Not everyone who smiles at you is a friend.
Some come into your life just to use you, watch you, copy you, or destroy you quietly.
They come when things are easy.
They show up when it’s beneficial to them.
They know how to sweet talk, how to blend in, how to pretend they care.
But when things get hard, they disappear.
And when you no longer serve their purpose, they turn bitter.
They complain more than they contribute.
They gossip more than they support.
They want to be part of your life just to take, never to give.
They take your time, your kindness, your energy, and repay it with jealousy, manipulation, excuses, and silence.
They lie.
They gaslight.
They twist stories and play victim.
And when you finally pull away, they make you the bad one.
Some of them will wrong you and never say sorry.
Some will receive so much from you and never say thank you.
Some will mess up and blame you for their guilt.
And some will throw away the friendship over a misunderstanding they created in their own head.
But here’s the truth:
“Indeed, Allah does not guide the plan of traitors.”
(Surah Yusuf 12:52)
You don’t need people in your life who wear masks.
Who act kind, but hide envy.
Who are loud when you make a mistake, but silent when you’re hurting.
Real Friendship Has Value. Fake Ones Are Just Noise.
True friends hold you when you’re down, even when they have nothing to gain.
They don’t walk away when you're struggling.
They don’t ignore your messages when you're not at your best.
They don’t switch sides because someone else gave them a better offer.
Fake friends only show up for benefits, gossip, or access.
They don’t want you - they want what you have.
They want your peace, your strength, your success, your light, because it reminds them of everything they don’t have within themselves.
Let them go.
You don’t owe anyone your time, your money, your attention, your help - especially those who used you, judged you, or betrayed you.
“And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
(Surah Az-Zalzalah 99:8)
So if they’ve lied about you, blocked you, spread rumors, turned others against you - let them.
You don’t have to fight back. God saw it all.
What To Do When People Show Their True Colours:
Stop begging for clarity - confusion is already your answer.
Don’t chase apologies from people who don’t even value the hurt they caused.
Let their absence be a blessing - sometimes, rejection is protection.
Protect your peace. You deserve that.
You’re not bitter - you’re aware.
You’re not cold - you’re healing.
You’re not lonely - you’re clearing space for people who are real.
In the End, Protect Your Circle
Be kind - but don’t let your kindness be a weakness.
Be generous - but don’t give your whole soul to people who wouldn’t even lift a finger for you.
You’re allowed to outgrow people who never grew with you.
You’re allowed to cut off people who only bring stress, chaos, and confusion.
Let them do what they do best - disappear, lie, block, twist, gossip, pretend.
Because in the end, none of it matters. God knows the truth.
And people like that?
“They plot, but Allah is the best of planners.”
(Surah Al-Anfal 8:30)
Let them go. Let God deal with them.
You? Focus on building real, sincere, peaceful relationships.
One real friend is worth more than a thousand fake ones.
