When you realize that people you thought were friends who turned out to be nothing of a friend, it hurts.

Recently someone made up lies about me. 2 people I used to think were friends-a couple-believed the lies right off the bat. I tried to tell them my side, but they wouldn’t even listen. I couldn’t even finish a single sentence before they’d interrupt me so they could judge me, tell me how I was doing everything wrong, putting me down, and accused me of lying when I was telling the truth.

These people have brought nothing but pain, heartache and negativity in my life for the past 2 years. At first they were very nice and I cared for them a lot. I did a lot for them. But got so much pain in return.

For example-the woman had surgery and I spent money I couldn’t really afford at Bath and Body works and brough dinner to her home. When I had surgery she didn’t so much as call or email me to ask how I was.

Every Christmas for the past 3 years I have gotten them gifts and they’ve gotten me nothing. This past Christmas the woman was angry and holding a grudge over something petty that happened in JUNE and gave everyone in church a Christmas card EXCEPT me. This rejection hurt and despite her grudge I still got them Christmas gifts.

They are always making comments and saying things to put me down and insult me. And these people call themselves Christians, yet they live on their high horse. I wonder if they informed God that they are going to take his place on Judgement Day.

If a TRUE friend hears lies or stories about a friend, they will definitely want to hear the friend’s side of the story. And if they are TRUE friends, whether they know the whole story or nothing of the story, they still will love you and not judge you.

Well I have purged these people from my lives who have brought so many tears, pain, rejection, and heartache.

It’s time to get rid of the negative and replace it with positive.

If you have fake friends in your life or people who are always putting you down and causing pain and negativity, the best thing to do is just get them out of your life and move on with your own life. Don’t try to please them and don’t worry about what they think about you. They have no power over you unless you give it to them.

Sometimes such as if you must work or go to school with a person like this, the best thing to do is ignore them and have nothing to do with them and focus on your own life to keep the negativity out of your life.

Everyone probably runs across people they thought were friends but later found out they were never friends in the first place. It hurts, but it’s best to get them out of your life as soon as possible.
