How can you detect when a declared friend is actually an enemy? There are two ways to identify the pretender.
First, listen to your gut. If the person makes you feel creepy, unhappy or in a desperate mood to hurry and lock the door to the house to keep them absent, that offending person very well may be your worst enemy in disguise.
Second, over a period of time--say a few months--assess how this person in your life is affecting you. Is he mean and hurts you? Do you constantly feel upset and frightened? Is he a thief or urging you to hang with a gang of criminals? Does associating with him make your life better and more complete?
If the answers to these questions is that he make you worse, poor, in danger or constantly worked up, he is not your friend, and you need him out of your social circle permanently.
