The article delves into the complexities of friendships formed around charisma and charm, contrasting superficial connections with real trust and loyalty. It highlights how some individuals, though likable and sociable at first meeting, struggle to maintain long-term friendships due to deceitful behaviors. A personal anecdote illustrates the cycle of betrayal and solitude experienced by one individual who was always a reliable friend, ultimately leading to their decision to cut ties after repeated betrayals. It emphasizes the hollow nature of such relationships and the inevitable loneliness that follows when genuine connections are absent.
Very sociable, and quite likable upon first meeting, but they don't have any close friends, or most friends don't last too long.
My ex-friend had a lot of friends. But he was the biggest, chronic cheater and liar you would meet.
He would social hop from group to group just to gain from them. He never really did consider them friends.
During a period of reflection, he admitted that he was a shitty person and that I deserved more.
