Friend or Foe? Maybe Not, but Maybe So…

Okay, so we’ve all heard about, or maybe even experienced, the whole “Keep your friends close, but your enemies, closer” BS. Please don’t believe the hype. This is exactly how friendships, or what you thought was a friendship, can go to shambles. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand how if you were on the side of thinking everything was all good, this doesn’t apply to you. But hear me out, we have to start opening our eyes more and paying attention to those who claim to be our friend, only to get close to us to either know our business and tell it to others, or simply use it against us at the wrong time. Okay now, ladies, this doesn’t mean going behind your girlfriends and watching their every move with a magnifying glass trying to find something wrong. It does, however, mean that you should pay attention to slick, shady comments…especially when others are around. This is a huge red flag! The deep desire to embarrass you or make you look a certain way in front of others is a tell-tale sign of envy. What’s sad is that you have women who will say things like “That’s why I don’t hang around a lot of women”. But ironically, those are usually the ones doing this ridiculous s**t! It’s like “Ummmm…ma’am, YOU are the ones we are talking about here!” The nerve! It reminds me of how women talk about not wanting to go to the empowerment events that the mean girls throw, when they are actually the mean girls they speak of! It’s so comical to me. But back to what I was saying…

There are women who will simply embody everything a mean girl is, and she will want to be your friend. Listen (or read) closely, if you know that you are not the type to treat people a certain way and know without a shadow of a doubt that you are a good person, do not associate yourself with these types of women. They will suck you dry and have you thinking you did something wrong. It’s a manipulating tactic they use. Will have you walking around questioning yourself. It will almost feel like a relationship the way they switch up on you! Nah who has time for THAT?!?! Like sis, we aren’t f***ing, so why are you tripping like this? Y’all know the type I’m talking about! Don’t want you having other friends or feeling a way if you go somewhere with someone and didn’t invite them. Straight WEIRDO ENERGY! What makes it even more weird is this…they secretly don’t like you anyway!! Ain’t that crazy? All I’m saying is this, be mindful of the company you keep. Because sometimes, not only is that company not worth keeping, it ain’t even worth having around in the first place…
