It really makes sense…

Exclusion is a classic fake-friend move. They will include you when it suits their needs; for example, when they require a ride or need someone to complain about things to. However, as soon as some fun activities are involved, you are instantly excluded. In a healthy friendship, there should be some balance. When you are the one always calling or including them but not getting anything in return, there is an issue.

Real friends want you there. They don’t want to have a great time and realize later that you were missing; they’re the ones texting you “Where are you?” or making sure you’re in the loop from the start.

5. They only call when they need a favor
Isn’t there a person that calls you only when they need you? It can be anything from needing help with moving, needing money, wanting your notes because they didn’t take any, or they got through a break-up and want someone to talk to for 3 hours.

Here, the friendship is nothing but an exchange. You are being paid for services rather than being a friend. The best test for this would be checking whether or not they care enough about you to check up on you. Does that ever happen without demanding anything in return?
