friend-enemy

Very rarely is there balance in friendship. There will always be the one who feels smarter...

Prefer a friend-enemy.

Much of your pain will not come from your enemy. Your enemy is more honest than your friend, even because he declares himself as such. The friend pats you on the back and smiles at you; and that is a danger. The stranger will not cause you as much pain as an acquaintance.

Already the enemy is the true friend. He attacks, teaches you to defend yourself; and there will be no surprises, as that is what is expected of him.

The enemy leaves a message for you to be smart. But, the friend is like a snake. Slowly, he envelops you; slowly, it suffocates you; slowly, you die.

You don't know why you're feeling bad, and often it's because of your friend. The truth is that the enemy is not even close to the lethality that a friend has, because the friend is cowardly, steals your trust and, with it, develops insane traps.

The friend is a psychopath because he pretends to admire you. More clearly, he is stalking you.

On the other hand, the enemy doesn't care so much about you. What he wants is fun, leisure and entertainment. The enemy is sometimes just an "adversary". The friend, on the other hand, enters the game thinking about just winning and, therefore, it is very rare to have balance in a friendship.

However, there will always be the one who feels smarter. The one who feels the most important will emerge, and even the one who feels the most beautiful or the one who feels the most fun. Feeling more than the other proves that the friend is dangerous. He is discreet, doesn't say much, when he does, he only offers compliments (and his friend is annoying with compliments). What we most expect is someone telling us the truth.

"Wow! You've gained weight, Jorge!"; "Jorge, you really need to study because you're really late!" Examples of a friend-enemy are; he teases you.

The friend, in turn, only agrees with you on everything; this is massive.

It took us a while to realize how good it is when someone pulls our ear:

"Hey, how beautiful you are, my friend!"

Beware the friend who says this, as it can be deadly. Stay tuned to preserve your mental health and, in the end, you won't need to invest that much. Incidentally, the friend has the ability to make you doubt yourself.

"Am I enough?". Don't doubt yourself even if most of your friends do. If you've read my text up to here, you'll see that a friend is just a friend in the name.

Friend-enemy is that one; numbs you with words. The friend-enemy wakes you up, is loyal, quickly shows who he is.

The friend's achievements will hardly be just an achievement; in fact, there is a message behind the achievements:

"A struggle, but I conquered it all".

In fact, what the friend means is this:

"I have and you don't, I have and you don't!"; and he will still say that you are envious.

And if I could, I would say this to eternity:

The friend is wicked! The friend is cruel! That's the friend!

Many philosophers value friendship, which is beautiful. But, many forgot to say the damage it can cause. It could be worse than if you didn't.

Therefore, take care of yourself, as you will save time and money at a psychoanalyst.
