How Frenemies Could Be Bad for Your Health | Why the Ambivalent Relationships in Your Life are Toxic

How Frenemies Could Be Bad for Your Health | Why the Ambivalent Relationships in Your Life are Toxic The cost of betrayal runs high. This is whether we focus on the psychological and emotional toll, or the very real exposure to physical danger it can create. In either case, there is risk inherent when you keep your (fr)enemies close. The worst way to learn this is through personal experience. Having a network of individuals who are unreliable and untrustworthy is almost as dangerous as having no one but yourself to rely on. This became exceptionally clear to me by the time I was cycled into the fourth non-disclosed centre for women escaping violence, trying to escape the men (and women) who were actively terrorizing me. If ever you find yourself targeted by predatory individuals, recognize the first thing that they assess is the quality of your relationships. If there is a weak link, they are sure to exploit it. So, be proactive and deal with the weak links in your social networks to prevent being put in extreme situations to realize why having frenemies were always bad for your health and wellbeing. #mentalwellness #frenemies #toxicrelationships Any questions?
