Fake friends are just attracted to the mysterious, But they disappear when they think they've "figured" you out. When they think they know what you are all about.

Curiosity gets mistaken for closeness constantly, and the difference only shows up later. Innocent watched a specific kind of person show up when he became interesting: gold diggers first, then people measuring their own status against his, then people who got hostile once they felt threatened by him. All of them left the moment they decided they had him worked out. What stayed was rarer and did the opposite — a friend who wanted the parts of him that weren’t flattering as much as the parts that were.
