Half of Your Friends Don't Like You

Boy did I learn this the hard way. According to a new study, half of your friends do not actually like you! The study had people make a list of their friends and mark down whether or not they were close friends. Then the researchers went to the person listed and asked them how they felt about the person who made the list.

Half of the people said completely the opposite of what the other person thought. You may think that someone is your good friend, someone to confide in and get advice from. In reality, they see you as an acquaintance or worse yet, they hate your very existence.

That would be a surprise to a lot of us, I know it was me! Even out of all the people in the study, 95% of them thought their friendships were mutual. After realizing what was going on behind my back I have gotten to the point where I just don't talk to anyone really. Which is sad, you can't trust anyone. Keep your shields up friends.

Take my word for it! Most likely someone who you thought was your friend is talking smack behind your back!
