Tasha Smith Says That Only Fake Friends Get Paranoid When They Don’t Hear From You Because They Talk Behind Your Back!

Cousins! Navigating friendships as an adult can definitely be a slippery slope these days as you often have to weed out the real from the fake, the people who are are around for a reason verses the folks that are there for a season. However, good hearted people often find one another!

While appearing at the Strength of A Woman summit in NYC, for Mother’s Day weekend, Tasha Smith kept it all the way real while discussing sisterhood and navigating friendships in today’s climate.

The actor and director says fake friends often show their true face based on their behavior.

“——they’re the ones that get more paranoid when they don’t hear from you.”

Tasha says that if you haven’t heard from a friend due to busy schedules and everyday life it doesn’t automatically mean that there is bad blood between y’all because it’s natural. She warned that women who jump to conclusions that there is an issue because you didn’t speak in a while are the ones to keep an eye out for.

“It’s like baby girl we’re cool why would you think something is wrong?”

Tasha added, “ If I don’t talk to Taraji I don’t think something is wrong. I know she’s busy, I know she loves me and I know when I see her we are going to pick up like we did last week.”

She continues, “ But when you have that girl that asks you ‘are we good?’ you have to ask them “ARE WE GOOD?”

Social media users poured into our comment section in agreement as they discussed having low-maintenance friendships as adults.

“ Man Bless for my ride or dies because we can go months and not talk to each other but when we do, it’s like no time has passed and trust when I reach out it’s like putting out a bat signal,” wrote a social media user.

“Agreed! Let’s be clear if you’re my friend and you don’t wish me a happy birthday; we are no longer friends! Please don’t call, text or say sorry especially. If I went out of my way to tell you happy birthday, get you a gift, happy mother’s day, check on you and your child or fam, etc. There’s no beef, I just know where I stand and I’m out of your way! You won’t be able to reach me,” wrote another user.

Tasha went on to advise members of the audience “If you want a good friend, show yourself friendly.” While adding that the keys to a strong friendship are “loyalty, commitment and not gossiping behind one another’s back.”
