When children are growing up, they are warned to pick their friends very carefully. Most “friends” are not really friends, but just out to use people. What is overlooked is that even adults need to pick their friends very carefully.
In adulthood, the stakes get much higher, as money, and even lives, could be at risk. More often than not, adults learn the hard way about fake friends. But, this presents a Catch 22, of sorts, because people need connections with other people.
Sashe R’ki (@DaMonkeyBaby) shared to Twitter a story of how costly fake friends could be. In her case, her life was nearly lost, and the day began with brunch. After having brunch with friends, she woke up in the hospital, with restraints and bandaids, from where she was injected with morphine, and nobody has answers for her.
