There are two kinds of people in our lives: those who love us, and those who love the idea of us. The difference sounds small, but it’s everything. One will water your roots; the other only wants your shade. The hardest part? Pretenders rarely walk in wearing name tags. They look like friends, they sound like lovers, they act like soulmates, until one day, the mask slips. Krishna, the master of relationships and the most human of gods, understood this long before “ghosting” was a word. In the Bhagavad Gita and beyond, he showed us how to separate truth from illusion, loyalty from performance. If you’ve ever felt betrayed by someone who claimed to love you, his wisdom is the antidote.

1. Words fade, patterns don’t
Anyone can say “I care.” Krishna taught that a person’s nature is revealed by repeated action. Someone who loves you doesn’t just show up when it’s easy, they show up when it’s inconvenient. If their affection disappears the moment you stop being useful, it was never love, only a transaction.

2. Real love gives, fake love consumes
Krishna gave joy freely, but never allowed others to drain him dry. He knew that love should be a source of strength, not exhaustion. If someone leaves you emptier after every interaction, understand this: they’re not giving you love, they’re taking your peace.

3. Attachment masquerades as love
“Where there is attachment, there is suffering,” Krishna warned. Some people cling to you, not because they cherish you, but because they fear losing their comfort. That isn’t love, it’s dependency dressed up in sweet words. Love celebrates your freedom; attachment tries to chain it.

4. Illusion can’t survive clarity
Krishna’s flute charmed many, but he was never fooled by flattery. His wisdom was simple: truth doesn’t hide. If someone’s intentions feel cloudy, if their actions confuse more than they comfort, step back. Love is not supposed to be a riddle you can’t solve, it is the one place clarity should feel natural.

5. Walking away is protection, not loss
Krishna never clung to those who weren’t meant to stay. Even at Kurukshetra, he reminded Arjuna that letting go is sometimes the highest act of love, love for the truth, love for dharma, love for the self. When you walk away from false love, you don’t lose anything real. You only lose the illusion.

Closing:
The world is full of people who will tell you they love you. Krishna’s wisdom reminds us to look deeper, not at what is promised, but at what is lived. Real love will never ask you to shrink. It will never confuse you into doubt. It will stand quietly, steadily, unmistakably.
And if you find yourself surrounded by those who only pretend? Remember Krishna’s lesson: the truth doesn’t beg. It doesn’t plead. It simply shines and lets everything false fall away.
