You see a person’s true colors when you are no longer beneficial to their life.
When everything is good, when you’re giving, helping, supporting, or offering something they can gain, people will smile, call you “friend,” and act like they’re always there for you. But life has a way of exposing intentions. The moment you can no longer serve their interests, when you have nothing left to give, or when you simply say “no”… that’s when masks fall off. That’s when you see who truly cared for you, and who only cared about what they could get from you.
True colors are revealed in silence, in distance, in the absence of benefits. Some people will fade away the moment you stop being “useful.” Some will treat you differently once they realize you’re not their convenience anymore. That’s not a loss, that’s revelation. It’s not betrayal, it’s clarity.
And on the other side, there are those rare, genuine souls who stay when you’re at your lowest. They don’t count what you can do for them; they simply choose you for who you are. Those are the people you need to treasure, because loyalty and sincerity are priceless.
So don’t be disappointed when people walk away after you can no longer serve their needs. Take it as life’s way of removing the fake and making room for the real. Not everyone in your life is meant to stay forever, some are just lessons, while others are blessings.
Surround yourself with those who stand with you when you have nothing to give but yourself. That’s how you know who truly matters.
Cheers
