Who has genuine concern and care for you? People who praise you to skies in front of you, but mock you, criticise you, troll you badly behind your back? People who pretend to be concerned about you, but are mightily happy secretly in your presence and openly cannot control their glee behind your back when Fate gives you a huge tight slap in the face for no fault of yours?
Well, everybody knows the story of the two friends in the forest and the huge bear chasing them. Remember the bear's message according to the friend left to defend for himself despite mighty assurances to the contrary? People pretend and pretend because it suits them every which way, i suppose!
I am of the opinion actually that actions speak louder than words. A person who is all words withers away when you are in genuine difficulty. On the contrary, a person who goes out of his/her way to help out, even voluntarily most often, really means (s)he will be by/with you, right?
In my opinion, the most dangerous person is the one who is friends with everyone. Such a person is using all as puppets to his/her advantage. An honest person would disagree, stand up for a genuine issue, would not hold grudges for sure, but would call a spade a spade. Such a person may not be cute and popular, but surely would be truly genuine and reliable.
The best solution to such lived complexities is that you pray for, and forever are the best support in every context for, the people you care for because you know very well that in this wicked world, people may laugh and laugh, and yet behind the back be the worst villains and vamps possible as the Bard best put it.
