8 Signs a "Friend" is a Social Climber accd to psychologytoday.com

According to psychologytoday.com there are 8 ways to see if you have a social climber friend.

 1) She's Status Driven - The individual makes friends based on whom another person knows or what another person has.

"Wow, may porsche tong si girlaloo. I-friend ko nga ito para kapag makikiride ako Porsche."

2) She's a Name Dropper - They can't resist telling you about the important people they know, or the important person someone they know knows. They're eager to find out the names of people you know who fits that profile, too.

"Hey you, yes you! Alam mo bang friends kami ni Ano. Oh anong say mo don?"

3) She's Overly Concerned with Appearances - These individuals go to great lengths to look like "they belong" and make sure that you and other people they hang out with do, too. They flaunt designer labels and attention-drawing accessories proudly.

"Hey you, anong fake ka jan? Kapal ng fez mo. This is a Chanel bag. Poorlita ka, Lacoste ka lang."

4) She's a Selective Friend Poacher - If you introduce them to someone in your social circle, they may hijack the friendship to get closer to a more important or accomplished person than you.

"Wow naman, girl. Alam mo ba si Ano di masyadong type yang japorms mo. Baduyish daw. Buti pa ako, i love your designer clothes. Sisterettes forever!"

5) She's a User - They try to use your accomplishments and/or connections for their own benefit. The intensity and persistence of their approach goes well beyond what might be called appropriate "social networking."

"Hey girl, friend ko itong is blank. We both like cruising along the Carribean. Maybe we should go together samtayms."

6) She Lacks Empathy - They accumulate "friends" in large numbers who they really don't know well or don't connect with on an intimate level. In general, they tend to be narcissistic and self-centered.

"I hab so many fwends out there. Hmmm, sino ba pede ayain dito sa mga poorlitang to magmall there in the Greenbelt."

7) She's Unreliable - They wait until the last minute to confirm or cancel a social invitation in case they receive a better offer.

"Hay nako, girl di ako sure. Baka kasi I have a dinner party with the you know who. Talo ka dun, girl. Mas mayaman yun so k thanks bye."

8) She's a Queen Bee - They try to control social circles and have no qualms about dumping, substituting and excluding a "friend" from the group. They may resort to belittling and gossiping to get the job done.

"Hoy ikaw, paki kamot my super flawless back na pinakinish ko pa with Belo powers. Ayaw mo? Fayn. Get out there. "
