Description
Let’s begin with some wisdom from Instagram: “There is no amount of gifts, affirmations, courtesy or kindness you can offer to a person who has already determined they're not going to like you. Learn not to take ownership of their toxic feelings, especially when you know you haven't done anything to warrant that type of reaction. If they're determined not to like you, be determined not to care.”  Today, we’re talking about frenemies. A frenemy is a person who pretends to be a friend, but is really an enemy. We are going to discuss how and why someone might become a frenemy, our experiences with frenemies and what you can do when you recognise one in your life.   What is covered:  -The definition of a frenemy  -How to transform envy and jealousy into synergy and cooperation -Dealing with betrayal in friendships -Why your wish to raise people up might be perceived as patronising  -How to redefine the boundaries with someone who turned out to be a frenemy -Can you stay friends with a frenemy?  Resources:  -Let’s connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigchatsmalltalk/   -Subscribe to be the first to know about new content https://linktr.ee/bigchatsmalltalk  -Send a Voice Message to Big Chat Small Talk https://www.speakpipe.com/BigChatSmallTalk
