If you think you have no enemies, its only because they've become you're friends.
In the movie Kill Bill, right before Bill put a bullet in the Bride's head he said that at that moment he was at his most masochistic.

Well, at this moment, this is me at my most cynical.

Trust me, not all your friends want to see you doing well, and in fact, they'd be perfectly happy if you did poorly. It's human nature I guess, when someone does well it makes us reflect on our own life, and depending on how we're doing, we may be a lil bit jealous. I'm not exempt from this, I'm human like everyone else and its probably a normal feeling to have. Some friend's hater tendencies are benign ... but some are of the malignant sort, they can be a problem if left unchecked! How do you spot the malignant haters among your friends? When its benign, it's more obvious, they knock you for and tease you, their disdain is clear and present but nonetheless, they stand by you in the end as true friends usually do.
The malignant haters can be bit harder to spot. The reason they are hard to spot is they are deep undercover and enmeshed deeply into the tissue (so to speak). Their resentment is such that they have to keep it well covered and keep you close so that can be ready to hit you when an opportunity presents itself. The results can be devastating and often times, untracable by the naked eye. They can only be detected accidentally, like when there's a glitch in the matrix. When you spot it, its unmistakable and the whole facade unravels and the pattern reveals itself. You almost can't NOT see it anymore when you've become aware of it, past events connect together like the end of the Sixth Sense when all the scenes flash back to reveal Bruce Willis was actually dead. Amazing! Then you can exclaim "I see fake people!" When the target hater marked and labeled, never reveal that you are aware of his / her antics, play dumb and act as usual.
From the security blanket of your smiling face, you can observe them in action and use your it for your advantage. Pick a time and place in the immediate or distant future and deal out whatever you feel is fitting. The best part is, after they have been detected, it is fun to watch them in action because they are fascinating. Don't hate them back, they aren't even worthy, simply treat them like you would the mentally ill or the disabled, because they are clearly in need of help.

Props to the Fab Five
Yeah I watch QEFTSG on Bravo. I like the show. . .I admit it. The show makes me more a well rounded dude. I get great metrosexual fashion tips, idea's to decorate my condo, and laughs watching 5 gay guys do the work of overhauling the most neaderthal of us; that one decent gf can do minus the nagging. I've noticed something about the show; it gives a honest portrayl of dudes and how they live and most suprisingly they've portrayed asian men in a most positive light. I was at first concerned when they had the Korean frat boy guy and he totally blew it but then I realized his gf was a bitch so they actually made the best of a crazy situation. Then they had the Filipino dude and man they totallly kept it real. I mean this guy had to marry his first gf before they went off to Jersey of all places to work. And these cats weren't some ex-burgis/ex-pat's who had a ton of money. They lived on top of a freakin laundry mat! Decent kids tryin to survive and make best of what they had. I had to admit I was touched. They portrayed the dude just like the rest of us . . .kinda lost but our hearts are in the right place when it comes to our significant others. Next week they have another asian dude I think he's ABC and I think he's going to give up his day trading job to open a restaurant. Thanks guys for making "us"(Asian Males) look good on TV for once. I think the Fab Five have a little bit of Rice Queen fetish but hey as long as they go against typical mainstream portrayl of asian males I'll keep watchin'.
