Friendlimies: Enemies like friends
Friendship is a very important part of the human existence. I cannot imagine a life without friends or atleast a friend, it will be void of everything that makes it amazing and worth living. With no one to share with, no one to laugh with, fight with, confined in, gossip with, cry with, rejoice with, and be with.
God designed friendship from the creation of the world when he gave Adam Eve. He looked at poor Adam and saw a lonely, helpless and alone man then he built a friend for him in the person of a friend.
Friends, They help us develop a sense of sharing be it tangible things or just inspirational or motivational words of wisdom. And usually a friend can be casual, close, best or a role model
for most of us. Some friends may even be closer to you when compared to some of the others, for example
like a best friend or a motivator. Friends often. give you a shoulder to cry on when you need emotional support. Without friends life can be so boring as they contribute to your happiness on a daily basis.
Just like family, friends do have a major impact in your lives journey. Everyone that comes into your life comes for a reason and some for a season. Not everyone we call "friend" means well for you or has your interest at heart.
It is in your ability to recognize those who truly are your friends that will aid you to be successful. Do you know your friends have a major role to play in Your future?
True friends
A good friend shows up no matter what. A true friend supports and encourages us, tolerates our shortcomings, accepts us unconditionally, and cares for us no matter what. A real friend walks in (even when they’d rather be somewhere else), when everyone else is walking out.
With a true friend the walls come
down and you can be who you are without fear. A good friend knows you well—sometimes better than you do yourself—and is not afraid to tell you
things you don’t want to tell yourself.
A friend is present for you no matter what time of the night or day it is. “A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.would Friendship is a partnership. Two people come together on equal terms. They give their all. Friendship demands more than love. Friendship
expects and endures the good, the bad, and the ugly. A best friend is someone who brings out the best in you. “The only way to have a friend is to be one.”
Be careful not to fall prey to friendlimies as I would term them enemies that comes into your life disguised as friends. They walk their way into your life and your heart and make you trust their actions without knowing their intentions.
In my short life experience I have had my fair share from friendlimies which affected me really well this was a guy I called my brother and took him in as a friend but he was an enemy I didn't know. Just like the old saying goes
the enemy you know is better than an angel you don't know
Let's me not go into details of my experience but I'll leave you with this. Friendship is mutual and never one sided. Once you begin to force yourself on the other just know you have overstayed your welcome, thread with caution, love with your heart and use your head too.
Appreciate the friends who have been true to you, those one who stood by you in stormy weather and they held on. Those one who would go the extra mile for you and won't expect anything in return. Those one you fight with and they still tell you and show you that they love you. Those ones who motivate you to achieve the very best in life. Those one who ain't threatened by your success and are not happy at your failure.
How will you know a friendlimy?
• They are always about themselves and wouldn't do anything that won't favor them.
• they talk down on your dreams
• They are unreliable
• They are selfish
• They pretend like they care when they actually don't
• They always see themselves better
• They are not team players
• They are always jealous of your success
• They are never around when you really need them
• They run in the slightest treat of danger
You just would😋know its a heart thing.

Amazing post @josefpius
This write-up helps to point out the fact that in as much as a person is being regarded as a friend, not all friends have good intentions.
Some come with the disguise as being friends, but have an ulterior motive.
