For most of us, we learn all about those two-faced people who do us dirty from an early age. You know exactly the ones we are talking about. Fakes, frenemies, phonies—AKA fake people. Fake people weasel their way into our lives and always leave a lasting impression in our minds for the lessons they teach us.
While we are grateful to have learned them, these lessons are often upsetting, and at times, even heartbreaking. But, thankfully, we move on and learn when to keep our guards up. And not only this, but we learn to cherish those friends that we do have in our lives that reward us with honesty, loyalty, and true friendship.
Sometimes these fake people who come into our lives are friends, other times, lovers, and worst of all, family members. Because then we must learn to distance ourselves, but the reality of eliminating them completely from our lives can be quite tricky.
Enjoy reading these fake people quotes to help you value lessons learned, and have gratitude for all the truly good people in your life today.
