What? Why would you even judge your friends, right? This is exactly what you would think when you read the headline. However, if you are hanging out with too many people and this is draining your resources, you can do better by cutting out a few people off your life and being with the good ones only.

In fact, being in an unhealthy friendship would only cause troubles later. So if you want to judge who your true friends are here are some of the tricks that you can follow:

  • Different people have different priorities in life. However, most true friends find some or the other way to stay connected and this is what makes them special. Find out about the people who can spare at least a minute in a week to make a phone call or chat with you on messenger. These are the people whom you can truly trust.
  • If you consider a few people your friends, call them and see if they can take some time out of their busy schedule to talk to you. If they do not pick up the call and do not call back, call them again later. If they do not return your call back, you need to part ways with such people. Nobody in the world is so busy to not be able to spare even a minute. As I said, people have priorities.
  • They say, you need to stop jumping oceans for people who would not even jump puddles for you, and this is absolutely correct. When you wholeheartedly help people but you do not get help from them in the needful times, such people are not your friends.
  • Are there some people who like to stay with you just because you have a lot of money? Well, try not feeding them and paying for their expenses. Such people will automatically go away from your life.

These are some of the tricks that can help you judge your friends in your life. It is better not to waste your time and resources on people who hardly care about you.
