Fair-weather friends love forecasts. Watch who texts you when it’s raining.

Good times attract company and trouble filters it. When things are going well for you, plenty of people want to be nearby, and that is not fake exactly, it is just easy. The real information arrives on the bad week, when you got dropped from the team or home is a mess and there is nothing fun about being around you.

You do not need to test anybody on purpose. Just remember who checked in the last time things went sideways, and put your energy there. When somebody else is having the bad week, be the one who sends the message.
