There may be many hidden enemies among your acquaintances.
We are talking about people who hate you or envy you, but are unlikely to admit it.
Such individuals are very dangerous. They can do harm on the sly or seriously set you up.
Such people in the environment need to be identified as early as possible.
And this is quite possible. It is enough just not to ignore the following behavioral features.
Often flatters
People who hide their hatred are very fond of flattery.
Does someone you know constantly shower you with compliments, but you don't feel sincerity on their part? Perhaps you are dealing with a hidden enemy.
Often tries to "prick"
While some envious and haters go overboard with praise, others try to hurt.
Of course, they won't insult a person directly, but they won't do without some caustic remarks.
By the way, the ability to alternate flattery with unpleasant “teasing” is also a sign of a hidden enemy.
Devalues your achievements
A person who treats you well or neutrally is unlikely to start to devalue your merits. The thing is that he does not need to assert himself.
But a hidden enemy may well use phrases like: “I can do that too,” “It’s been better,” etc.
Interested in problems but doesn't help
Are you in a difficult life situation? Has your interlocutor suddenly become interested in your difficulties?
There are two possible explanations for this behavior. First, the person wants to help, so he finds out the details.
The second explanation: the person gets pleasure from the fact that you are having a hard time.
Sometimes it "breaks down"
No matter how restrained the enemy is, he will periodically “break loose”.
Such a person may suddenly yell at you or start a quarrel out of nowhere.
