Fuck Off All Your Friendenemies

Let’s talk about that exhausting middle ground of people who pretend to like you but secretly don’t — the “friendenemies.” You know the ones.

They smile when you’re struggling.

They go suspiciously silent when you succeed.

They cheer you on — but only as long as you stay beneath them.

And here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: You don’t owe them shit.

👀 Spotting a Friendenemy

A friendenemy is not an obvious hater. They’re sneakier. Polished. Sometimes charming. They’ve mastered the art of the backhanded compliment. They say things like:

• “Wow, I could never wear something like that… good for you though!”
• “You’re so brave for starting your own business. Aren’t you worried about money though?”
• “You’ve changed.” (Translation: You’re no longer playing small to keep them comfortable.)

Friendenemies love to keep you doubting yourself. Because if you level up — really shine — it exposes all the ways they’re still hiding from their own potential.

🧹 Clean-Up Time: Why You Gotta Let Them Go

Holding on to toxic relationships out of guilt or history is like keeping expired milk in the fridge. You don’t want it, you won’t use it, and it’s starting to stink.

Letting go of friendenemies clears space — emotional, mental, and energetic — for the real ones to show up. The people who clap when you win, check in when you’re low, and genuinely like you without competition or critique.

🚪 Exit Strategy: How to Peacefully (or Powerfully) Unfollow

• Stop oversharing. Friendenemies feed on your updates. Give them nothing.
• Set subtle boundaries. Grey rock their drama. Politely decline the invites.
• Go full ghost if needed. You don’t need to explain your self-respect.
• Don’t engage. If they notice your distance and act offended, that’s on them. Not you.

✨ Your Energy is Sacred

You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to glow. You’re allowed to outgrow people who only liked the dimmer version of you.

Let them go — with love if you can, with fire if you must.

Because when you stop making space for friendenemies, you make room for true friendships, real joy, and your next badass chapter.

Tagline idea:

Fuck politeness. Protect your peace.
