont know if I were in a situation like that the first thing I'd do is avoid that person as much as possible.

    Yes but not for that reason (Actually I tend to befriend the crazy/weird or who others might say is ''horrid'' because they interest me the most and are usually my kind of person) but basically just so I don't stand out as a ''loner''

    I know some dangerous people and I am not unpleasant to them. I don't try to make friends with them but when they want to be friends it can be very difficult to decline without becoming enemies.

    I get where you're coming from.

    I think the best thing is to try to be dull or painfully religious.

  • never, and i drive away "fake friends" as soon as i get a hint of some other motives involved.

    Almost every single friendship I have is faked. I can't stand most of them, but it beats being alone with them as enemies. There's only two people in this world I consider my true friends and even they irritate me.

    I befriended an enemy just so that there were no hard feelings between us..
    I didn't like the person but having him as a "hi,hello" friend was nice..

    I have had fake friends but only because I felt sorry for them for some reason or I felt to bad to let them go

    I would never fake a friendship. I've experienced it enough to hate myself for it. I wouldn't want to do that to anyone else.

  • I had people befriend me because they thought i was "valuable" to them. Lolz this one dude was ultra nice to me one day, we hanged out for a couple of days, and then i found out he was about to get jumped by a couple of people.

    He then tried to get me to fight with him. He said "dude if it was you i would totally help if you got jumped, your my homie."

    Long story short, i let him get beat up lmao.

    WTF, no.

    That seems like a pointless waste of time and energy.

  • I've faked a friendship if I knew that person would be valuable to me in the future, never out of fear.

    If I don't like a person I wouldn't consider them a friend.

  • No. I do however befriend most people to be able to have a group to mold in to instead of just being a loner and seen as an "outcast". There is only one person I actually like as a friend, only one.

      I do that with groups very often. I will only really like one or two people but I'll be cool to everyone so I can fit in with the group. I try to be cool to everyone irl anyway, although there are a few people that have more than earned my "cold shoulder".

      • Yeah, I see what you mean. I only really like one person in real life, but the rest I usually just don't care about. There aren't very much that I exactly hate, maybe one or two, if even that.

          I typically don't hate people. I wish I could say that it is for some inspiring moral reason but usually, if someone evokes strong negative emotion from me, it's temporary at best =\

          • Exactly the same. I just get over it unless it has an active effect on my life in general.
