There are people who can associate with you who play the role of a friend because
1. They have nothing else better to do
2. There are no other people who float their boat interest wise
3. They are lonely
There are hints that one will drop indicating that they faux friends in the first place
1. You get together with them and while you are excited to see them, they don't mirror the same expressions or seem very excited to see you. When they are around other people, it's another story.
2. You hug them but they don't huge you back
3. They give short answers like "Cool" "That's nice," "Fine."
4. Hide their true feelings towards you behind their friends, family, significant other etc. E.G (You and your "Friend" get together with another friend or family member and seem to get along with other people closest to you and think everything is cool). They tell you that their friends and family don't like you due to XYZ(talking too much, over the fact that you eat blueberries, wear your hair short etc)
5. Everything is a competition to them
6. They say passive aggressive things to cut you down
7. No matter how many times you go the extra mile for, they reach out to other people and show their appreciation for them.
8. They make plans and bail
9. The make excuses about getting together
10. They use you for things and again don't show gratitude
11. They kick you when you are down
Yes, I've known people like this. They're not real friends. I would ditch them.
