I hate it when people say they’re trying to be your friend. You shouldn’t have to try to be somebody’s friend. Either you like someone or you don’t. Either you want them as a friend or not. Making friends isn’t like trying for the lead in the school play. Emily Wing Smith
About This Quote

Those who try to be your friend are people who want something from you. They want to take advantage of you, they want to see how much they can get from you before you turn on them. They are people who are not there for friendship or fun or laughs, but to use you for their own ends.
