The kind of friends you keep, truly defines who you are. To avoid spending your entire lifetime watering dead plant, you must take out time to audit your friends.

Here is how it works, take a break from social media for few weeks. This time no Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, and X formerly known as Twitter, just relax, don't visit anyone during this period. After doing this, watch and wait to see who asked after you, those that check up on you to confirm if you are Ok, observe those who come to visit you.
Those who check up on you when they do not hear from you are your true friends, the rest are just passengers. They passengers will just be hanging on to you as long as they are benefiting from you, or you have something to offer from them. It could be money, gossip, company or validation.
They will only be with you because they need something from you. People that never came to inquire when you disappeared, will only appear when they they hear of your own success, that's is just life.
Test your friends from time to time, know the ones that would stand by you. Don't wait till when you are in trouble before you know who is your true friends.
