Friends With Benefits (FWB)

 There are personalities in life we will never forget. We will always miss their presence, and we will always wish they were around because of the positive aura they carried. This is so true of certain persons but on the contrary, there are also human beings that behave like parasites.

These are the friends with benefits. The fair-weather friends.

This is our outline for this post and not the other way round (sexual intimacy kind of thing).

Quickly note, it's not everybody you should be mak friends off and certainly, not everyone will want to be your friend.

A quick review list of what friends with benefits look like;

1. They are never around when they are needed the most.

2. They always have excuses for not always being around.

3. They are good at lying. It's quite easy for them.

4. They always have excuses for not wanting to assist.

5. They are always present when the going becomes good. It's like they possess antennas or something to detect when it's all smooth and running fine.

6. They don't offer a helping hand for free. Something is always attached to it secretly, even when they pretend to be of help.

7. They act closest to you, all good, all kind, all creative, all better, all amazing just to get what they want off you.

This list shouldn't become a rule or a principle. Some people are kind, real, amazing and still genuine friends. What we focus here on is, when this friend has all of these criteria above and many more not on the list added to it. It becomes a parasitic relationship and you're sure not benefiting from it.
