Yes, that's kind off true. I don't lie to them about having their back, I lie to them about my opinion as I try to avoid conflict. I don't do it against my actual friends, just to people I'm forced to communicate with to function in society.
-
What is the difference between your friends and your actual friends? Because I thought we were talking about your friends and I also thought that friends are actual friends.
-
I actually like and help some of my friends, who do respect me, but others, who act like my friends but actually just bully and gaslight me, I just use for my own benefit (usually by pretending to be fine with it). Those assholes could help you, without you having to have any obligations to them.
-
Using people for your benefit also makes you a bad friend, and a questionable person.
It's also a step down the road to advocating for slavery.
Doing something really immoral to a person who mistreats you while pretending to be their friends is not the right way to deal with such situations.

It's true, but it doesn't change the fact they are an asshole. Also slavery is a bit of an extreme portrayal.
-
“They are an asshole” is not an excuse to use or exploit a person.
