True friends may miss you when you’re busy, but they’re still genuinely happy that you’re happy. A “snake” friend, on the other hand, acts like your joy is an inconvenience. When you share good news—an anniversary, a sweet gesture, a future plan—they roll their eyes, change the topic, or respond with sarcasm like, “Wow, someone’s obsessed,” or “Let’s see how long that lasts.” They downplay your milestones or act bored when things are going well, yet seem oddly energised when something goes wrong. Instead of clapping for your happiness, they treat it like a threat or a competition.
