Surely you have heard about such a concept as sworn friends. It turns out that in modern psychology it is very often used to describe a certain toxic type of people who are in the environment of almost all of us.
There are many unpleasant people such as manipulators or energy vampires, but these are other people who can ruin your life and most likely already actively do so.
What does sworn friends mean?
They have a dual character – they are friends, but also enemies at the same time, which is why they are also called “other enemies”. They act like your friends, but from time to time they can show the negative side of their character, which has an extremely negative effect on self-esteem.
For example, such people are capable of being very toxic and aggressive, but only under certain circumstances. It turns out that these are two personalities in one – your enemy and your friend. Communication with such individuals has an extremely bad effect on energy and chakras.

How to recognize such people?
Here are the most important signs:
• a sworn friend cannot be happy for you.
You communicate well, exchange information, but as soon as something very good happens in your life, this friend immediately turns cold. The reason for this behavior is banal envy, which destroys not only his own life, but also yours;
Beware of them! They are FAKE friends!
• friend-enemy constantly belittles your achievements.
This person deliberately says something unpleasant to force you to look for flaws in yourself: “those pants make you fat”, “this man is too handsome for you”, etc. Here the reason is not only envy, but also addiction to quite obvious energy vampirism.
• they doubt everything all the time.
The purpose of this behavior is to boycott your development. They themselves do not want to become happy and strong, therefore they cannot allow others to do this. Sometimes this behavior is unintentional. It’s just that such people have very low self-esteem.
• they may gossip behind your back.
Next to you, they are very friendly and positive, but behind your back they become real gossipers. They can tell your secrets to other people.

How to neutralize such people?
Best friends are often like that by nature. If their behavior does not make you uncomfortable at all, then nothing should be done. Otherwise, you will have to act.
To begin with, you should try to answer a simple question: “Can I live without this person?”. If the answer is yes, then you can safely cut absolutely all ties with him. You will be much better off that way. After all, it will cause much less inconvenience or stop delivering them at all.
If you value friendship, then you should do the following. First, you need to tell such a person what exactly in his behavior hurts you. If there is no change after this conversation, you can limit contacts as much as possible. In many cases, sworn enemies make concessions.
