Friends are those who cover for us, not those who cover us. Sometimes when we are trying to do something worthwhile, we all fall short and if we have good friends, they cover for us. They make up for our weaknesses and they compensate for the things that we are not able to do. However, some people in the name of being friends can exploit us and while covering for us, they start covering us. That means they start taking credit for the things that we have done and they prevent us from getting the credit that is due for us. Such friends need to be kept at a distance because they are actually enemies in the garb of friends.
