At this time in my life, yes, my friends are true friends.
I choose my friends cautiously, and I don't let very many people get to know the real me. I could probably count, on one hand, those who know the real me.
I used to have lots of so-called friends back when I was younger, but I finally realized that there were a lot of snakes in disguise, and I weeded out those fakers and backstabbers, those who were better at getting me into trouble rather than keep me out of trouble.
