Waking up this morning, I realized that there are two categories of people who stay in our lives that we may probably confuse for each other.They both have such a great similarity but they have a lot of difference as well.

### Analyzing The Similar But Different Categories.

The first category of people are those people who are always around us. These set of people claim to be our friends, they may probably stay with us because they feel they have something to benefit or sometimes they may have even seen something big coming, so they do not want to miss out and they decide to stay.

Taking a close look at this people, you will realize that, they have not added any positive value to your life, they have nothing meaningful to add to you, they are just around helping you to while away time.They do not care about the way you feel or even your problems.

These people too, may like your company, they may like the fact that you are funny, so they want to be around you, still adding nothing. The fact that they like your company does not make them have good intentions towards you and it has well does not make them care about your growth and development.

The second category of people are those who are always there for you, these people are the ones who have your best interest at heart, they are particular about your growth and success, all they want is to see you attain success.

These set of people do not just stay around you, rather they correct you, speak to you and love you for whom you are.
These are the people who are always available whenever you need a shoulder to lean on, they are always there for you through thick and thin and they should never be taken for granted.

Never confuse these two categories, study your friends and analyze them, this will help you know how you will place them and it will help you know whom you can confide in or otherwise.
