How do you know if someone is truly your friend or just acting like it?

A female United Kingdom age 16-17, anonymous writes:

How do you know who your friends are? I mean, I have friends, but I don't know which ones are actual friends and which ones are just people I get on well with. I've never had friends, so i don't really know. They're nice, make me laugh, etc. On the other hand, we never meet up out of college, they rarely get in contact with me on Facebook or text. I can't tell when I'm being used and taken advantage of.

What makes it even harder is that we are all acting students and met in September 2011 (but some have been on acting courses longer). So if it wasn't difficult to tell when they're being genuine, it's even more complicated because we all like acting and there's no bigger ego boost than someone believing you when you're acting - even if it's in real life :-/

Often you can't. You just gave to trust. And if you can't give someone that then you shouldn't be calling them friends.

Dear Mandy agony auntHI

I would tend to look for friends that are not into acting classes like your self, As I agree it would be a good ego boost if they are acting there freindship and you fall for it. You know when you have a great freind when they are there for you as much as you are for them, when they give you good advice , not what you want to hear, when your sad they will do there best to cheer you up, and make you laugh, and most of all they would do anything for you without question ( withing reason ) lol. thats what any real freind would be like.
